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).

Ginny is studying a population of frogs. She determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year. Whe
Rama09 [41]

You can see how this works by thinking through what's going on.

 

In the first year the population declines by 3%.  So the population at the end of the first year is the starting population (1200) minus the decline: 1200 minus 3% of 1200.  3% of 1200 is the same as .03 * 1200.  So the population at the end of the first year is 1200 - .03 * 1200.  That can be written as 1200 * (1 - .03), or 1200 * 0.97

 

What about the second year?  The population starts at 1200 * 0.97.  It declines by 3% again.  But 3% of what???  The decline is based on the population at the beginning of the year, NOT based no the original population.  So the decline in the second year is 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97).  And just as in the first year, the population at the end of the second year is the population at the beginning of the second year minus the decline in the second year.  So that's 1200 * 0.97 - 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97), which is equal to 1200 * 0.97 (1 - 0.03) = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 = 1200 * 0.972.

 

So there's a pattern.  If you worked out the third year, you'd see that the population ends up as 1200 * 0.973, and it would keep going like that.

 

So the population after x years is 1200 * 0.97x

Given the polynomial 21x 4 + 3y - 6x 2 + 34 What polynomial must be subtracted from it to obtain 29x 2 - 7 ? What polynomial mus
fredd [130]

Answer:

1. 21x⁴+3y-35x² + 41

2. -21x⁴-3y+6x² + x

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding and subtracting polynomials , you can use the distributive property to add or subtract the coefficients of like terms.

1. The polynomial is 21x⁴ + 3y -6x² + 34

To obtain polynomial 29x² -7 , we must subtract some polynomial from it.

Let that polynomial be k.

So, 21x⁴ + 3y -6x² + 34 - k =  29x² -7

k = 21x⁴ + 3y - 6x² +34 - 29x² +7 = 21x⁴ + 3y - 35x² + 41

2. To obtain a first degree polynomial, let that polynomial be x +34

So, 21x⁴ + 3y - 6x² + 34 + K = x + 34

K = x + 34 - 21x⁴ -3y + 6x² - 34

  = -21x⁴ - 3y + 6x² + x
