Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • We have A small radio transmitter that broadcasts in a 69-mile radius. If you drive along a straight line from a city 93 miles north of the transmitter to a second city 78 miles east of the transmitter.

Thus,

The distance that you get reception is the length of the chord created by the intersection of the circle defining the edge of transmission and the line defining the car trip.

  •  x2 + y2 = 69²               this is the circle

And,

The Transmitter at the origin

City to the north at (0,93)  & City to the east at (78,0)  

the Slope is M=(-93/78)

Intercept is B= y - mx ⇒  93 - (-93/78)(0) = 93

The equation of the line between the cities is y = (-93/78)x + 93

  • y = -93x/78 + 93           this is the line

Now, Solve the above two Equations

The intersection is gotten from the picture or solving:

x^2 + [(-93/78)*x + 93]^2 = 69^2

  • on solving we get, the points approximately are: (67.952,11.98 ) and (23.6277, 64.82)

Now,

From the Pythagorean theorem the total distance of the trip is:  

d1 = √(93^2 + 78^2) ≈ 121.37miles  

And the distance when the signal is picked up is:

d2 =√ [(67.952-23.627)^2 + (64.82 - 11.98)^2] ≈ 68.96 miles

You will pick up a signal from the transmitter in (d2/d1)*100 = 56% of the drive.

Anika [276]
We see from the attached, that kite area = product of the diagonals / 2
The diagonals could be 12 by 8 or
6 by 16 or
3 by 32, etc
It cannot be narrowed down any further.

Find the coordinates of the point 7/10 of the way from A to B. a=(-3,-6) b=(12,4)
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The coordinates of M are x = \frac{15}{2} and y = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be A = (-3,-6) and B = (12, 4) endpoints of segment AB and M a point located 7/10 the way from A to B. Vectorially, we get this formula:

\overrightarrow {AM} = \frac{7}{10}\cdot \overrightarrow {AB}

\vec M - \vec A = \frac{7}{10}\cdot (\vec B - \vec A)

By Linear Algebra we get the location of M:

\vec M = \vec A + \frac{7}{10}\cdot (\vec B - \vec A)

\vec M = \vec A +\frac{7}{10}\cdot \vec B - \frac{7}{10}\cdot \vec A

\vec M = \frac{3}{10}\cdot \vec A + \frac{7}{10}\cdot  \vec B

If we know that \vec A = (-3,-6) and \vec B = (12, 4), then:

\vec M = \frac{3}{10}\cdot (-3,-6)+\frac{7}{10}\cdot (12,4)

\vec M = \left(-\frac{9}{10},-\frac{9}{5}  \right)+\left(\frac{42}{5} ,\frac{14}{5} \right)

\vec M =\left(-\frac{9}{10}+\frac{42}{5} ,-\frac{9}{5}+\frac{14}{5}   \right)

\vec M = \left(\frac{15}{2} ,1\right)

The coordinates of M are x = \frac{15}{2} and y = 1.
