The line segment joining the points ( 3,-4) and (1,2) is trisected at the points P and Q . If the coordinates of P and Q are (p

Answer:

P = 7/3 and q = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The endpoints of the segment are, (3, -4) and (1, 2)

The points that trisect the given points are P and Q with coordinates (p, -2) and (5/3, q) respectively

Therefore, we have;

The first point of the trisection cuts 1/3 of the length from one point and the second point of the trisection cuts 2/3 of the length from the same point

The coordinates of P or Q = (3 - (3 - 1)/3, -4 - (-4 - 2)/3) = (7/3 , -2)

Therefore, given that the y-coordinate value of the derived point coincides with the y-coordinate value of the point P, (p, -2) and there is only one point with x = -2 on the line, we have that the coordinate of the point P is (p, -2) = (7/3 , -2)

∴ P = 7/3

Similarly we have the second point of the trisection, Q, given as follows;

We are already given the x-coordinate value of the point Q as the 5/3 in (5/3, q)

Point Q = (5/3, q) = (3 - 2×(3 - 1)/3, -4 - 2×(-4 - 2)/3) = (5/3 , 0)

Point Q = (5/3, q) = (5/3 , 0)

∴ q = 0.

Simplify. (−5 p 4 z 6 u) 3
ser-zykov [4K]
In this expression, solve the multiplication in the parenthesis. 
-5×p×4×z×6×u
since multiplication is commutative, 
-5×p×4×z×6×u=-5×4×6×p×z×u= -120pzu

Now multiply this by 3.
(-5p4z6u)3 = (-120pzu)3 = -360pzu

. Two bicyclists, Sarah and Emily, depart from the same location. Sarah heads N55°E at an average speed of 6 km/hr. Emily heads
Liula [17]

Answer:

The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Sarah's speed = 6 km/hr = 1.6667 m/s

Emily's speed = 10 km/hr = 2.7778 m/s

The measure of angle between their bearings = 105^{o}

After 30 minutes (1800 seconds);

distance = speed x time

Sarah would have covered a distance = 1.6667 x 1800

                               = 3000 m

                               = 3 km

Emily would have covered a distance = 2.7778 x 1800

                               = 5000 m

                               = 5 km

The distance between them, a, can be determined by applying the cosine rule;

a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} - 2bcCos A

   = 5000^{2} + 3000^{2} -2(5000 x 3000) Cos 105

   = 5000^{2} + 3000^{2} -2(5000 x 3000) x (-0.2588)

   = 2.5 x 10^{7} + 9 x 10^{6} + 7764000

   = 41764000

a = \sqrt{41764000}

  = 6462.5073

a = 6462.5 m

The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.
