Answer:
BM: <u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> with segment length of 2.77
Step-by-step explanation:
AC formula: m = (6-0)/(0-4) = -3/2
(y-0)/(x-4) = -3/2 y = (-3/2)x + 6 ... (1)
BM slope: BM⊥ AC m = 2/3
BM formula: (y-4) / (x- -2) = (y-4) / (x+2) = 2/3
y-4 = 2/3 x + 4/3
<u>y = (2/3) x + 16/3</u> ... (2) -2≤x≤0.31
intercept of AC and BM (M) from (1) and (2): (-3/2)x + 6 = (2/3) x + 16/3
(13/6) x = 2/3 x = (2/3) / (13/6) = 4/13 ≈ 0.31
y = (2/3) (4/13) + (16/3) = (8/39) + (208/39) = 216/39 = 72/13 ≈ 5.54
M (4/13 , 72/13) or (0.31 , 5.54)
segment BM = √(4/13 - -2)² + (72/13 - 4)² = √1300/169 = 2.77
We notice it diviides by 3 each time or multiplies by 1/3
common ratio is 1/3
first term is 648
so next 3 terms are 8, 8/3, and 8/9
rule is an=648(1/3)^(n-1)
The problem presented with the word used as "divied" is very tricky and misleading to the point that it might create an understanding.
So we will approach this is in two ways.
If this was meant to be "divided by" then it would look like this:
6 / 192
If this was meant to be "divided to" then it would look like this:
192 / 6
Let us first solve for the first possible problem:
6 / 192 = ?
0.0312
0.0312 would be the answer.
Let us then solve for the second possible problem:
192 / 6 = ?
32 = ?
32 would be the answer.
So 0.0312 and 32 would be two possible answers to this problem.
