<span><span><span>1. An altitude of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side. Find the equations of the altitudes of the triangle with vertices (4, 5),(-4, 1) and (2, -5). Do this by solving a system of two of two of the altitude equations and showing that the intersection point also belongs to the third line. </span>

<span>If we plot the points and connect them, we get this triangle:
Let point
A=(xA,yA)
B=(xB,yB)
C=(xC,yC)
-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment AB
Start with the general formula
Plug in the given points
Simplify and combine like terms
So the equation of the line through AB is
-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment BC
Start with the general formula
Plug in the given points
Simplify and combine like terms
So the equation of the line through BC is
-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment CA
Start with the general formula
Plug in the given points
Simplify and combine like terms
So the equation of the line through CA is
So we have these equations of the lines that make up the triangle
So to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point C(2,-5), simply negate and invert the slope to get
Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into
Solve for y and simplify
So the altitude for vertex C is
Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point A(4,5), simply negate and invert the slope to get
Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into
Solve for y and simplify
So the altitude for vertex A is
Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point B(-4,1), simply negate and invert the slope to get
Now plug the slope and the point (-4,1) into
Solve for y and simplify
So the altitude for vertex B is
------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's solve the system
Plug in into the first equation
Add 2x to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
Now plug this into
So the orthocenter is (-2/3,1/3)
So if we plug in into the third equation , we get
So the orthocenter lies on the third altitude

The solution depends on the value of
. To make things simple, assume
. The homogeneous part of the equation is
and has characteristic equation
which admits the characteristic solution
.
For the solution to the nonhomogeneous equation, a reasonable guess for the particular solution might be
. Then
So you have
This means
and so the general solution would be
Answer:
c = 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(c + 8) = 28
Since we have paranthesis, first use the dsitributive property [multiply 3 by c and 8]
3(c + 8) = 28
3c + 24 = 28
To find the value of c, you must have c alone on one side, so subtract 24 from both sides
3c + 24 = 28
3c = 4
Now, divide by 3 to both sides to get your answer
3c = 4
c = 4/3
Therefore, the answer is 4/3!
I hope this helps! :)
Answer: The correct option is
(D) {3, 10, 17, 24, …}.
Reasoning:
We are given to select the sequence that represents the following function with a domain of natural numbers :
The set of natural numbers is {1, 2, 3, 4, . . .}
to find the sequence, we need to substitute x = 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . in equation (i).
From equation (i), we get
Therefore, the sequence that represents the given function is {3, 10, 17, 24, …}.
Thus, option (D) is CORRECT.
