Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the game plan. In order to find a point on the x-axis that makes AC = BC, we need to find the midpoint of AB and the slope of AB. From there, we can find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to AB so we can then fit a 0 in for y and solve for x. This final coordinate will be the answer you're looking for. First and foremost, the midpoint of AB:

and

Now for the slope of AB:

and

 So if the slope of AB is 1/3, then the slope of a line perpendicular to that line is -3. What we are finding now is the equation of the line perpendicular to AB and going through (0, 3):

and filling in:

y - 3 = -3(x - 0) and

y - 3 = -3x + 0 and

y - 3 = -3x so

y = -3x + 3. Filling in a 0 for y will give us the coordinate we want for the x-intercept (the point where this line goes through the x-axis):

0 = -3x + 3 and

-3 = -3x so

x = 1

The coordinate on the x-axis such that AC = BC is (1, 0)

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the leg in the triangle shown below.
Natali [406]
The answer to what the length of the leg would be is 15.

You would do this problem by first writing down your Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Since we have our hypotenuse which is c^2 in our equation, we would write or insert the number we have.

So our equation could be that a or b leg equals 20, it doesn’t matter which one.

So we could write, 20^2 + b^2 = 25^2. So we don’t know what b leg is.

First we should figure out what 20^2 is and what 25^2 is.

20^2 is 400 and 25^2 is 625.

Our equation now comes to 400 + b^2 = 625.

Now we take 400 and subtract it from
625 -> 400 + b^2 = 625
-400.

So 625 - 400 comes out to be 225.

Lastly instead of squaring or putting 225 to the second power, we do the opposite.

So instead of squaring 225 we must square root 225. √ 225 .

The square root of √ 225 comes out to be 15.

If p(x) = 3x – 2and n (x) = 2x – 5, what is the value of (n/p) (1)?
Liula [17]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want (n/p)(1).  We can obtain this by finding n(1) and p(1) and then dividing as indicated:

p(1) = 3(1) - 2 = 1

n(1) = 2(1) - 5 = -3

Then   (n/p) (1) = -3/1, or just -3
