You are watching a game of poker on ESPN with your friends. You are trying to figure out the value of each colored chip that is

being played. Supposed 12 white, 9 red, 8 yellow, 4 blue, and 0 green chips can be exchanged for 2 white, 1 red, 0 yellow, 1 blue and 1 green chip. Also. supposed 1 green= N blue, 1 blue= N yellow, 1 yellow= N red, and 1 red= N white.
what is the whole number rate of exchange for these chips?

is only one exchange rate possible?​

Answer:

  N = 5; only one rate is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of the sets of chips are ...

  12 +9N +8N^2 +4N^3

and

  2 +N +N^3 +N^4

We want to find N such that the difference in value is zero:

  N^4 -3N^3 -8N^2 -8N -10 = 0

A graphing calculator can show us the roots. There is only one positive real root to this equation: N = 5.

The exchange rate N is 5. Only one rate is possible.

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(2,3),B(-4,-3) and C(2,-3) find the coordinates of each point of concurrency.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Circumcenter =(-1,0)

Orthocenter =(2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:  

Given : Points A = (2,3), B = (-4,-3), C = (2,-3)  

Formula used :  

→Mid point of two points- (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

→Slope of two points - \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1})

→Perpendicular of a line = \frac{-1}{slope of line})

Circumcenter- The point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meets.

Orthocenter-The intersecting point for all the altitudes of the triangle.

To find out the circumcenter we have to solve any two bisector equations.

We solve for line AB and AC

So, mid point of AB =(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)

Slope of AB =\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = -1  

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) is,  

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))  

y+x=-1………………(1)  

Similarly, for AC  

Mid point of AC = (\frac{2+2}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(2,0)

Slope of AC = \frac{-3-3}{2-2}=\frac{-6}{0}  

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = 0  

Equation of AC with slope 0 and the coordinates (2,0) is,  

(y – 0) = 0(x – 2)  

y=0 ………………(2)  

By solving equation (1) and (2),  

put y=0 in equation (1)

y+x=-1

0+x=-1

⇒x=-1  

So the circumcenter(P)= (-1,0)

To find the orthocenter we solve the intersections of altitudes.

We solve for line AB and BC

So, mid point of AB =(\frac{2-4}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})=(-1,0)

Slope of AB =\frac{-3-3}{-4-2}=1

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of CF = -1  

Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) gives equation CF  

(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))  

y+x=-1………………(3)  

Similarly, mid point of BC =(\frac{-4+2}{2},\frac{-3-3}{2})=(-1,-3)

Slope of AB =\frac{-3+3}{-4-2}=0

Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.  

So, the slope of AD = 0

Equation of AB with slope 0 and the coordinates (-1,-3) gives equation AD

(y-(-3)) = 0(x – (-1))  

y+3=0

y=-3………………(4)  

Solve equation (3) and (4),

Put y=-3 in equation (3)

y+x=-1

-3+x=-1

x=2

Therefore, orthocenter(O)= (2,-3)
