Answer:

  (7, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find point X on the segment from A to B such that ...

  (X -A)/(B -X) = 3/2

  2(X -A) = 3(B -X) . . . . . . cross multiply

  2X -2A = 3B -3X . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5X = 2A +3B . . . . . . . . add 3X +2A

  X = (2A +3B)/5 . . . . . . . divide by 5

Filling in the given points for A and B, we have ...

  X = (2(4, -3) +3(9, -8))/5 = (8+27, -6-24)/5 = (35, -30)/5

  X = (7, -6)

The point that divides the segment in the proportions 3:2 is (7, -6).

Anarel [89]

Step-by-step explanation:

Week 1: 3,000 cases

Week 2: 0.4 * 3,000 = 1,200. 1,200 + 3,000 = 4,200

Week 3: 0.4 * 4,200 = 1,680. 1,680 + 4,200 = 5,880

5,880 - 3,000 = 2,880

Given f(x) shown below complete the equation for the inverse of f(x) = x-1
shtirl [24]
Replace f(x) with y
switch x and y
solve for y
replace y with f⁻¹(x)

f(x)=x-1
y=x-1
x=y-1
x+1=y
x+1=f⁻¹(x)
f⁻¹(x)=x+1
