Answer:

coordinates of its centroid=(-1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given three lines are:

8x+3y=12,                                     (1)

6y-7x=24                                      (2)

and x+9y+33.                               (3)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2 and subtract the equation (2), we get

23x=0⇒x=0,

Putting the value of x=0 in equation (2), we get

6y=24

y=4

Now, multiply the first equation by 3 and subtract the equation (3), we get

23x=69⇒x=3

Putting the value of x=3 in equation (1), we get

24+3y=12

3y=-12

y=-4

Also, multiplying the equation (3) by 7 and add the equation (2), we get

69y=-207

y=-3

Putting the value of y=-3 in equation (2), we get

6(-3)-7x=24

-18-24=7x

x=-6

So the centroid is located at (the average of the three vertices):  

x=\frac{0+3-6}{3}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1 and y=\frac{4-4-3}{3}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1.

Thus, the coordinates of its centroid=(-1,-1)

List the following parabolas from widest to narrowest (would like a fast answer)
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater the magnitude of the leading coefficient, the narrower the parabola.

Widest: f(x) = 0.5x²

Next: f(x) = -x²

Next: f(x) = 2x²

Narrowest: 3x²

Jamal wrote that 9 – 8.4 = 6
iragen [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

9 and 8.4 are less than 1 apart, so 9-8.4 must be less than 1. The actual difference is 9-8.4=0.6 which verifies that our answers are true since 0.6<1.
