Answer:

  (6.2, 4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want, for some point P, ...

  (P -A) / (B -P) = 1 / 3

  3(P -A) = (B - P) . . . . . multiply by 3

  4P = B +3A . . . . . . . . add P+3A

  P = (B +3A)/4 . . . . . . .divide by 4

Filling in the coordinate values, we can find P to be ...

  P = ((2.3, 5.4) +3(7.5, 4.2))/4 = (2.3+22.5, 5.4+12.6)/4

  P = (6.2, 4.5)

The Jaxon High School prom committee has 100 thumb drives to sell in a fundraiser. The function f(x) = 8x – 200 models their inc
Alina [70]

Answer:

25 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the equation we see that the thumb drives cost $200 which is why that is being subtracted. To calculate the break-even number of sales we need to make a total of 200 to cover the costs. We calculate this by matching the equation to 0 and solving for x...

0 = 8x - 200  ... add 200 on both sides

200 = 8x   ... divide both sides by 8

25 = x

Finally, we can see that the committee will break even after selling 25 thumb drives which would make them $200 to cover all of their costs.

Determine if the sequence is arithmetic. If it is, find the term named in the problem.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a_{39} <em>= 279</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1)d

d = a_{2} - a_{1}

~~~~~~~~~

d = - 17 + 25 = - 9 + 17 = - 1 + 9 = 8

a_{39} = - 25 + 8(39 - 1) = 279

a_{39} <em>= 279</em><em> </em>

A cylindrical package to be sent by a postal service can have a maximum combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross section)
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

radius r = 47/π in

length l = 23.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us recall that:

Volume of a cylinder = \pi r^2 h --- (1)

The girth g = 2 \pi r + h      ----- (2)

Given that:

height (h) + girth (g) = 141

Then g = 141 - h   ----- (3)

Equating equation (2) and (3), we have:

141 - h = 2πr + h

2h = 141 - 2πr

h = 70.5 - πr      ------ (4)

From, here now, we can now replace the value of h into equation (1)

i.e.

V = πr²(70.5 - πr)

V = 70.5πr² -  π²r³

Taking the differential of the above equation with respect to r, we have:

\dfrac{dv}{dr} = 141 \pi r- 3\pi ^2 r^2

By further differentiation:

\dfrac{d^2v}{dr^2} = 141 \pi - 6\pi ^2 r

Let set \dfrac{dv}{dr}= 0, Then:

141πr - 3π²r² = 0

141πr = 3π²r²

Divide both sides by πr

141 = 3πr

r = 141/3π

r = 47/π in

Replacing the value of r = 47/π into equation (4), we have:

h = 70.5 - πr

h = 70.5 - π(47/π)

h = 70.5 - 47

h = 23.5 in

From equation (3);

h + g = 141

23.5 + g = 141

g = 141 - 23.5

g = 117.5 in

Volume = πr²h

V = π × (47/π )² × 23.5

V = 16523.94 in³
