Answer:

The coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

As m is the midpoint, so

m(x, y) = m (-7, -2.5)

The other point a is given by

a(x₁, y₁) = a(-9, -4)

To determine

We need to determine the coordinates of the point b

= ?

Using the midpoint formula

\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)

substituting (x, y) = (-7, -2.5), (x₁, y₁) = (-9, -4)

\left(-7,\:-2.5\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+\left(-9\right)}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+\left(-4\right)}{2}\right)

Thus equvating,

Determining the x-coordinate of b

[x₂ + (-9)] / 2 = -7

x₂ + (-9) = -14

x₂ - 9 = -14

adding 9 to both sides

x₂ - 9 + 9 = -14 + 9

x₂ = -5

Determining the y-coordinate of b

[y₂ + (-4)] / 2 = -2.5

y₂ + (-4) = -2.5(2)

y₂ - 4 = -5

adding 4 to both sides

y₂ - 4 + 4 = -5 + 4

y₂ = -1

Therefore, the coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)

How many "words" can be written using exactly five A's and no more than three B's (and no other letters)?
kakasveta [241]

This is a problem of Permutations. We have 3 cases depending on the number of B's. Since no more than three B's can be used we can use either one, two or three B's at a time.

Case 1: Five A's and One B

Total number of letters = 6

Total number of words possible = \frac{6!}{5!*1!}=6

Case 2: Five A's and Two B's

Total number of letters = 7

Total number of words possible = \frac{7!}{5!*2!}=21

Case 3: Five A's and Three B's

Total number of letters = 8

Total number of words possible = \frac{8!}{5!*3!}=56

Total number of possible words will be the sum of all three cases.

Therefore, the total number of words that can be written using exactly five A's and no more than three B's (and no other letters) are 6 + 21 + 56 = 83
