Answer:

Hence the orthocenter is (-2,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the Orthocenter of ΔABC with vertices A(0,10) , B(4,10) and C(-2,4).

" Orthocenter of a triangle is a point of intersection, where three altitudes of a triangle connect ".

Step 1 :  Find the perpendicular slopes of any two sides of the triangle.  

Step 2 : Then by using point slope form, calculate the equation for those two altitudes with their respective coordinates.

Step 1 :  Given coordinates are: A(0,10) , B(4,10) and C(-2,4)

Slope of BC = \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}= \dfrac{4-10}{-2-4}=\dfrac{-6}{-6}=1

Perpendicular Slope of BC = -1

( since for two perpendicular lines the slope is given as: m_{1}\times m_{2}=-1

where  m_{1},m_{2} are the slope of the two lines. )

Slope of AC = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{4-10}{-2-0}=\dfrac{-6}{-2}=3

Perpendicular Slope of AC= \dfrac{-1}{3}

Step 2 :  Equation of AD, slope(m) = -1 and point A = (0,10)


y - y_{1} = m\times (x-x_{1})

y - 10 = -1(x - 0)\\y - 10 = -x \\x + y = 10---------------(1)

Equation of BE, slope(m) =\dfrac{-1}{3} and point B = (4,10)


y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y - 10= \dfrac{-1}{3} \times (x - 4)


3y-30=-x+4

x+3y =34----------(2)

Solving equations (1) and (2), we get

(x, y) = (-2,12)

Hence, the orthocenter is (-2,12).

A dessert has both fruit and yoghurt inside.
Rudiy27

note: f=fruit

y=yoghurt

2:3

f : y

f/y=2/3

=> 3*f=2*y

f=(2*y)/3

we know that f+y=185g

(2*y)/3+y=185g

(2*y+3*y)/3=185g

5*y/3=185

y=(185*3)/5

y=111g

=>the mass of the yoghurt is 111 g

Solve for x in the equation.
labwork [276]

Answer:

The solution is \displaystyle x=1\pm \sqrt{47}. Fourth option

Explanation:

Solve for x:

2x^2+3x-7=x^2+5x+39

Move all the terms from the right to the left side of the equation, a zero in the right side:

2x^2+3x-7-x^2-5x-39=0

Join all like terms:

x^2-2x-46=0

The general form of the quadratic equation is:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Solve the quadratic equation by using the formula:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In our equation: a=1, b=-2, c=-46

Substituting into the formula:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(-46)}}{2(1)}

\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4+184}}{2}

\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{188}}{2}

Since 188=4*47

\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4*47}}{2}

Take the square root of 4:

\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm 2\sqrt{47}}{2}

Divide by 2:

\displaystyle x=1\pm \sqrt{47}

First option: Incorrect. The answer does not match

Second option: Incorrect. The answer does not match

Third option: Incorrect. The answer does not match

Fourth option: Correct. The answer matches exactly this option

You have read 4 of the books shown. Which choice shows 2 ways of writing the fraction of these books that you read?
Olegator [25]
  • Total books read: 4
  • Total books in list: 12

So it can be shown as:

\sf \dfrac{read \ books}{total \ books \ in \ list}

\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{4}{12}

on simplifying

\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{1}{3}

So, option 1 is correct.
