Which of the points given divide the line segment AB in the ratio 2:3?

Mathematics

alexira [117]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is Choice D, (5, 7).

First, we need to identify the slope from A to B.
It will be -5/-5. In other words, to go from A to B, we move down 5 spaces and left 5 spaces.

If we are going to divide the segment, we are not going to move all 5 spaces in each direction. 

Since we are looking for a 2:3 ratio, we are only moving 2 out of the total of 5 spaces. It is 2 over 5, because 2 + 3 makes a total of 5.

Therefore, we only move down 2 and left 2 spaces from Point A. That will put us at the point (5, 7).

Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 8 inches and a height that is three times the radius round to the nearest hundr
patriot [66]

volume for cylinder = pi x r^2 x h

 radius = half the diameter = 8/2 =4

height = 3 times the radius = 3*4 =12

using 3.14 for pi

volume = 3.14 x 4^2 x 12 = 602.88 cubic inches

What is the value of x in the equation 7(4x+1)−3x=5x−13?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

7(4x+1)−3x=5x−13

Distribute

28x +7 -3x = 5x -13

Combine like terms

25x+7 = 5x-13

Subtract 5x from each side

25x-5x +7 = -13

20x +7 = -13

Subtract 7 from each side

20x+7-7 = -13-7

20x = -20

Divide by 20

20x/20 = -20/20

x = -1

Answer choice (A)5/30 (B)3/17 (C) 8/30 (D) 16/30
ratelena [41]
<h3>Answer: (C) 8/30</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

There are 5+3 = 8 people in choir and running club. I added the values in the overlapped region of the circles "choir" and "running club".

This is out of 2+5+6+7+3+4+3 = 30 people total.

Divide the two results to form the fraction 8/30

Ideally we should reduce to get 4/15, but your teacher has chosen not to reduce.

Part A Assume the ball passes through the points ( 3 , 8 ) , ( 5 , 20 3 ) , and ( 6 , 5 ) . Use this data to set up a system of
Zepler [3.9K]

The three system of equations are 9a + 3b + c = 8, 75a + 15b + 3c = 20, and 36a + 6b + c = 5.

<h3>What is a solution to a system of equations? (SOLUTION GRAPHICALLY)</h3>

For a solution to be the solution to a system, it must satisfy all the equations of that system, and like all points satisfying an equation are in their graphs, so solution to a system is the intersection of all its equation at a single point(as we need a common point, which is going to be the intersection of course)(this can be one or many, or sometimes none).

The general equation of parabola is given as,

y = ax² + bx + c

The first point is (3,8), therefore, we can write,

8 = a(3)² + b(3) + c

9a + 3b + c = 8

The second point is (5, 20/3), therefore, we can write,

20/3 = a(5)² + b(5) + c

75a + 15b + 3c = 20

The third point is (6, 5), therefore, we can write,

5 = a(6)² + b(6) + c

36a + 6b + c = 5

Hence, the three system of equations are 9a + 3b + c = 8, 75a + 15b + 3c = 20, and 36a + 6b + c = 5.
