Perhaps the easiest way to find the midpoint between two given points is to average their coordinates: add them up and divide by 2.
A) The midpoint C' of AB is
.. (A +B)/2 = ((0, 0) +(m, n))/2 = ((0 +m)/2, (0 +n)/2) = (m/2, n/2) = C'
The midpoint B' is
.. (A +C)/2 = ((0, 0) +(p, 0))/2 = (p/2, 0) = B'
The midpoint A' is
.. (B +C)/2 = ((m, n) +(p, 0))/2 = ((m+p)/2, n/2) = A'
B) The slope of the line between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by
.. slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using the values for A and A', we have
.. slope = (n/2 -0)/((m+p)/2 -0) = n/(m+p)
C) We know the line goes through A = (0, 0), so we can write the point-slope form of the equation for AA' as
.. y -0 = (n/(m+p))*(x -0)
.. y = n*x/(m+p)
D) To show the point lies on the line, we can substitute its coordinates for x and y and see if we get something that looks true.
.. (x, y) = ((m+p)/3, n/3)
Putting these into our equation, we have
.. n/3 = n*((m+p)/3)/(m+p)
The expression on the right has factors of (m+p) that cancel*, so we end up with
.. n/3 = n/3 . . . . . . . true for any n
_____
* The only constraint is that (m+p) ≠ 0. Since m and p are both in the first quadrant, their sum must be non-zero and this constraint is satisfied.
The purpose of the exercise is to show that all three medians of a triangle intersect in a single point.
Answer:
Ф = 
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a bit difficult to input the work here, so I uploaded an image
- First we can use the trig identities to change sec²(Ф) to tan²(Ф) + 1
- Then we can combine like terms
- Then we can factor this as a polynomial function
- Then we can set each term equal to zero and solve for Ф
- The first term tan(Ф) - 2 = 0 has no solution because tan(Ф) ≠ -2 anywhere
- The second term tan(Ф) - 1 = 0 has two solutions of
and 
so these are the solutions to the problem
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 17.32; y = 8.67
Step-by-step explanation:
Process
1.- Use trigonometric functions to find x and y
a) sin Ф = 
Ф = 60°
opposite side = 15
hypotenuse = ?
hypotenuse = 17.32
b) cosФ = 
y = 8.67
He answer is Positive 60 or 60+
Answer:
Because 3(5x) is the same as 3 *5 * x
Step-by-step explanation:
When a number is next to another in parantheses, it signifies multiplication. In this case, we already have 5 and x grouped together by a multiplication sign, so the entire thing is 5 * x. The statement below is key
Distribution in multiplication is only possible if a variable is grouped to another real number by a plus or minus sign.
So in this case, we have 3 * 5 * x, which is 15x. However, if we had 3(5 + x), we would have 15 (3 * 5) + 3x (3 * x).
Hopefully that makes sense!
