Carter draws one side of equilateral △PQR on the coordinate plane at points P(-3,2) and Q(5,2). Which ordered pair is a possible

Law Incorporation [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!!

Let me simply explain you about it.

We generally use the distance formula to get the points.

let the point R be (x,y)

As it an equilateral triangle it must have equal distance.

now,

let's find the distance of PQ,

we have, distance formulae is;

$pq = \sqrt{( {x2 - x1)}^{2} + ( {y2 - y1)}^{2} }$

$or \: \sqrt{( {5 + 3)}^{2} + ( {2 - 2)}^{2} }$

By simplifying it we get,

$8$

Now,

again finding the distance between PR,

$pr = \sqrt{( {x2 - x1}^{2} + ( {y2 - y1)}^{2} }$

or,

$\sqrt{( {x + 3)}^{2} + ( {y - 2)}^{2} }$

By simplifying it we get,

$= \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 }$

now, finding the distance of QR,

$qr = \sqrt{( {x - 5)}^{2} + ( {y - 2)}^{2} }$

or, by simplification we get,

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 10x - 4y + 29 }$

now, equating PR and QR,

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13} = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 10x - 4y + 29 }$

we cancelled the root ,

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} -10x - 4y + 29$

or, cancelling all like terms, we get,

6x+13= -10x+29

16x=16

x=16/16

Therefore, x= 1.

now,

equating, PR and PQ,

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 } = 8}$

cancel the roots,

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 = 8$

now,

(1)^2+ y^2+6×1-4y+13=8

or, 1+y^2+6-4y+13=8

y^2-4y+13+6+1=8

or, y(y-4)+20=8

or, y(y-4)= -12

either, or,

y= -12 y=8

Therefore, y= (8,-12)

by rounding off both values, we get,

x= 1

y=(8,-12)

So, i think it's (1,8) is your answer..

Hope it helps...

8. You recorded the time in seconds it took for 8 participants to solve a puzzle. The times were: 15.2, 18.8, 19.3, 19.7, 20.2,

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Xbar = 20.813

Median = 19.95

5 - number summary :

Minimum = 15.2

Q1 = 19.05; Q2 = 19.95 ; Q3 = 21.95 ; maximum = 29.4

Standard deviation, s = 4.068

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

X : 15.2, 18.8, 19.3, 19.7, 20.2, 21.8, 22.1, 29.4

Ordered data:

15.2, 18.8, 19.3, 19.7, 20.2, 21.8, 22.1, 29.4

The mean (xbar) :

Xbar = Σx / n ; n = sample size = 8

Xbar = 166.8 / 8 = 20.8125

Xbar = 20.813

The median :

1/2 *(n+1)th term

1/2(9) = 4.5

(4 + 5)th term / 2

(19.7 + 20.2) / 2 = 19.95

The five number summary :

Minimum = 15.2

Lower quartile (Q1) = 1/4(9) = 2.25 ; (2nd + 3rd) term / 2

(18.8 + 19.3) / 2 = 19.05

Median (Q2) = 19.95

Upper quartile (Q3) :

3/4(9) = 6.75 = (6th + 7th) / 2

(21.8 + 22.1) / 2 = 21.95

Maximum = 29.4

The standard deviation, s = sqrt[(x - xbar)²/ (n-1)]

Using calculator ;

s = 4.068
