The coordinates of point Q that is 2/3 of the way along the directed segment from R(-7,-2) to S(2,4) is $(\frac{-17}{5} ,\frac{2}{5} )$

Explanation :

the coordinates of point Q that is 2/3 of the way along the directed segment from R(-7,-2) to S(2,4)

Apply section formula to find coordinates of point Q

$(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} , \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} )$

Ratio m:n is 2:3 and point R is (x1,y1) , point S is (x2,y2)

Substitute all the values inside the formula

$(\frac{2(2)+3(-7)}{2+3} , \frac{2(4)+3(-2)}{2+3} )\\\\(\frac{-17}{5} ,\frac{2}{5} )$

The coordinates of point Q is $(\frac{-17}{5} ,\frac{2}{5} )$

Answer:

Do you mean GCF?

Step-by-step explanation:

48, 60, and 96 all have a GCF of 12

12 x 4 = 48

12 x 5 = 60

12 x 8 = 96

You have D dollars to buy fence to enclose a rectangular plot of land (see figure at right). The fence for the top and bottom co

alex41 [277]

The perimeter of the rectangular plot of land is given by the expression below

$P=2x+2y$

On the other hand, since the available money to buy fence is D dollars,

$\begin{gathered} D=4(2x)+3(2y) \\ \Rightarrow D=8x+6y \\ D\rightarrow\text{ constant} \end{gathered}$

Furthermore, the area of the enclosed land is given by

$A=xy$

Solving the second equation for x,

$\begin{gathered} D=8x+6y \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6y}{8} \end{gathered}$

Substituting into the equation for the area,

$\begin{gathered} A=(\frac{D-6y}{8})y \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{D}{8}y-\frac{3}{4}y^2 \end{gathered}$

To find the maximum possible area, solve A'(y)=0, as shown below

$\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}(y)=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{D}{8}-\frac{3}{2}y=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{3}{2}y=\frac{D}{8} \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{D}{12} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the corresponding value of x is

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{D}{12} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6(\frac{D}{12})}{8}=\frac{D-\frac{D}{2}}{8}=\frac{D}{16} \end{gathered}$ <h2>Thus, the dimensions of the fence that maximize the area are x=D/16 and y=D/12.</h2><h2>As for the used money,</h2> $\begin{gathered} top,bottom:\frac{8D}{16}=\frac{D}{2} \\ Sides:\frac{6D}{12}=\frac{D}{2} \end{gathered}$ <h2>Half the money was used for the top and the bottom, while the other half was used for the sides.</h2>
