Triangle DEF has vertices D(0,0), E(7,0), and F(3,7).

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leni [432]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(3, 1.7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point at which the vertices of a triangle meet is known as the orthocenter of the triangle. The orthocenter passes through the vertex of the triangle and is perpendicular to the opposite sides.

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

The slope of the line joining D(0,0), F(3,7) is:

m_1=\frac{7-0}{3-0}=\frac{7}{3}

The slope of the line perpendicular to the line joining D and F is -3/7. The orthocenter is perpendicular to the line joining D and F and passes through vertex E(7, 0). The equation is hence:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y-0=-\frac{3}{7} (x-7)\\\\y=-\frac{3}{7}x+3 \ .\ .\ .\ (1)

The slope of the line joining E(7,0), and F(3,7). is:

m_1=\frac{7-0}{3-7}=-\frac{7}{4}

The slope of the line perpendicular to the line joining E and F is 4/7. The orthocenter is perpendicular to the line joining E and F and passes through vertex D(0, 0). The equation is hence:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y-0=\frac{4}{7} (x-0)\\\\y=\frac{4}{7} x\ .\ .\ .\ (2)

The point of intersection of equation 1 and equation 2 is the orthocenter. Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 3, y = 1.7

The graph of the derivative of a function f crosses the x-axis 3 times. What does this tell you about the graph of f ?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

D. The function f has 3 horizontal tangent lines

Step-by-step explanation:

Well whenever any function crosses the x-axis, it means that the y-value is equal to zero.

In this case when the derivative passes the x-axis it indicates the tangent line corresponding to that x-value has a slope of zero, which when plotted is a horizontal line.

This means that the graph f has 3 horizontal tangent lines.

Setting StartFraction 7 over 3 EndFraction equal to which ratio would result in a valid proportion?
pochemuha

Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to select which of the options have the same value as 7/3

We examine the options one urge other.

Option A

9/49; This is wrong as it cannot be divided further to yield while multiples

Option B

18/42; Dividing through by 6 will yield 3/7 which is not same as 7/3; This makes this option wrong too

Option C

42/18; dividing through by 6 will yield 7/3 which makes this option correct

Option D

49/9; This is a dead end as it cannot be divided further to give whole number multiples

What is the explicit rule for the geometric sequence?
makvit [3.9K]
The answer is C. The formula for a geometric sequence is an = a1*r^n-1. If we plug in our numbers, we get an = 400*1/2^n-1. That is the same as C.
