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

Use appropriate algebra and theorem 7.2.1 to find the given inverse laplace transform. (write your answer as a function of t.) ℒ
castortr0y [4]

We assume you want to find the inverse transform of s/(s^2 +3s -4). This can be written in partial fraction form as

(4/5)/(s+4) + (1/5)/(s-1)

which can be found in a table of transforms to be the transform of

(4/5)e^(-4t) + (1/5)e^t


_____

There are a number of ways to determine the partial fractions. They all start with factoring the denominator.

s^2 +3x -4 = (s+4)(s-1)


After that, you can postulate the final form and determine the values of the coefficients that make it so. For example:

A/(s+4) + B/(s-1) = ((A+B)s + (4B-A))/(s^2 +3x -4)


This gives rise to two equations:

(A+B) = 1

(4B-A) = 0

Suponha que uma variável assume os valores: 11 – 8 – 7 – a – 16 – 10 Determine a de modo que a média aritmética seja igual 11.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

a = 14  

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the sum of the values divided by the number of values.

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Mean}&= &\dfrac{11 + 8 + 7 + a + 16 + 10}{6}\\\\\dfrac{52 + a}{6}& = & 11\\52 + a & = & 66\\a & = & 66 - 52\\& = & \mathbf{14}\\\end{array}

X+1/2(x-4)=1/2x+6(x-2)
Andrej [43]

Answer:

B) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+1/2(x-4)=1/2x+6(x-2)

x+1/2x-4/2=1/2x+6x-12

x+1/2x-1/2x-2=6x-12

x-2=6x-12

x-6x-2=-12

-5x-2=-12

-5x=-12+2

-5x=-10

5x=10

x=10/5

x=2
