Find the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A(-2,-4) to B(8,1) in the ratio of 2 to 3

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: we have that
A(-2,-4)  B(8,1) 

let
M-------> 
the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the ratio of 2 to 3

we know that

A--------------M----------------------B
        2                     3
distance AM is equal to (2/5) AB
distance MB is equal to (3/5) AB
so

step 1
find the x coordinate of point M
Mx=Ax+(2/5)*dABx
where
Mx is the x coordinate of point M
Ax is the x coordinate of point A
dABx is the distance AB in the x coordinate
Ax=-2
dABx=(8+2)=10
Mx=-2+(2/5)*10-----> Mx=2

step 2
find the y coordinate of point M
My=Ay+(2/5)*dABy
where
My is the y coordinate of point M
Ay is the y coordinate of point A
dABy is the distance AB in the y coordinate
Ay=-4
dABy=(1+4)=5
Mx=-4+(2/5)*5-----> My=-2

the coordinates of point M is (2,-2)

see the attached figure

when you solve a problem by working backward, what does your answer represent? how can you check your answer?

Answers

Lets say you have an addition problem

3 + 7 = ?

To figure that you can just add in your head since its easy.

3 + 7 = 10

You can work backwords to check to see if your awnser is right.

When you work backwards you do the opposite of what you are doing, so if your adding the opposite would be subtracting, and if your multiplying than the opposite would be dividing.

So you could work it out like this:

(Regular⬇️)
3 + 7 = 10
(Backwards⬇️)
10 - 7 = 3

And if you get the same numbers that were in the original awnser than you are correct! Hope this helps!!!!

F(x)=2/x and g(x)=2/x what is f(g(x))

Answers

Answer:

f(g(x)=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Put g(x)=2/x in the place of "x" in f(x)

f(2/x)=2/(2/x)

Cancel 2 with 2 and remaining is 1/(1/x) which is "x"

f(g(x)=x

A circular picture is 8 inches in diameter. Part A What is the area of the picture in square inches? A. 4π square inches B. 8π square inches C. 16π square inches D. 32π square inches Part B A frame that is 2 inches wide surrounds the picture. What is the total area of the picture and the frame in square inches? A. 4π square inches B. 12π square inches C. 36π square inches D. 40π square inches

Answers

Given:
Circular picture:
diameter = 8 inches
radius = d/2 = 8/2 = 4 inches

Part 1:
Area of a circle = π r²
A = 3.14 * 4²
A = 3.14 * 16 in² ⇒ Choice C.
A = 50.24 in²

Part 2. 
Additional 2 inches surrounds the circular picture.
radius = 4 + 2 = 6 inches
A = 3.14 * 6²
A = 3.14 * 36in² ⇒ CHOICE C.
A = 113.04 in²

A wide screen television display measures approximately 15 inches high and 27 inches wide. A television is advertised by giving the approximate length of the diagonal of its screen. How should the television be advertised?A) 36 in.
B) 31 in.
C) 30 in.
D) 21 in.

Answers

The answer would be 31 in.

First do the Pythagorean theorem. 

225+ 729= 954

Then find the square root of 954 which is 30.88 repeating, so round up to 31 in.
The answer would be B) 31 in.

A proportional relationship between two quantities is one in which the two quantities vary directly with one and other. If one item is doubled, the other, related item is also doubled.

So the answer would be C

But lets see the proof:
The first x and y ratio is 2:6 which equals 1:3
The second one is 4:12 which equals 1:3
The third one is 6: 18 which equals 1:3
The fourth one is 8: 24 which equals 1:3

Which means all 4 of the ratios are the same. So therefore the answer is C
A proportional relationship meaning that all the sets are proportional.

A) 2/6 = 0.33
     5/8 = 0.625

So, A is a wrong answer.

C) 8/4 = 2
    24/4 = 6

4/12 = 2/6
6/18 = 2/6

Therefore, we have a proportional relationship!

Answer:-  C.
