Answer:

C ( 11 , -11 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

We are given two points in the cartesian coordinate system as:

                   A ( 3 , -5 )              B ( 13 , -15 )

The point C lies on the line segment from A to B. The ratio of segment given is:

                              AC / AB = 4 / 5

To solve such type of problems. We will use vector equation of line AC.

To form a vector equation of line representing AB. We will first determine the direction vector ( d ) that is parallel to the line AB as follows:

                 d = OB - OA

                 d = < 13 , -15 > - < 3 , -5 >  

                 d = < 10 , -10 >

The fixed point on the line is taken. We will take point A. The vector equation of line from point A to point B is expressed as:

                < x , y > = OA + s*d

                < x , y > = < 3, -5 > + s* < 10 , -10 >  

The above equation satisfies all the points that lies on the line AB. To determine the coordinates of ( C ). We will plug in the appropriate value of parameter ( s ) and evaluate.

So point C is 4/5 th the magnitude of the distance AB from A. Hence, s = 4/5 as follows:

               < x , y > = < 3 , -5 > + ( 4/5 ) * < 10 , -10 >  

               < x , y > = < 3 , -5 > + < 8 , -8 >  

              < x , y > = < 11 , -11 >   ... Answer

Maria has decided to invest to help with her retirement savings. How much would she have to invest to have $113,400 after 20 yea
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$56,226

Step-by-step explanation:

x = investment

Earning interest of 3.57% is the equivalent of multiplying the initial balance (investment) by 1.0357;

Over 20 years, the new balance can be found by multiplying the initial balance by (1.0357)²⁰;

We can formulate an equation to solve to get the initial investment:

x(1.0357)²⁰ = 113400

(2.01687752)x = 113400

x = ¹¹³⁴⁰⁰/₍₂.₀₁₆...₎

x = 56225.5263 → 56226

If an image of a triangle is congruent to the pre image then the scale factor of the dilation must be n=
Kazeer [188]
1. the image is multiplied by the scale factor. if the scale factor is 2, the image is twice the size of the preimage. if the scale factor is ⅓, the image is one third the size. only a scale factor of 1 preserves congruency
