Answer:

(a)The distance between points N and P is 8 cm.

(b)The distance between points M and N is 16 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Point N lies on the line segment MP.

The distance between M and P is 24 cm.

That is MP= 24 cm

The distance between points N and M is twice longer than between points N and P.

That is

MN = 2 NP.

Since the point N lies on the line segment MP.

So, MN+NP= MP.

∴2 NP + NP= 24       [∵ MP= 24 cm]

⇒3 NP= 24

\Rightarrow NP= \frac{24}{3}

⇒NP= 8

The distance between points N and P is 8 cm.

(b)

Since

MN= 2 NP

⇒MN= 2×8

⇒MN= 16 cm.

The distance between points M and N is 16 cm.

Find the complement of the set given that
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A ' = {-2,-1,0,1, 4,7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the Universal set U is given as:

U = {x | x is in I and −3 ≤ x ≤ 7}

⇒ U = { -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

Now given: A = {−3, 2, 3, 5, 6}

Compliment  A set of any set A is the set of all the elements which is in the universal set U but NOT in A.

So, here the set of elements which are in U but not in A  is

A ' = {-2,-1,0,1, 4,7}

So here the elements in the compliment of the given set -2,-1,0,1,4,7

Use the given facts about the functions to find the indicated limit.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: Option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

 1. You can rewrite it as following:

\lim_{x\to \ -6} 2

This means that you must substitute x=-6 into the limit. There is not x, then the function is always equal to 2, no matter the value of x.

\lim_{x\to \ -6} 2=2

 \lim_{x\to \ -6} 1

 This means that you must substitute x=-6 into the limit. There is not x, then the function is always equal to 1, no matter the value of x.

\lim_{x\to \ -6} 1=1

2. Then:

\lim_{x\to \ -6} (f/g)(x)=2/1=2

3. The answer 2.

a rectangular mural measures 3.5ft by 5.5ft. Rosalie creates a new mural that is 1.5 ft longer. What is the perimeter of Rosalie
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

P = length + width x 2
P = 3.5ft + 5.5ft x 2
P = 9ft x 2
P = 18ft + 1.5ft (the new mural)
P = 19.5ft

Therefore the perimeter of Rosalie's new mural is 19.5ft

Circle D is below what is the arc measure of BC in degrees
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

84°

Step-by-step explanation:

\because (13n - 16) \degree + (7n  + 12) \degree + (6n)\degree \\= 360\degree \\  \\  \therefore \: (26n - 4) \degree= 360\degree \\  \\  \therefore \: 26n - 4= 360 \\  \\ \therefore \: 26n = 360 + 4 \\  \\ \therefore \: 26n = 364 \\  \\ \therefore \: n =  \frac{364}{26}  \\  \\ \therefore \: n =  14 \\  \\\because  m\overset { \frown}{BC} = (6n)°\\  \\\therefore \:m \overset { \frown}{BC} =(6\times 14)°  \\  \\   \huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore \:m\overset { \frown}{BC}= 84°}} \\
