Answer:

(-1,1),(4,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The hypotenuse of a right triangle has endpoints A(4, 1) and B(–1, –2).

To find: coordinates of vertex of the right angle

Solution:

Let C be point (x,y)

Distance between points (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2) is given by \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

AC=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2}\\BC=\sqrt{(x+1)^2+(y+2)^2}\\AB=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(1+2)^2}=\sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34}

ΔABC is a right angled triangle, suing Pythagoras theorem (square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of squares of base and perpendicular)

34=\left [ (x-4)^2+(y-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 \right ]

Put (x,y)=(-1,1)

34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9\\34=34

which is true. So, (-1,1) can be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(4,-2)

34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+25\\34=34

which is true. So, (4,-2) can be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(1,1)

34=\left [ (1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+4+9\\34=22

which is not true. So, (1,1) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(2,-2)

34=\left [ (2-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (2+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+9+9\\34=22

which is not true. So, (2,-2) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(4,-1)

34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+25+1\\34=30

which is not true. So, (4,-1) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(-1,4)

34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(4-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(4+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9+36\\34=70

which is not true. So, (-1,4) cannot be a vertex

So, possible points for the vertex are (-1,1),(4,-2)

A butcher has 10 3/4 pounds of ground beef that will be priced at 3.40 dollars per pound. He divides the meat into 8 equal packa
spin [16.1K]
Well we know that 10 and 3/4 is equivalent to 10.75.  If we divide the meat into 8 equal packages we have to divide 10.75 by 8.  Dividing 10.75 by 8 gives us 1.34375 pounds of meat per package.  If we take that, and multiply it by our given value of $3.40 per pound, we end up getting $4.57 a package.

How do you graph y=-1.5<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20" id="TexFormula1" title=" x^{2} " alt=" x^{2} " align
lorasvet [3.4K]
y=-1.5 x^{2} +6 \\ \\ x=-3 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*(-3)^2+6 =-1.5*9+6=-13.5+6=-7.5\\ \\x=-2 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*(-2)^2+6 =-1.5*4+6=-6+6=0\\ \\x=-1 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*(-1)^2+6 =-1.5*1+6=-1.5+6=-4.5\\ \\x=0 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*0^2+6 =6

x=1 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*(1)^2+6 =-1.5+6=-4.5\\ \\ x= 2 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*2^2+6 =-1.5*4+6=-6+6=0\\ \\x=3 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*3^2+6 =-1.5*9+6=-13.5+6=-7.5
