Given a line segment A(16, 8) and B(1, 3) what are the coordinates or the line segment partitioned two-fifths from A to B.

1 answer:

7 0

Partitioning means to find the dividing point between two points.
This is done by prorating the difference in x- and y-coordinates, and adding to the first.

We will take the first point (from A to B) as A(16,8).
The difference is B-A, i.e.
(1,3)-(16,8) = (-15,-5)
2/5 of the difference is (2/5)*(-15,-5) = (-6,-2)
Add the difference to the first coordinates (point A) gives
Point of division = (16,8)+(-6,-2) = (16-6, 8-2) = (10,6)

Suppose that the relation G is defined as follows.

Serga [27]

G:{3,4,6}->{0,9}

The pairs represent the input (first number in each pair) and the result (second nu.ber in each pair) for the relation G. for example G(3)=9.

The domain is the set of values that the relation can act upon. The range is the set of the values the results can take

Find the range of the function: f(x) = x + 3, for x ≠ 1

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

All Real Numbers except for 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Objective: Specify domain and range of a function.

The equation is a linear equation. A linear equation range is all real numbers. However x cannot equal 1 so let plug in x to find where the y value CANT be.

$f(1) = 1 + 3 = 4$
