Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 4)
What you are being asked to do is find the exact same binomial in the top as is in the bottom.
But there's a small catch. You must stipulate that x cannot equal 4. If it does, then you will get 0/0 which is undefined. You can't have that happening -- not at this level.
Any other value for x is fine.
Answer:
In the given figure the point on segment PQ is twice as from P as from Q is. What is the point? Ans is (2,1).
Step-by-step explanation:
There is really no need to use any quadratics or roots.
( Consider the same problem on the plain number line first. )
How do you find the number between 2 and 5 which is twice as far from 2 as from 5?
You take their difference, which is 3. Now splitting this distance by ratio 2:1 means the first distance is two thirds, the second is one third, so we get
4=2+23(5−2)
It works completely the same with geometric points (using vector operations), just linear interpolation: Call the result R, then
R=P+23(Q−P)
so in your case we get
R=(0,−1)+23(3,3)=(2,1)
Why does this work for 2D-distances as well, even if there seem to be roots involved? Because vector length behaves linearly after all! (meaning |t⋅a⃗ |=t|a⃗ | for any positive scalar t)
Edit: We'll try to divide a distance s into parts a and b such that a is twice as long as b. So it's a=2b and we get
s=a+b=2b+b=3b
⇔b=13s⇒a=23s
Answer:C
Step-by-step explanation:
180-(60+40)=80°
C=80°
20/sin80. =a/sin40
a=(20sin40)÷sin80
=13.1
Answer:
-10/7
Step-by-step explanation:
w - 5 = 8w + 5
w - 8w = 5 + 5
-7w = 10
w = - 10/7
