Answer:

C. B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A(x,y) = (6,-7), B(x,y) = (x,y) and C(x,y) = (-3,-2). From statement we know that AB = \frac{1}{2}\cdot BC, which is equivalent to the following linear algebraic formula:

B(x,y) -A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [C(x,y)-B(x,y)] (1)

B(x,y)-A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot B(x,y)

\frac{3}{2}\cdot B(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)+A(x,y)

B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot C(x,y) +\frac{2}{3}\cdot A(x,y) (2)

Then, the coordinates of point B on AC are:

B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (-3,-2)+\frac{2}{3}\cdot (6,-7)

B(x,y) = \left(-1, -\frac{2}{3}\right)+\left(4, -\frac{14}{3} \right)

B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)

Which means that correct answer is C.

The circle below is centered at the point (4,3) and has a radius of length 5.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

B. (x-4)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 5^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle is given by

(x-h)^2 + (y-k) ^2 = r^2

where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

We have a center of (4,3) and a radius of 5

(x-4)^2 + (y-3) ^2 = 5^2

Help me please!!! I really need it!
Sati [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of x can be either 5 or 10.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given:

Total profit, P = $5600

The given equation follows:

⇒ P = 600 + 1500x - 100x²

Putting value of P in above equation, we get:

⇒ -100x² + 1500x + 600 = 5600

⇒ -100x² + 1500x - 5000 = 0

⇒ 100x² - 1500x + 5000 = 0

Solving this equation by middle term split, we get:

⇒ 100(x² - 15x + 50) = 0

⇒ (x² - 10x - 5x + 50) = 0

⇒ x(x - 10) - 5(x -10) = 0

⇒ (x - 10)(x - 5) = 0

⇒ x = 10, 5

Hence, the value of x can be either 5 or 10.
