Answer:
(c) (3, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point E partitions both the x-distance and the y-distance in the ratio 2 : 1. That is, for either the x-coordinates or the y-coordinates, ...
CE : ED = 2 : 1
Try the answers with the x-coordinates.
CE : ED = (1 -(-1)) : (5 - 1) = 2 : 4 . . . . incorrect
CE : ED = (-3 -(-1)) : (5 -(-3)) = -2 : 8 . . . . incorrect
CE : ED = (3 -(-1)) : (5 -3) = 4 : 2 = 2 : 1 . . . . correct
CE : ED = (-1 -(-1)) : (5 -(-1)) = 0 : 6 . . . . incorrect
The only viable choice is (3, 3).
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
For a partitioning of m : n, the desired point is ...
E = (n×C +m×D)/(m+n)
For partitioning of 2 : 1, the desired point is ...
E = (1×(-1, -3) + 2×(5, 6))/(2+1) = (-1+10, -3 +12)/3
E = (3, 3)
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x = 32 - x2 would be much clearer if written as 4x = 32 - x^2. Please use
" ^ " to indicate exponentiation.
Rewrite 4x = 32 - x^2 in the standard form of a quadratic: x^2 + 4x - 32
Then the coefficients are a = 1, b = 4 and c = -32.
Find the discriminant. It is b^2-4ac.
Here, b^2-4ac = 4^2 - 4(1)(-32), or 16 + 128, or 144.
Because the discriminant is positive, we know immediately that this quadratic has two real, unequal roots.
So, the answer to this question is "the graph of 4x = 32 - x^2 cross the x-axis in two places."
Answer: 3.5
Step-by-step explanation: Because the 4 and 1 aren’t big enough to change the 5 to go up the final answer would be 3.5 but if the 4 were to be a 5 or a number higher than the 5 would change to a 6.
Answer
a decrease of 0.2 gallons per second
Explanation
The drain was open for 30 seconds.
The water that ran out for 30 seconds = 20 - 14
= 6 gallons
Rate of decrease = (change in gallons)/(time taken)
= 6/30
= 0.2
The rate of change in the amount of water remaining in the tub per second will be the same as the one that ran out since the outlet is the same.
So the correct answer from the choices is "a decrease of 0.2 gallons per second".
