You can solve this either just plain algebra or with the use of trigonometry.
In this case, we'll just use algebra.
 
So, if we let M be the the point that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3:2, we have this relation:
KM/ML = 3/2
KM = 1.5 ML

We also have this:
KL = KM + ML
Substituting KM,
KL = (3/2) ML + ML
KL = 2.5 ML

Using the distance formula and the given coordinates of the K and L, we get the length of KL
KL = sqrt ( (5-(-5)^2 + (1-(-4))^2 ) = 5 sqrt(5)

Since,
KL = 2.5 ML

Substituting KL,
ML = (1/2.5) KL = (1/2.5) 5 sqrt(5) = 2 sqrt(5)

Using again the distance formula from M to L and letting (x,y) as the coordinates of the point M
ML = 2 sqrt(5) = sqrt ( (5-x)^2 + (1-y)^2 )   [let this be equation 1]

In order to solve this, we need to find an expression of y in terms of x. We can use the equation of the line KL.
The slope m is:
m = (1-(-4))/(5-(-5) = 0.5

Using the general form of the linear equation:
y = mx +b
We substitue m and the coordinate of K or L. We'll just use K.
-5 = (0.5)(-4) + b
b = -1.5

So equation of the line is
y = 0.5x - 1.5      [let this be equation 2]

Substitute equation 2 to equation 1 and solving for x, we get 2 values of x,
x=1, x=9

Since 9 does not make sense (it does not lie on the line), we choose x=1.
Using the equation of the line, we get y which is -1.

So, we get the coordinates of point M which is (1,-1)

You spend 8 hours each weekday at school. Write the portion of a weekday spent a school as a fraction, decimal, and a percent. W
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 32/56, 0.57, 57% rounded = 60%

Step-by-step explanation: 8 times 7 =56 and 8 times 4= 32. our fraction is 32/56. divide 32 by 56 to make out a decimal= 0.57. Multiply 0.57 by 100 to make out a percent = 57%

Select the problems which show the correct answers. (1.12 x 105) (6.06 x 105) Answer: 6.79 x 1010 (2 x 101)(3.0 x 101) Answer: 6
Arisa [49]
Since multiplication is commutative, we can rearrange the problem: 
(1.12*10^5)(6.06*10^5) = (1.12*6.06)(10^5*10^5)
Using the properties of exponents, we have:
(1.12*6.06)(10^10)
\\=6.7872*10^10

Again, multiplication is commutative, so we rearrange the problem; then we use the product property of exponents:
(2*10^1)(3*10^1)
\\=(2*3)(10^1*10^1)
\\=6*10^2

(2.775*10^-^4)(4.775*10^4)
\\=(2.775*4.775)(10^-^4*10^4)
\\=(2.775*4.775)(10^0)
\\=(2.775*4.775)(1)
\\=2.775*4.775=13.250625=1.3250625*10^1

5(8.14*10^2)=(5*8.14)(10^2)=40.7*10^2=4.07*10^3

If the polynomial
erik [133]

Answer:

  • (C) - x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given polynomial:</u>

  • x¹⁹ + x¹⁷ + x¹³ + x⁷ + x⁵ + x³

<u>Group as follows:</u>

  • (x¹⁹ + x¹⁷) + (x¹³ + x¹¹) + (x⁷ + x⁵) + (x³ + x) - x =
  • x¹⁷(x² + 1) + x¹¹(x² + 1) + x¹⁵(x² + 1) + x(x² + 1) - x

As we see all terms have (x² + 1) as factor apart from the last one.

It means the remainder is - x

Correct choice is C
