1) C (9,-3.5)

2) C (17,-1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

To solve this problem, we must divide the segment AB into 8 equal intervals, and then find the point sitting at 3/8 of the whole segment.

The end points of the segment in this problem are:

A(3,-5)

and

B(19,-1)

This means that the x- and y-coordinates of point C are given by the equations:

x_c=x_a + 3\frac{x_b-x_a}{8}\\y_c=y_a+3\frac{y_b-y_a}{8}

And substituting the values of the coordinates of A and B, we find:

x_c = x_a + 3 \frac{19-3}{8}=3+3\cdot 2 =9\\y_x = y_a + 3 \frac{-1-(-5)}{8}=-5+3\cdot 0.5 =-3.5

2)

In this problem, we want to find the coordinates of point C such that:

\frac{CB}{AC}=\frac{1}{7} (1)

As before, the coordinates of the endpoints of the segment AB are:

A(3,-5)

and

B(19,-1)

We can call the coordinates of point C as follows:

C(x_c,y_c)

To satisfy eq.(1) for the x-coordinate, we have:

\frac{x_b-x_c}{x_c-x_a}=\frac{1}{7}

Therefore, by substitution we find:

\frac{19-x_c}{x_c-3}=\frac{1}{7}\\7(19-x_c)=x_c-3\\8x_c=136 \rightarrow x_c = 17

Similarly on the y-coordinate we find:

\frac{y_b-y_c}{y_c-y_a}=\frac{1}{7}

And solving we get:

\frac{-1-y_c}{y_c-(-5)}=\frac{1}{7}\\7(-1-y_c)=y_c+5\\8y_c=-12 \rightarrow y_c = -1.5

Given that cos (x) = 1/3, find sin (90 - x)
ddd [48]

Answer:

\sin(90^{\circ} - x)=\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: \cos (x)=\frac{1}{3}

We have to find the value of \sin(90^{\circ} - x)

Since Given \cos (x)=\frac{1}{3}

Using trigonometric identity,

\sin(90^{\circ} - \theta)=\cos\theta

Thus, for  \sin(90^{\circ} - x) comparing , we have,

\theta=x

We get,

\sin(90^{\circ} - x)=\cos x=\frac{1}{3}

Thus, \sin(90^{\circ} - x)=\frac{1}{3}
