Coordinates of point C: (1,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, A, B and C are collinear, and B is between A and C.
The ratio AB : BC is 3 : 1.
This means that we can write the following two equations:
where:
are the coordinates of point A
are the coordinates of point B
are the coordinates of point C
Solving the equation for ,
Solving the equation for ,
So, the coordinates of point C are

Explanation:
Here is list of the first few primes = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11}
Divide 42 over the smallest prime 2 and we get
42/2 = 21
This shows that 2 is a factor (since we get a whole number result).
We don't have another factor of 2 because 21/2 = 10.5 isn't a whole number. But 3 is a factor because 21/3 = 7
Ultimately the numbers 2, 3 and 7 are factors of 42. They are the only prime factors and there's only one copy of each.
42 = 2*3*7
Check out the diagram below. It shows two different ways to generate a factor tree for the number 42.
