A line segment has endpoints P(-1,5)and Q(5,2) find the coordinate of that trisect the segment​

Mathematics

Answer:

(1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from P to Q, we see that x increases by 6  and y increases by 3.

"Trisect" means "divide into three equal subintervals."

We find (1/3) of 6 (which comes out to 2) and (1/3) of 3 (which comes out to 1).  

Thus, the first junction (between 1st and 2nd trisection) is (-1 + 2, 5 + 1), or (1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

A bus leaves Los Angeles at 8am moving northeast at 60 mph. Three hours later, a truck leaves the same place traveling 1 2/3 tim
love history [14]

Answer:

7.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the variable 't' for time, you can set up an equation to find out how long it will take the truck to catch up to the  bus.  Since the bus is traveling at 60mph and the truck is traveling 1 2/3 times faster, we need to first find the rate of the truck:

1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}

\frac{60}{1}*\frac{5}{3}=\frac{300}{3}=100mph

Using 't' and the knowledge that they will have traveled the same distance we the truck catches up to the bus and the fact that the truck left 3 hours later:

60t = 100(t - 3)  or 60t = 100t - 300

Solve for 't':  60t - 100t = -300 or -40t = -300  so, t = 7.5 hours

Determine the quadratic function of 2,-3/5
Tanzania [10]

I guess you mean that the zeroes are 2 and -3/5.

In factor form the function  could be

f(x) = (x - 2)(3x + 5)

expanding we get

f(x) = 3x^2 -x - 10

What compound inequality describes this graph
nadezda [96]

Answer:

0≥x<4

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's look at this number line.

there is a closed circle at 0 and an open circle at 4. this means that 0 is included (≤ or ≥) and that 4 is not included (< or >).

these are the endpoints, meaning that in this compound inequality, the numbers next to the symbols are 0 and 4.

x is in the middle of this compound inequality.

0    x    4

now, we have to figure out the symbols in between. i wrote out our choices above for each number. the highlighted portion is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 4, so we can write this compound inequality as the following:

0≥x<4

x is greater than or equal to 0, but less than 4
