Answer:
We also drew a graph with 2 examples.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have the line segment CD, we can divide it by 4: 1 as follows:
If point C has the coordinates (x1, z1) and point D has the coordinates (x2, z2), we calculate coordinate the points Y as follows:
y1 = (x2-x1) · 4/5
y2 = (z2-z1) · 4/5
In this way we have obtained the point Y with the coordinates (y1, y2), and the point Y divides the line segment CD by 4:1.
We also drew a graph with 2 examples.
In general, √(y²) = |y|, since y can be positive or negative and y² would have the same value either way.
So,
1) if y > 0, then |y| = y, and
-15√(y²) = -15 |y| = -15y
2) if y < 0, then |y| = -y, and
-√(16y²) = -|4y| = -|4| |y| = -4 (-y) = 4y
If Marcus can type 40 words in half a minute, then 40 times 2 equals 80. 80 words a minute for Marcus. If Rhys can type 100 words in 1 1/2 minute, 100/ 1.5 = 66.66 and 80>66.66 so Marcus can type a greater rate of words per minute.
