Answer:

S(-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached below,=. Frim the diagram, the coordinate of R and T are (-5, 3) and (-1, -5) respectively. If the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, the coordinate of S can be gotten using the midpoint segment formula as shown;

S(X, Y) = {(ax1+bx2/a+b), (ay1+by1/a+b)} where;

x1 = -5, y1 = 3, x2 = -1, y2 = -5, a = 3 and b =1

Substitute the values into the formula;

X = ax2+bx1/a+b

X = 3(-1)+1(-5)/3+1

X = -3-5/4

X = -8/4

X = -2

Similarly;

Y = ay2+by1/a+b

Y = 3(-5)+1(3)/3+1

Y = -15+3/4

Y = -12/4

Y = -3

Hence the coordinate of the point (X, Y) is (-2, -3)

What are the zeros of f(x) = x2 + 3x – 10?
Nady [450]
Step One
Factor f(x)
f(x) = (x + 5)(x - 2)

Step Two
The zeros occur when either (x + 5) = 0 or (x - 2) = 0

x + 5 = 0
x = -5

x - 2 =0
x = 2

Step 3
Record the zeros

Gary earned a gross pay of $1,047.30 last week. Using the fact that Social Security tax is 6.2% of gross pay, determine the amou
Westkost [7]
To find the answer, we multiply 1,047.30 by 6.2% which is 0.062 in percentage.
1047.30 x 0.062 = 64.93
64.93 is being taken away.

For what values of a does the equation a+x= 1+xa^2 have no solution?
Anton [14]

Answer:

We have the equation

a+x= 1+xa^2

we leave the terms with x on the left side of the equation and the independent terms on the right side.

x-xa^2=1-a\\(1-a^2)x=1-a\\

resolving for x we have that

x=\frac{1-a}{1-a^2}

Since we need that the equation doesn't have solution, then it is necessary that the denominator of x be 0 and this occur when 1-a^2=0\\1=a^2\\a=\pm1

Then, for a=\pm1 the equation hasn't solution
