Answer:

The position vector of point C is <-3 , -17 , 8> or -3i - 17j + 8k

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise how to solve the problem

- If the endpoints of a segment are (x1 , y1 , z1) and (x2 , y2 , z2), and

 point (x , y , z) divides the segment externally at ratio m1 :m2, then

 x=\frac{m_{1}x_{2}-m_{2}x_{1}}{m_{1} -m_{2}},y=\frac{m_{1}y_{2}-m_{2}y_{1}}{m_{1}-m_{2}},z=\frac{m_{1}z_{2}-m_{2}z_{1}}{m_{1}-m_{2}}

* Lets solve the problem

∵ AB is a segment where A = (3 , 1 , 2) and B = (1 , - 5 , 4)

∵ Point C lies on line AB such that AC : BC=3 : 2

∵ From the ratio AC = 3/2 AB

∴ C divides AB externally

- Lets use the rule above to find the coordinates of C

- Let Point A is (x1 , y1 , z1) , point B is (x2 , y2 , z2) and point C is (x , y , z)

 and AC : AB is m1 : m2

∴ x1 = 3 , x2 = 1

∴ y1 = 1 , y2 = -5

∴ z1 = 2 , z2 = 4

∴ m1 = 3 , m2 = 2

- By using the rule above

∴ x=\frac{3(1)-2(3)}{3-2}=\frac{3-6}{1}=\frac{-3}{1}=-3

∴ y=\frac{3(-5)-2(1)}{3-2}=\frac{x=-15-2}{1}=\frac{-17}{1}=-17

∴ z=\frac{3(4)-2(2)}{3-2}=\frac{12-4}{1}=\frac{8}{1}=8

∴ The coordinates fo point c are (-3 , -17 , 8)

* The position vector of point C is <-3 , -17 , 8> or -3i - 17j + 8k

Answer:

Parallel Lines have the SAME SLOPE

We first Find the Slope of the line  

y = 2 x + 3

The Slope Intercept Form of the equation of a given line is:

y = m x + c

where  m  is the Slope of that line, and  c  is the Y intercept. For this line, the Slope is  2  So the Slope of the line PARALLEL to  

y = 2 x + 3

will also be  2 . And we are given that it passes through the point  

( − 3 , 4 )  

With this, we can use the Point Slope form to find the equation of the line.  

The Point-Slope form of the Equation of a Straight Line is:

( y − k ) = m ⋅ ( x − h )  m  is the Slope of the Line  

( h , k )  are the co-ordinates of any point on that Line.  

Here, we have been given the coordinates  

( h , k )  of 1 point on that line as  ( − 3 , 4 )  

And the Slope  m  is  2

Substituting the values of  h , k and m  in the Point-Slope form, we get

( y − 4 ) = ( 2) ⋅ ( x − ( − 3 ) )

The above will be the Equation of the Line in Point-Slope form.

If we need it in the Slope Intercept Form, we need to follow these steps:

Modifying the equation, we get:

( y − 4 ) = 2 ⋅ ( x + 3 )  

y − 4 = 2 x + 6

y = 2 x + 6 + 4  

We get the equation of the line as :

y = 2 x + 10

13. Xavier spent $84 on art supplies. The canvas for each of his paintings is an additional $1. He
sergeinik [125]

Answer: 84 = 8p - 1 (or $84 = $8p - $1, but it is usually put together like the first equation)

Step-by-step explanation: $84 is the break even point, so the equation must be able to come out to at least $84 if it is correct.

$84 in equation is break even

8p/$8p is the price per painting

-1/-$1 is the addition from the canvas

Find the semi monthly salary when the weekly salary is $1,200
cestrela7 [59]

Semi-monthly means twice every month, typically either on the 1st and 15th,
or on the 15th and last.

Months don't line up with weeks in any regular way.   Depending on the
company, if they say "bi-monthly", they may pay 24 times a year, or else
26 times a year.

If they pay every 2 weeks, the semi-monthly is $2400.

Tina bought a painting while on vacation in 2009. The table below shows the value of the painting in2009,2010,and2011. If this t
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The answer is E

Step-by-step explanation:

We first are going to look at our first term on the table(the number that comes up first) which is $75.

Then we have to find the common factor. So, you divide the second number by the first number( 88.50 divided by 75 which gets us 1.18).

<em>Now, since we found the first term and the common factor, we are going to have to find the exponent for our f(x) equation.   </em>

<em>We know that she bought the painting in 2009! Now the problem is asking how much the painting will cost in 2030. So, you will subtract 2030-2009 which gets you 21! So 21 is your exponent!</em>

<em>Equation: </em><em>   F(x)= 75(1.18) ^21 </em>

<em>The answer that you get is:    $2424.28</em>
