Answer:

(–2.2, –1.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

o divide the segment into a 3:2 ratio, we need to divide the segment into five identical parts, and find the point that divides the segment into 3/5 and 2/5. To do this we have to calculate the distance between the two points of the segment, in x and y, we can do this by just subtracting the two "y" coordinates and the two "x" coordinates:

Δy=║-4-3║=7

Δx=║-1-(-4)║=3

Then we divide those differences by 5.

7/5=1.4

3/5=0.6

and now, we multiply those results by 3 and subtract them or add them from the coordinates of the point G (subtract them from the coordinate y and add it to the coordinate x, because we are moving down and right).

Px=-4+3*0.6=-2.2

Py=3-3*1.4=-1.2

so the coordinates of the point we are looking for (which I called "P") are:

P(-2.2, -1.2).

For what values of y does the binomial 5y−7 belong to the interval (−5, 13)?
maw [93]
Answer: y should be in the interval (0.4, 4)

Explanation: 

The binomial 5y - 7 is in the interval (-5, 13) if and only if 

-5 < 5y - 7 < 13

Solving the inequalities in this form is the same as solving equation. So, we add all sides of the inequalities by 7 so that

2 < 5y < 20

Then, we divide both sides by 5 to get the following inequalities

0.4 < y < 4

Hence y should be in the open interval (0.4, 4).

flying with wind, a small plane flew 410 mi in 2 h. Flying against the wind, the plane could fly only 380 mi in the same amount
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

197.5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

If flying with wind a small plane flew at 410 miles and 380 miles then the next step is to divide both speeds by two. This way you get the mph. So now it is 205 mph and 190 mph. Now we find the average of these two numbers and you get 197.5 mph.
