What is segment ab? is there a picture that is supposed to go with it?

inysia [295]3 years ago

Answer:  The required co-ordinates of point M are (8, 9).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the point M divides segment AB into a ratio of 2 : 3, where A is at (0, 15) and B is at (20, 0).

We are to find the co-ordinates of point M.

We know that

the co-ordinates of a point that divides the line segment joining the points (a, b) and (c, d) are given by

\left(\dfrac{mc+na}{m+n},\dfrac{md+nb}{m+n}\right).

For the given division, (a, b) = (0, 15), (c, d) = (20, 0) and m : n = 2 : 3.

Therefore, the co-ordinates of point M are given by

\left(\dfrac{2\times20+3\times0}{2+3},\dfrac{2\times0+3\times15}{2+3}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{40}{5},\dfrac{45}{5}\right)\\\\\\=\left(8,9).

Thus, the required co-ordinates of point M are (8, 9).

Why are the equations w - x x = w and w x - x = w called identities?
saveliy_v [14]
They are called identities because:
w-x = 0 
w = x (carry x to the other side) is the same as x = w

in the other case:
wx-x = w / divide by w on both side
x -x = 0
x = x (carry x to the other side)

In both cases the equations are the same.

Evaluate the given equation for the indicated function values. pls help
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The answer in each numeral is:

  1. <u>f(4) = 28</u>
  2. <u>f(10) = -19</u>
  3. <u>f(-5) = -33</u>
  4. <u>f(9) = -9</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the result in each case, you must replace the variable (n) by the value that appears in the second case, I'll explain it with the first exercise:

  • 1. f(n) = 5n + 8
  •   f(4) = ?

As you can see, in the second doesn't appear f(n), but f(4), that means you must replace the "n" in the equation by 4, if we do this, we obtain:

  • 1. f(4) = 5*(4) + 8
  • f(4) = 20 + 8
  • <u>f(4) = 28</u>

The first answer is 28, now we'll continue with the next exercises:

  • 2. f(n) = -2n + 1
  • f(10) = -2*(10) + 1
  • f(10) = -20 + 1
  • <u>f(10) = -19</u>

  • 3. f(n) = 6n - 3
  • f(-5) = 6*(-5) - 3
  • f(-5) = -30 - 3
  • <u>f(-5) = -33</u>

  • 4. f(n) = -n
  • <u>f(9) = -9</u>

In this form, <u><em>you can prove the answers are: 28, -19, -33, and -9 respectively</em></u>.

Convert €3.2 per kilogram to unit price dollars per pound
MatroZZZ [7]

We get 1.45 dollars per pound when we convert 3.2 Euros per kilogram to dollar per pound.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

3.2 Euros per kilogram

We need to convert its units into dollars per pounds.

We know that 1 Euro is approximately equal to 1 US dollar and 1 kilogram of weight is equal to 2.205 pounds.

(Note that there are various conversions from Euro to dollars which have 1 Euro equal to 1.00755 and many other values. In this case, we have rounded it off to 1 to avoid any confusion.)

(We know that per means the unit given is in divide.)

So, we have:

(3.2*1)/(1*2.205)

3.2/2.205

1.45 dollar per pounds

Hence, the conversion to dollars per pounds is 1.45 dollar per ponds from Euros per kilogram.

Are the two events independent or dependent? Pick a name from a hat, keep it, then pick another name .
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Dependent.

Step-by-step explanation:

You did not return the name into the hat, so there is technically a "higher" probability to obtain the next name.

For example, if there were 5 names inside the hat, each one technically would have a 20% chance of obtaining a name.

If you did not return the name into the hat, there would only be 4 names left, which means that it would increase to a 25% chance of obtaining a name that is still inside the name.

The chance of obtaining the other name's chance, therefore, is dependent on the first one being taken out.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

-3 -2.5 -1 2 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this you can look on a number line or you could look at the numbers carefully and the biggest number with a minus is what you start with and end it with a positive number.
