A student wants to find point C on the directed line segment from A to B on a number line such that the segment is partitioned i
olganol [36]

Answer:

<u>Point C at (-18/7)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is at -6 and point B is at 2.

So, the distance between A and B = 2 - (-6) = 8

point C on the directed line segment from A to B on a number line such that the segment is partitioned in a ratio of 3:4.

Let the distance AC = x

∴ BC = 8 - x

AC : CB = 3 : 4

∴\frac{AC}{CB} =\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{8-x}

Using cross multiplication

3 (8-x) = 4x

24 - 3x = 4x

24 = 7x

x = 24/7

So, Point C = -6 + 24/7 = -18/7

Point C at (-18/7)

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The only numbers that are multiples of 2 are all even numbers. From 1 to 10 there are a total of 5 even numbers, meaning that only 5 sections are multiples of 2. Therefore, the probability of the arrow landing in a section that is labeled with a number that is a multiple of 2 would be

5/10  if we simplify this it would be 1/2 or 50%

Finally, we can say that the probability of the arrow landing on one of these sections is 50%

Write the product in simplest form: 3w^4 * (-5w^2)
Grace [21]

3w^{4} (-5w^{2} ) = -15w^{6}

I think this is what you want? When multiplying with exponents, you either add or multiply the exponents.

When you multiply the exponent:

(x²)³ = x^{6}

(3x^{4} )^{2} = 9x^{8}

When you add the exponents:

(x²)(x³) = x^{5}

(x²)(x²) = x^{4}

(x^{4} )(x^{3} ) = x^{7}
