Answer:

(2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter of a right triangle is the vertex where the right angle is located. Here, that is vertex A.

The orthocenter is (2, 0).

The orthocenter is the point where the altitudes intersect.

A new library, L, is to be built at some point along a straight road, R, such that its distance from train station, T, is the sh

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Coordinates of the new library is (150, 70)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the shortest possible distance means that line from point T to point R has to be perpendicular.

Now, the equation of R is given as;

y = x - 80 - - - (1)

For T to be perpendicular, it means it will have a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of line R.

Thus, slope of T is -1/1 = - 1

Thus, using line - slope intercept of y = mx + c, we can find equation of T as;

140 = -1(80) + c

140 = -80 + c

c = 140 + 80

c = 220

Thus, equation is;

y = -x + 220 - - - (eq 2)

Adding equation 1 to equation 2,we have;

y + y = 220 - 80

2y = 140

y = 140/2

y = 70

Putting 70 for y in eq 1 gives;

70 = x - 80

x = 70 + 80

x = 150

Thus;

Coordinate of the new library is (150, 70)

Prove algebraically that r = 10/2+2sinTheta is a parabola

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$y = - \frac{ 1 }{10} {x}^{2} + \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove algebraically that:

$r = \frac{10}{2 + 2 \sin \theta}$

is a parabola.

We use the relations

${r}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2}$

and

$y = r \sin \theta$

Before we substitute, let us rewrite the equation to get:

$r(2 + 2 \sin \theta) = 10$

$r(1+ \sin \theta) = 5$

Expand :

$r+ r\sin \theta= 5$

We now substitute to get:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} } + y = 5$

This means that:

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

Square:

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

Expand:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} =25 - 10y + {y}^{2}$

${x}^{2} =25 - 10y$

${x}^{2} - 25 = - 10y$

$y = - \frac{ {x}^{2} }{10} + \frac{5}{2}$

This is a parabola (0,2.5) and turns upside down.

A basketball player made 80 baskets in a season. Of these, 20% were three-point shots. Determine the number of three-point shots

Amanda [17]

The answer is 16 three-point shots.
The way to do this is by doing 100 / 20 which is 5, and then you would do the total (80) divided by 5 which is 16
