Mathematics

The coordinates of point P are: (1/5 , -12/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

R(-3,-4) = (x1,y1)

S(5,0) = (x2,y2)

The ratio is: 2:3

The coordinates of a point that divides the line in ratio m:n are given by:

Let P be the point then

$(x_P, y_P) = (\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})$

Putting values

$(x_P, y_P) = (\frac{(2)(5)+(3)(-3)}{2+3},\frac{(2)(0)+(3)(-4)}{2+3})\\= (\frac{10-9}{5},\frac{0-12}{5})\\=(\frac{1}{5},\frac{-12}{5})$

Hence,

The coordinates of point P are: (1/5 , -12/5)

Can someone please help me with this asap ... Please and thank you

OLga [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given in the picture,

a). Since, NR bisects a straight angle ∠MNP,

∠MNR ≅ ∠PNR

m∠MNR + m∠PNR = 180°

2(m∠MNR) = 180°

m∠MNR = 90°

Therefore, ∠MNR and ∠PNR are the right angles.

Since, QN divides ∠MNR in two parts,

Therefore, ∠QNR will be an acute angle (less than 90°).

∠MNR + ∠SNR = ∠MNS

90° + ∠SNR = ∠MNS

Therefore, m∠MNS will be more than 90°.

∠MNS will be an obtuse angle (greater than 90°).

(b). Since, NR divides ∠MNP and ∠QNS,

∠MNR ≅ ∠PNR

∠QNR ≅ ∠SNR

∠MNQ ≅ ∠PNS

(c). m∠MNR = 90°

Since, NR bisects ∠QNS,

∠QNR ≅ ∠RNS

m∠QNR = m∠RNS = 30°

m∠QNR + m∠RNS = 30° + 30°

m∠QNR + m∠RNS = 60°

m∠QNS = 60° [Since, m∠QNS = m∠QNR + m∠RNS]

m∠QNP = m∠QNS + m∠SNP

m∠QNP = m∠QNS + (m∠PNR - m∠SNR)

m∠QNP = 60° + (90° - 30°) = 120°

The power, P (watts) , of a car engine is proportional to the square of its speed, s ( m / s ) . When s = 30 , P = 1260 . Work o

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

875 Watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

P α s²

P = ks²

Where k is the proportionality constant

When ; p = 1260 ; s = 30

1260 = k * 30²

1260 = 900k

k = 1260 / 900

k = 1.4

Value of p ; when s = 25

P = 1.4 * s²

P = 1.4 * 25²

P = 1.4 * 625

P = 875 watt

PLEASE HELP

First, we find x using the given equation:
x = 4 / sin(53)
x = 5

We also know that:
Cos(∅) = base / hypotenuse
Therefore,
cos(53°) = y / 5
