We have that
point A(-7,2) and point B(-1,-4)

Step 1
find the distance AB
d=√[(-4-2)²+(-1+7)²]------------> √[36+36]
d=√72

step 2
find the point M
five-sixths of the distance from AB----------> (5/6)*√72

see the attached figure
AC/AB=x/((5/6)*AB)
6/(AB)=x/((5/6)*AB)--------> 6=6x/5
x=30/6-------> x=5

CB/AB=y/((5/6)*AB)
6/AB=y/((5/6)*AB)---------> 6=6y/5
y=30/6-------> y=5

therefore
the coordinate x of point M is
A(-7,2)
Mx=-7+5=-2

the coordinate y of point M is
A(-7,2)
My=2-5=-3

the point M is (-2,-3)

If an open box has a square base and a volume of 115 in.3 and is constructed from a tin sheet, find the dimensions of the box, a

Karolina [17]

Let h = height of the box,
x = side length of the base.

Volume of the box is $V=x^{2} h = 115$ .
So $h = \frac{115}{ x^{2} }$

Surface area of a box is S = 2(Width • Length + Length • Height + Height • Width).
So surface area of the box is
$S = 2( x^{2} + hx + hx) \\ = 2 x^{2} + 4hx \\ = 2 x^{2} + 4( \frac{115}{ x^{2} } )x$
$= 2 x^{2} + \frac{460}{x}$
The surface are is supposed to be the minimum. So we'll need to find the first derivative of the surface area function and set it to zero.

$S' = 4x- \frac{460}{ x^{2} } = 0$
$4x = \frac{460}{ x^{2} } \\ 4x^{3} = 460 \\ x^{3} = 115 \\ x = \sqrt[3]{115} = 4.86$
Then $h= \frac{115}{4.86^{2}} = 4.87$
So the box is 4.86 in. wide and 4.87 in. high.

Subtract the exponents when the base number is the same.

2 - 7 = -5

So 9^-5 or 1/9^5.

In January, you deposit $150 into your checking account. Every month after that, you deposit 10% more than you did the month bef

Leviafan [203]

Okay. So you deposit $150 in January and 10% more as each month passes by, which if you count, that would be 7 months. When it comes to compound interest, the formula for it is P(1 + r)^t. That means r = interest rate, P = principal, and t = time. In this case, we add 1 to 10% in decimal for. 10% is 0.1 in decimal form. 1 + 0.1 is 1.1. Now, compound 1.1 to the 7th power, because you repeat this 7 times. 1.1^7 is 1.9487171. Don't delete the decimal from your calculator. Now, multiply that decimal by 150 to get the new amount. When you do, you get 292.307565 or 292.31 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. You deposit $292.31 in August.
