Answer:

Q (2.5, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A (1, -5), C = (10, 1), find Q (x, y), so that AQ:QC = 1:5

AQ = (x - 1, y + 5)

QC = (10 - x, 1 - y)

AQ:QC = 1:5

so 5*AQ = QC

5(x - 1) = (10 - x)

5(y + 5) = 1 - y

Solve them:

5x - 5 = 10 - x

6x = 15

x = 15/6 = 2.5

5y + 25 = 1 - y

6y = -24

y = -24/6 = -4

Then answer is Q (2.5, -4)

The distance on the number line from -10 to -2 equals 5x – 12. What is the value of x?
Troyanec [42]

It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12

= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12

= 8 + 12 = 5x

= x = 20 / 5

= x = 4

How do i factor 2x^2+11x+5
ira [324]
For simple integer factors as this one has, you want to find two values for the quadratic in the form ax^2+bx+c.   Let the two values be j and k.  These two values must satisfy two conditions.

jk=ac=10 and j+k=b=11, so j and k must be 1 and 10.

Now replace bx with jx and kx...

2x^2+x+10x+5  now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms.

x(2x+1)+5(2x+1)

(x+5)(2x+1)
