Answer:
S(-2, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached below,=. Frim the diagram, the coordinate of R and T are (-5, 3) and (-1, -5) respectively. If the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, the coordinate of S can be gotten using the midpoint segment formula as shown;
S(X, Y) = {(ax1+bx2/a+b), (ay1+by1/a+b)} where;
x1 = -5, y1 = 3, x2 = -1, y2 = -5, a = 3 and b =1
Substitute the values into the formula;
X = ax2+bx1/a+b
X = 3(-1)+1(-5)/3+1
X = -3-5/4
X = -8/4
X = -2
Similarly;
Y = ay2+by1/a+b
Y = 3(-5)+1(3)/3+1
Y = -15+3/4
Y = -12/4
Y = -3
Hence the coordinate of the point (X, Y) is (-2, -3)
Answer: $628
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form using the method of completing the square.
Given
f(x) = 3x² - 24x + 10
We require the coefficient of the x² term to be 1 , thus factor out 3
3(x² - 8x) + 10
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 8x
= 3(x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16) + 10
= 3(x - 4)² + (3 × - 16) + 10
= 3(x - 4)² - 48 + 10
= 3(x - 4)² - 38, thus
f(x) = 3(x - 4)² - 38 ← in vertex form
The pair of equations:
y = x + 4
y = -2x - 2
To solve the system of equation by substitution, you would substitute one variable for it's equivalent expression. Combining the pair of equations into one equation in only one variable. The easiest way to do this is by substituting out the variable y because it is already alone on one side of the equal sign. Substitute the y in the second equation for: x+4
x+4 = -2x - 2
solve for x
x + 2x = -2 -4
3x = -6
x = -2
now use the value for x to find y by putting into either equation.
y = x + 4
y = (-2) + 4
y = 2
solution is: (-2, 2)
