Given:
The point
divides the line segment joining points
and
.
To find:
The ratio in which he point P divides the segment AB.
Solution:
Section formula: If a point divides a segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are,
![Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Point%3D%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7Bmx_2%2Bnx_1%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%2C%5Cdfrac%7Bmy_2%2Bny_1%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%5Cright%29)
Let point P divides the segment AB in m:n. Then by using the section formula, we get
![\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{m(2)+n(\dfrac{1}{2})}{m+n},\dfrac{m(-5)+n(\dfrac{3}{2})}{m+n}\right)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%2C%5Cdfrac%7B5%7D%7B12%7D%5Cright%29%3D%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7Bm%282%29%2Bn%28%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%29%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%2C%5Cdfrac%7Bm%28-5%29%2Bn%28%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%29%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%5Cright%29)
![\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n},\dfrac{-5m+\dfrac{3n}{2}}{m+n}\right)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%2C%5Cdfrac%7B5%7D%7B12%7D%5Cright%29%3D%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7B2m%2B%5Cdfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%2C%5Cdfrac%7B-5m%2B%5Cdfrac%7B3n%7D%7B2%7D%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%5Cright%29)
On comparing both sides, we get
![\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B2m%2B%5Cdfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D)
![\dfrac{3}{4}(m+n)=\dfrac{4m+n}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%28m%2Bn%29%3D%5Cdfrac%7B4m%2Bn%7D%7B2%7D)
Multiply both sides by 4.
![3(m+n)=2(4m+n)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%28m%2Bn%29%3D2%284m%2Bn%29)
![3m+3n=8m+2n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3m%2B3n%3D8m%2B2n)
![3n-2n=8m-3m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3n-2n%3D8m-3m)
![n=5m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n%3D5m)
It can be written as
![\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{m}{n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D)
![1:5=m:n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%3A5%3Dm%3An)
Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Pythagorean triple the square on the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
A
longest side = 10 ⇒ 10² = 100
6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100
A is a Pythagorean triple
B
longest side = 17 ⇒ 17² = 289
8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289
B is a Pythagorean triple
C
longest side = 9 ⇒ 9² = 81
5² + 8² = 25 + 64 = 89
89 ≠ 81
C is not a Pythagorean triple
D
longest side = 13 ⇒ 13² = 169
5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169
D is a Pythagorean triple
Answer: 420 miles
Step-by-step explanation: She drove 7 hours at an average of 60 mph. You have to do 7 times 60 because each hour she goes 60 miles. 7 multiplied by 60 will give you 420.
B is the image of D, B is the image of E and C is the image of D
These are the only points where the image is to the left and down from the stated point.
![431 \div 9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=431%20%5Cdiv%209%20)
=47.8888 when you round it up you can get get about 48 then you estimate to about 50.
