Answer:

1) The slope of the line segment AB is \frac{4}{3}.

2) The length of the line segment AB is 10.

3) The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB is M(x,y) = (5,7).

4) The slope of a line perpendicular to line segment AB is -\frac{3}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let A(x,y) = (2,3) and B(x,y) = (8,11). From Analytical Geometry, we get that slope of AB (m_{AB}), dimensionless, is determined by the following formula:

m_{AB} = \frac{y_{B}-y_{A}}{x_{B}-x_{A}} (1)

If we know that x_{A} = 2, x_{B} = 8, y_{A} = 3 and y_{B} = 11, the slope of the line segment is:

m_{AB} = \frac{11-3}{8-2}

m_{AB} = \frac{4}{3}

The slope of the line segment AB is \frac{4}{3}.

2) The length of the line segment AB (l_{AB}), dimensionless, can be calculated by the Pythagorean Theorem:

l_{AB} =\sqrt{(x_{B}-x_{A})^{2}+(y_{B}-y_{A})^{2}} (2)

If we know that x_{A} = 2, x_{B} = 8, y_{A} = 3 and y_{B} = 11, the length of the line segment AB is:

l_{AB} = \sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(11-3)^{2}}

l_{AB} = 10

The length of the line segment AB is 10.

3) The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB are, respectively:

x_{M} = \frac{x_{A}+x_{B}}{2} (3)

y_{M} = \frac{y_{A}+y_{B}}{2} (4)

If we know that x_{A} = 2, x_{B} = 8, y_{A} = 3 and y_{B} = 11, the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB are, respectively:

x_{M} = \frac{2+8}{2}

x_{M} = 5

y_{M} = \frac{3+11}{2}

y_{M} = 7

The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB is M(x,y) = (5,7).

4) From Analytical Geometry we can determine the slope of a line perpendicular to line segment AB as a function of the slope of the line segment:

m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{m_{AB}} (5)

If we know that m_{AB} = \frac{4}{3}, then the slope of a line perpendicular to AB is:

m_{\perp} = - \frac{1}{\frac{4}{3} }

m_{\perp} = -\frac{3}{4}

The slope of a line perpendicular to line segment AB is -\frac{3}{4}.

Trinity created a game that uses a card number 1 to 8 and a six sided cube numbered 1 to 6. Each player chooses one card and roa
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Correct option: A -> 1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of having a card with the value greater than six, the options are: 7 and 8. So there are two options in the total of 8, so the probability is P1 = 2 / 8 = 1/4

The cube has 6 numbers, from 1 to 6, so the probability of rolling a six is P2 = 1/6

To find the final probability, we multiply both probabilities, so:

P = P1 * P2 = (1/4) * (1/6) = 1/24

Correct option: A

Find a formula for the described function. an open rectangular box with volume 9 m3 has a square base. express the surface area
Maru [420]

Let

x--------> the length side of the square base

h--------> the height of the box

we know that

<u>the volume of the box is equal to</u>

V=x^{2} *h\\ V=9\ m^{3}

so

x^{2} *h=9\\\\h=\frac{9}{x^{2} }

<u>the surface area of the box is equal to</u>

SA=area\ of\ the\ base+perimeter\ of\ base*height (remember that the box is open)

area of the base=(x^{2})\ m^{2}

Perimeter of the base=(4*x)\ m

height=(h) m

h=\frac{9}{x^{2}}

substitute

SA=x^{2} +4*x*h\\ \\ \\ SA=x^{2} +4*x*\frac{9}{x^{2} } \\ \\ SA=x^{2} +\frac{36}{x}

we know that

the value of x can not be negative and the denominator can not be zero

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the domain of  SA is x> 0

the domain is the interval-------------> (0,∞)

Can anybody help me with my homework please. and explain me how to got the answer. Thanks
natka813 [3]

In the problems A-F, You multiply each of the numbers by itself.  Like 9²=9×9=81

3³=3×3×3=27     6³=6×6×6=216 and so on for the other problems

G-I  is 36=6²  100=10² and so on the cube is the same except you multiply the number three times by itself.  I hope this helped a bit. Just ask if you still don't understand.

Your friend is willing to pay no more than $17.000 on aneu cor.
belka [17]

Answer:

With rare exceptions, cars decrease in value with age. Depending on other factors, like accidents, repairs, or other damage, the value of a car may decrease even faster. If you borrowed money to buy a car, you might owe more on your car loan than its current value. When that happens, you have negative equity in the car. Some car dealers say you won’t be responsible for the remaining balance on your old car loan when you trade in your old car. But that might not be true. Dealers sometimes just roll over the negative equity into your new car loan, so you still end up paying it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Say you want to trade in your car for a newer model.

Your loan payoff is $18,000

Your car is worth $15,000

You have negative equity of $3,000. That must be paid if you want to trade in your vehicle. If the dealer promises to pay off the $3,000, it shouldn’t be included in your new loan.

But some dealers

add that $3,000 to the loan for your new car

subtract the amount from your down payment

or do both

Use the three steps to solve the problem.
Flauer [41]

The two numbers are 8,13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

smaller number = x

Larger number = x+5

According to given statement;

Smaller number + Bigger number = 3x-3

x+(x+5)=3x-3\\x+x+5=3x-3\\2x+5+3=3x\\8 = 3x-2x\\8=x\\x=8

Smaller number = 8

Larger number = 8+5 = 13

The two numbers are 8,13.
