Answer:

(4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point O(x, y) divides a line segment AB with end points at A(x_1,y_1) and      B(x_2,y_2) in the ratio of n:m, then the location of O is at:

x=\frac{n}{n+m} (x_2-x_1)+x_1\\\\y=\frac{n}{n+m} (y_2-y_1)+y_1

Given that Nates house is located at (-2,4) while the park is located at (10,2). Macs house if it is 1/2 of the distance from Nates house to the park (that is in the ratio of 1:1). Let (x, y) be the coordinate of Macs house, therefore:

x=\frac{1}{2}(10-(-2))+(-2)=\frac{1}{2}(12)-2=6-2\\\\x=  4\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}(2-4) +4=\frac{1}{2}(-2)+4\\\\y=3

The location of Macs house is (4, 3)

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

a. z-score = -1.2

b. The age 23 years old is -1.2 standard deviations below the mean

c. The age is not unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Transformation to z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x - μ)/σ

where σ and μ are the standard deviation and the mean respectively.

From the question, x = 23, μ = 27.2 and σ = 3.5

Let’s put these into the equation;

z-score = (23-27.2)/3.5 = -1.2

b. Interpretation of result

The interpretation is that 23 years old is -1.2 standard deviations below the mean

c. Determination

The age is not unusual. This is because any z-value below -2 or above 2 is considered unusual

-1.2 is above -2 and thus it is not unusual

Solve 4x+2=12 for using the change of base formula logby=logy over logb
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

log₄ 10 = log₁₀ 10 / log₁₀ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the x to be a power then;

4^x +2 =12

4^x = 12-2

4^x=10

Introduce log on both sides

x log 4= log 10

x= log 10/log 4

log₄ 10 = log₁₀ 10 / log₁₀ 4

Daniella is interviewing for a job. She wants her take-home pay to be at least $51,000 
Lilit [14]
Okay. So Daniella wants to have a take-home pay of at least $51,000, but she ahs to pay 15% income tax, which means 15% of what she earns will be gone. To find out the least amont of salary she needs to make, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

51,000/x = 85/100

This is because we are looking for the amount of money made overall, but the $51,000 is only part of the salary earned, and even though you pay 15% income tax, you still take home 85% of your salary. Cross multiply the valyes in order to get 5,100,000 = 85x. Divide each side by 85 to isolate the variable. 5,100,000/85 is 60,000. Let's check this by multiplying by 85% (0.85). 60,000 * 0.85 is 51,000. There. x = 60,000. Daniella will need to make at least $60,000.
