<h3>Answer:  (2, 3)</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

For now, we're only going to consider Newmarket and Markham, which are points N and M respectively.

Let's find the slope of line NM through use of the slope formula.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (3-8)/(7-2)

m = -5/5

m = -1

Line NM has a slope of -1. Its perpendicular slope is +1 or just 1.

Rule: If the slopes multiply to -1, then the lines are perpendicular.

Or you can apply the negative reciprocal rule to go from -1 to 1.

We'll keep this perpendicular slope in mind for later.

----------------

Now let's find the midpoint of points N and M.

Add up the x coordinates and divide by 2: (x1+x2)/2 = (2+7)/2 = 4.5

Do the same for the y coordinates:  (y1+y2)/2 = (8+3)/2 = 5.5

The midpoint of N and M is at (4.5, 5.5)

The perpendicular line must go through these two points. I'm going to skip a few steps here, but basically we go from y = mx+b to y = x+1 after plugging in those x,y values and the perpendicular m we found earlier.

--------------------

In short, the perpendicular bisector for line segment NM is the equation y = x+1.

If you follow the same steps as the previous two sections, but you apply them for points M and V instead, then you should find that the perpendicular bisector is y = -3x+9. I'm skipping steps here as well.

----------------------

At this point, we have the system of equations

\begin{cases}y = x+1\\y = -3x+9\end{cases}

Let's use substitution to solve for x and y

y = x+1

-3x+9 = x+1

-3x-x = 1-9

-4x = -8

x = -8/(-4)

x = 2

y = x+1

y = 2+1

y = 3

So together, x = 2 and y = 3 pair up to get the ordered pair solution (x,y) = (2,3)

This is the location where the theme park should be placed. Let's say that C = (2,3). I'm using C for center.

You can use the distance formula to confirm that segments CN, CM and CV are all the same length, which would verify that point C is equidistant from all the other points. Furthermore, it means that points N, M and V are all on the same circle centered at C.

I know it says not to use a graph, but it still helps to see what's going on. Also, it's a handy way to confirm the answer. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. See the diagram below.

Side note: you only need 2 perpendicular bisectors to find point C. You could use three, but that's overkill since they all intersect at the same location.

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day
Anton [14]

Answer:

The most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day  Sunday-Saturday  can be approximated by

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37

Where  x represents the number of days after Sunday

T(x) represents the number of traffic tickets issued.

Sunday = x=0

Monday = x=1

Tuesday = x=2

Wednesday = x=3

Thursday = x =4

Friday = x=5

Saturday = x=6

Substitute  x= 0

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(0)^2 + 84(0) + 37\\T(x)=37

On Sunday 37 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 1

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(1)^2 + 84(1) + 37\\T(x)=115

On Monday 115 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 2

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(2)^2 + 84(2) + 37\\T(x)=181

On Tuesday 181 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 3

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(3)^2 + 84(3) + 37\\T(x)=235

On Wednesday 235 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 4

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(4)^2 + 84(4) + 37\\T(x)=277

On Thursday 277 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 5

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(5)^2 + 84(5) + 37\\T(x)=307

On Friday 307 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 6

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(6)^2 + 84(6) + 37\\T(x)=325

On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Hence the most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued
