Answer:

k = 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Segments AB and AC are on the same line, so have the same slope. Using the slope formula, we have ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

(3 -7)/(8 -0) = (k -7)/(3k -0)

Multiplying by 6k gives ...

-3k = 2(k -7)

-5k = -14 . . . . . . subtract 2k

k = 14/5 = 2.8 . . . . divide by -5

Answer:

k=14/5

Problem:

Three points have coordinates A (0 , 7) , B (8 , 3) and C (3k , k)

Find the value of the constant k for which C lies on the line that passes through A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line containing points (a,b) and (c,d) is found by computing (b-d)/(a-c). This is just the change in y divided by the change in x.

The slope of a line containing points (0,7) and (8,3) is (7-3)/(0-8)=4/-8=-1/2.

The slope of a line containing points (0,7) and (3k,k) and (8,3) is still -1/2 because it doesn't matter what two points on a line you use to calculate the slope. The slope will remain the same no matter the pair of points on the line you choose for it's calculation.

So lets pretend the question is now find the point (3k,k) such that a line with slope -1/2 goes through (3k,k) and (0,7).

We want to solve the equation:

(k-7)/(3k-0)=-1/2

Simplify denominator

(k-7)/(3k)=-1/2

Cross multiple

(k-7)(2)=(-1)(3k)

Distribute or multiply

2k-14=-3k

Subtract 2k on both sides

-14=-5k

Divide both sufes by -5

-14/-5=k

Simplifying fraction

14/5=k

Write the expression for when you translate the graph of y = |3x− 5| one unit to the right. Plzz help

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

2<x<4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of a graph to be y = |3x− 5|, if the equation is one unit to the right, this can be expressed as |3x-5| > 1.

Solving the resulting equation

|3x-5| > 1.

Since the function 3x-5 is in a modulus sign, this means that the function can take both negative and positive values.

For positive value of the function;

+(3x-5) > 1

3x > 1+5

3x>6

x>6/3

x>2 ... (1)

For the negative value of the function;

-(3x-5) > 1

On expansion

-3x+5 > 1

-3x > 1-5

-3x > -4

Multiplying through by -1 will also change the inequality sign

x < -4/-3

x < 4/3...(2)

Combining equation 1 and 2, we have;

2<x<4/3

The volume of a cylinder is 4 pi x3 cubic units and its height is x units.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

$2x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder, $V$ is given by the formula,

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

Where, $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height of the cylinder.

Here, $V=4\pi x^{3}$ , $h=x$ . Plug in these values and solve for radius, $r$ .

This gives,

$V=\pi r^{2}h\\4\pi x^{3}=\pi r^{2}x\\r^{2}=\frac{4\pi x^{3}}{\pi x}\\r^{2}=4x^{2}\\$

Taking square root both sides, we get

$\sqrt{r^{2}}=\sqrt{4x^{2}}\\r=2x$

Therefore, the radius of the cylinder can be expressed as $2x$ .

A mosaic at the art museum is divided into 6 sections that each contain about the same number of tiles. There are 2,889 tiles to

AlexFokin [52]

Answer

Find out the how many tiles are in each section .

To prove

Let us assume that the number of tiles are in section are be x.

As given

A mosaic at the art museum is divided into 6 sections that each contain about the same number of tiles.

There are 2,889 tiles total in the mosiac .

Than the equation becomes

6 × x = 2889

$x = \frac{2889}{6}$

x = 481.5

Therefore the total number of tiles in each sections are 481.5 .
