Answer:

A = (-1,5) or  (-1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (-1,y)    B = (2,1)

 

(Distance from A to B) = √[(-1-2)² + (y-1)²] = 5

                                    =√[9 + y² - 2y + 1] = 5

Squaring on both sides

                                     =  y² - 2y + 10 = 25

                                       =y² - 2y -15 = 0

                                      = (y-5)(y+3) = 0

                                         y = 5 or -3

Therefore, A = (-1,5) or  (-1,-3)

Answer:

(-1, 5)

(-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that coordinates of point B = (2,1) this means, x2 = 2 & y2 = 1.

The x coordinate of point A = -1

D = 5 units

Let's use the equation for distance between points, it is expressed as:

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}

5 = \sqrt{(-1-2)^2 + (a-1)^2}

Solving further, let's square both sides,

5^2 = [\sqrt{(-1-2)^2 + (a-1)^2}]^2

25 = (-1-2)^2 + (a-1)^2

25 = 9 + (a-1)^2

Solving further, we have:

25 - 9 = (a-1)^2

16 = (a-1)^2

+/- \sqrt{16} = a-1

+/-4 = a - 1

For the possible values, we have:

a = 4+1 = 5

a = - 4 + 1 = -3

Therefore, the possible coordinates of point​ A are:

(-1, 5)

(-1, -3)

Simplify the expression. 12x^-6 y^10 times 3x^7 y
Vlada [557]

We need to simplify the expression:

12x^{-6}y^{10} \times (3x^{7}y)

Now, we know that we can resolve the exponents of the variables with the like terms only and we can multiply the coefficients independently:

Now,  

12x^{-6}y^{10} \times 3x^{7}y=(12 \times 3)\times (x^{-6}\times x^{7})\times (y^{10}\times y)

On simplifying the above expression we get:

36\times x^{(-6+7)}\times y^{(10+1)}

=36 \times x^{1}\times y^{11}

=36 \times x \times y^{11}

=36xy^{11}

So the simplified form of the expression 12x^{-6}y^{10} \times 3x^{7}y=36xy^{11}.

I only have a picture so you get a better image
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

(15,16)

Step-by-step explanation:

C=halfway between A to B

A to B on the x axis goes across by 24

24/2 =12

3+12=15

A to B on the y axis goes up by 28

28/2 = 14

2+14=16
