what are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment (-1,-2) to (9,-10) that partitions the segment into a ratio o
1 answer:
Answer:
[6.5,-7.25]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the partitioning ratio as 3:1
#Find the length of the x-coordinate and multiply by the ratio:
x length=9--1=10
=>
#We subtract 2.5 from the x-max to get the point=9-2.5=6.5
#Find the length of the y-coordinate and multiply by the ratio:
x length=-9--2=-7
=>
#We subtract -1.75 from the y-max to get the point=-9--1.75=-7.25
Hence, the coordinates that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3 to 1 is [6.5,-7.25]

(d) The particle moves in the positive direction when its velocity has a positive sign. You know the particle is at rest when and
, and because the velocity function is continuous, you need only check the sign of
for values on the intervals (0, 3) and (3, 6).
We have, for instance and
, which means the particle is moving the positive direction for
, or the interval (3, 6).
(e) The total distance traveled is obtained by integrating the absolute value of the velocity function over the given interval:
which follows from the definition of absolute value. In particular, if is negative, then
.
The total distance traveled is then 4 ft.
(g) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so is the derivative of
:
Compute the acceleration at seconds:
(In case you need to know, for part (i), the particle is speeding up when the acceleration is positive. So this is done the same way as part (d).)
