Find the coordinates of point P

1 answer:

6 0

Here is the formula for finding a partitioning point:
x=x1+k(x2-x1), y=y1+k(y2-y1)
k is the ratio of the segment from the beginning point to the partitioning : the whole segment. In this case, k=AP:AB=5/16
so x=1+(5/16)*(-2-1)=1/16
y=6+(5/16)(-3-6)=51/16
so the answer is (-1/16, 51/16)

Please double check my calculation by yourself.

refer to this website for the formula and how to find k:

"This ratio is called k, and is determined by writing the numerator over the sum of the numerator and the denominator of the original ratio."

Answer:

s = 6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the velocity v is given as:

$v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 6 sin(2t)$ m/s

To find s, we have to integrate and apply the initial values of s = o when t = 0:

$\frac{ds}{dt} = 6 sin(2t)\\\\\int\limits^s_0 {ds} = \int\limits^t_0 {6sin(2t)} \, dt\\\\s|^s_o = -3cos(2t)|^t_o\\\\s - 0 = -3cos(2t) -(-3cos(0))\\\\s = -3cos(2t) + 3(1)\\\\s = -3cos(2t) + 3$
