Answer:

\left(\displaystyle -\frac{2}{5},\frac{4}{5}\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

The coordinates of the point R are (-6,4) and the coordinates of the point S are (8,-4). We must find the coordinates of a point P(x,y) such that the ratio of segment RP to segment PS is 2/3. Let's find the coordinates separately. In the x-axis:

\displaystyle \frac{-6-x}{x-8}=\frac{2}{3}

Operating and rearranging

-18-3x=2x-16

Solving

\displaystyle x=-\frac{2}{5}

Now for the y-axis

\displaystyle \frac{4-y}{y+4}=\frac{2}{3}

Operating and rearranging

12-3y=2y+8

Solving

\displaystyle y=\frac{4}{5}

Thus, the point that partitions the segment in the ratio 2 to 3 is

\left(\displaystyle -\frac{2}{5},\frac{4}{5}\right)

Determine the first four terms of the sequence in which the nth term is...
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sequence is (n+3)!/ (n+4)!

The first terms uses n=1

a1 = (1+3)!/ (1+4)! = 4!/5! = (4*3*2*1)/(5*4*3*2*1) = 1/5


The first terms uses n=2

a2 = (2+3)!/ (2+4)! = 5!/6! = (5*4*3*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/6


The first terms uses n=3

a3 = (3+3)!/ (3+4)! = 6!/7! = (6*5*4*3*2*1)/(7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/7


The first terms uses n=4

a4 = (4+3)!/ (4+4)! = 7!/8! = (7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/(8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/8
