L1: 2x+4y-3=0 ..........(1)
P: (2,0)
The point on the line L1 closest to the given point P is at the intersection of L1 with L2, which is the perpendicular passing through P.
Slope of L1=-2/4=-1/2
Slope of L2=-1/(-1/2)=2
Since it passes throug P(2,0), we can use the point-slope formula:
(y-0)=2(x-2) =>
L2: 2x-y-4=0.............(2)
Solve for x & y using (1) and (2) to get intersection point required:
(1)-(2)
2x-2x + 4y-(-y) -3 -(-4) =0
5y=-1, y=-1/5
Substitute y=1/5 in equation (1)
2x+4(-1/5)-3=0 =>
2x-19/5=0
x=19/10
=> the point on L1 closest to (2,0) is (19/10, -1/5)
Using the distance formula I got 10.81665383 : 10.82
Answer:
Postulate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Postulate is a statement, also known as an axiom, which is taken to be true without proof.
Area of a Circle : Pi(r)
Area: (3.14)(12
)
Area: 452.16 inches squared.
Answer:
The number of different possible vote totals is 184.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is provided that there are <em>N</em> = 50 people in a club.
The position of President is open. And there are <em>x</em> = 4 members running for he post of President.
So, there are <em>n</em> = <em>N</em> - <em>x</em> = 50 - 4 = 46 people voting for these 4 members.
Each member of the club has <em>x</em> = 4 possible choices.
So, the number of different possible vote totals are:
Number of different possible votes = <em>n</em> × <em>x</em>
= 46 × 4
= 184
Thus, the number of different possible vote totals is 184.
