Answer:

C. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Point R divides the line segment PQ internally. The x-coordinate of the point which divides the line segment in ration m:n internally can be calculated as:

x=(\frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n} )

Here, x1 is the x-coordinate of 1st point, x2 is the x-coordinate of 2nd point, x is the x-coordinate of point dividing the segment. We have all the values except x2. Using the given values in above formula, we get:

-1=\frac{x_{2}+3(-3) }{1+3} \\ \\-4=x_{2}-9\\\\ 5=x_{2}

Thus the x-coordinate of point Q will be 5

The x-coordinate of Q is 5.

Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year. How many years will it take for
Rudik [331]
A(t) = Ao*e^(-rt)

-rt = ln [ A(t)/ Ao]

t = - ln [ A(t)/ Ao] / r

r= 0.0124% = 0.0124/100 = 0.000124

A(t)/A0 = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

Now substitute

t = - ln [0.1] / 0.000124 = 2.3025851 / 0.000124 = 18,569 years

Your result will depend on how you round ln(0.1).

Find the 8th term of the geometric sequence: 1/3, -1, 3
olga55 [171]

Step-by-step explanation:

a= 1/3

common ratio = -3

the 8th term is given by,

a {r}^{7}  =  \frac{1}{3}  \times  {( - 3)}^{7}

=  - 729

Does x*x*x*x*x = 5x?<br> I'm not really sure so it would help.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

no ,x*x*x*x*x=x^5

x+x+x+x+x=5x

in multiplication those who have same base we add their power.

in addition those variables which have same base(or are like term) we add them.

During the first 15 weeks of the 2016 season of a certain professional football​ league, the home team won 141 of the 241 ​regul
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The answer is 2.0190

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>From the given question,</em>

<em>We recall that,</em>

<em>p = 141/241 = 0.5850</em>

<em>so, p = 0.5</em>

<em>The Hypothesis is:</em>

<em>H₀ : P = 0.5, this means that  H0:50% of the games played will be won</em>

<em>vs</em>

<em>H₁ : P > 0.5, This indicates that, win is greater than 0.5 due to home field advantages.</em>

<em>n=241,x=141</em>

<em>Then,</em>

<em>SD(p)=√(p*q/n)=√(0.5*0.5/141)=0.0421</em>

<em>z = p - p/ SD (p) = 0.5850 - 0.5/0.0421 = 0.085/0.0421 =2.0190</em>

<em>therefore, there is strong evidence that there is home field advantages in professional football.</em>
