Perhaps the easiest way to find the midpoint between two given points is to average their coordinates: add them up and divide by 2.
A) The midpoint C' of AB is
.. (A +B)/2 = ((0, 0) +(m, n))/2 = ((0 +m)/2, (0 +n)/2) = (m/2, n/2) = C'
The midpoint B' is
.. (A +C)/2 = ((0, 0) +(p, 0))/2 = (p/2, 0) = B'
The midpoint A' is
.. (B +C)/2 = ((m, n) +(p, 0))/2 = ((m+p)/2, n/2) = A'
B) The slope of the line between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by
.. slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using the values for A and A', we have
.. slope = (n/2 -0)/((m+p)/2 -0) = n/(m+p)
C) We know the line goes through A = (0, 0), so we can write the point-slope form of the equation for AA' as
.. y -0 = (n/(m+p))*(x -0)
.. y = n*x/(m+p)
D) To show the point lies on the line, we can substitute its coordinates for x and y and see if we get something that looks true.
.. (x, y) = ((m+p)/3, n/3)
Putting these into our equation, we have
.. n/3 = n*((m+p)/3)/(m+p)
The expression on the right has factors of (m+p) that cancel*, so we end up with
.. n/3 = n/3 . . . . . . . true for any n
_____
* The only constraint is that (m+p) ≠ 0. Since m and p are both in the first quadrant, their sum must be non-zero and this constraint is satisfied.
The purpose of the exercise is to show that all three medians of a triangle intersect in a single point.
Answer: slope is -3 and y-intercept is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
when x= 0, y=-2
when x=1, y=-5
i believe you have just to change the value of the letter x in the equation to find the value of y
Answer:
A = 46
B = 134
C = 78
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluating the given sequence, it is evident that the next number is twice the number prior to it. Thus, the given is a geometric sequence with first term (a1) equal to 1 and common ratio of 2. The geometric series may be calculated by the equation,
Sn = a1 x (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)
where Sn is the sum of n terms in this case, n = 11.
Substituting the known values,
<span> Sn = 1 x (1 - 2^11) / (1 - 2) = 2047
</span>
Thus, S11 is 2047.
