Answer:
In the given figure the point on segment PQ is twice as from P as from Q is. What is the point? Ans is (2,1).
Step-by-step explanation:
There is really no need to use any quadratics or roots.
( Consider the same problem on the plain number line first. )
How do you find the number between 2 and 5 which is twice as far from 2 as from 5?
You take their difference, which is 3. Now splitting this distance by ratio 2:1 means the first distance is two thirds, the second is one third, so we get
4=2+23(5−2)
It works completely the same with geometric points (using vector operations), just linear interpolation: Call the result R, then
R=P+23(Q−P)
so in your case we get
R=(0,−1)+23(3,3)=(2,1)
Why does this work for 2D-distances as well, even if there seem to be roots involved? Because vector length behaves linearly after all! (meaning |t⋅a⃗ |=t|a⃗ | for any positive scalar t)
Edit: We'll try to divide a distance s into parts a and b such that a is twice as long as b. So it's a=2b and we get
s=a+b=2b+b=3b
⇔b=13s⇒a=23s
Answer:
5 and down
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=-3, y=-19
Step-by-step explanation:
we can solve by substitution.
y = 2x-1 we can derive from the second equation.
plugging it into the first equation, 2x -3(2x-1) = 15.
simplying, 2x-6x+3 = 15 --> -4x+3 = 15, -4x = 12, x = -3.
now we know x, so we can solve for y by plugging it into one of the equations. --> -3*-6+y = -1
simplify, 18+y = -1 --> y = -19.
Answer:
The median would be found in the middle of the histogram
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like 70-79, would fall in being the median because it is in the middle and it has the most results. In this case, I think it 70-79.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
AB ≈ 6.53
Step-by-step explanation:
using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos40° = 
= 
= 
( multiply both sides by AB )
AB × cos40° = 5 ( divide both sides by cos40° )
AB = 
≈ 6.53 ( to the nearest hundredth )
