Answer:

(-21, 16)  

Step-by-step explanation:

A is at (-33, 0) and B is at (0, 44),

A point that divides the line segment in a ratio of 4:7 also divides the differences of the x-and y-coordinates in the same ratio.

If we divide each distance into 11 equal parts and choose a length 4/11  of the distance, the other part will be 7/11 of the distance. The two parts will be in a ratio of 4:7.

For the x-coordinate,

x₂ - x₁ = 0 - (-33) = 0 + 33 = 33

(4/11) × 33 = 12

-33 + 12 = -21

The x-coordinate of M is (-21, 0).

For the y-coordinate,

y₂ - y₁ = 44 - 0 = 44

(4/11) × 44 = 16

0 + 16 = 16

The y-coordinate of M is (0, 16).

The coordinates of M are then (-21, 16).

The diagram below shows the point M that divides AB in a 4/7 ratio.

Rewrite the equation by completing the square 4x^2-4x+1=0
oee [108]

Answer:

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² - 4x + 1 = 0

To complete the square the coefficient of the x² term must be 1

Factor out 4 from 4x² - 4x

= 4(x² - x) + 1 = 0

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - x

4(x² + 2(- \frac{1}{2} )x + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} ) + 1 = 0

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² - 1 + 1 = 0

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² = 0

find an expression for the area of a rectangle of sides 2x+3 and x-1 given that the perimeter is 28cm what is the value of x
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

L=(2x+3)

W=(x-1)

P=28cm

A= L*W

A= (2x+3)*(x-1)

open bracket

A= 2x^2-2x+3x-3

collect like terms

A= 2x^2+x-3

P= 2L+2W

P= 2*(2x+3)+2(x-1)

P= 4x+6+2x-2

collect like terms

P= 6x-4

but p= 28

28= 6x-4

28-4= 6x

24= 6x

x= 24/6

x= 4cm

Hence x= 4cm
