(GEOMETRY PLS HELP SERIOUSLY) A treasure map says that a treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock an

d a tree in a 5:9 ratio. Marina traced the map onto a coordinate plane to find the exact location of the treasure.
What are the coordinates of the treasure? If necessary, round the coordinates to the nearest tenth.

A.(11.4, 14.2)

B.(7.6, 8.8)

C.(5.7, 7.5)

D.(10.2, 12.6)

You have coordinates of tree T(16,21) and of rock R(3,2). Let S be a point that denotes treasure. Since treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio, you can state that

\dfrac{\overrightarrow{RS}}{\overrightarrow{ST}}=\dfrac{5}{9}.

Find the coordinates of these vectors:

\overrightarrow{RS}=(x_S-3,y_S-2), \\
\overrightarrow{ST}=(16-x_S,21-y_S).

Then

\dfrac{x_S-3}{16-x_S} =\dfrac{5}{9} and \dfrac{y_S-2}{21-y_S} =\dfrac{5}{9}.

Solve these two equations:

1.

9(x_S-3)=5(16-x_S),\\ 9x_S-27=80-5x_S,\\ 9x_S+5x_S=80+27,\\14x_S=107,\\ \\x_S=\dfrac{107}{14}\approx 7.6.

2.

9(y_S-2)=5(21-y_S),\\9y_S-18=105-5y_S,\\9y_S+5y_S=105+18,\\14y_S=123,\\ \\y_S=\dfrac{123}{14}\approx 8.8.

Answer: the treasure are placed at point (7.6,8.8), so the correct choice is B.

Express the confidence interval 0.319 < p < 0.488 in the form of p ± E.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.4035+/-0.0845

Step-by-step explanation:

The fundamental step would be to determine the values of p and E which i believe is the margin of error in this case. Consider the following two equations;

p-E=0.319\\p+E=0.488

We simply add the two equations and solve for p;

2p=0.807\\p=0.4035

We then substitute this value of p in either equation and solve for E;

0.4035-E=0.319\\E=0.0845

Since we have both p and E, the confidence interval can thus be written as;

0.4035+/-0.0845

Solve for x,<br> -4/5x -3/20<br> x + 1/4x = -70
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

x=100

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify -4/5x-3/20x+1/4x

-7x/10=-70

Multiply both sides of the equation by -10/7.

-10/7*(-7x/10)=-10/7*-70

Simplify both of the equation.

x=100
