What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (−3,8) to (6, -4) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 1 to 5?

Answers

Answer 1

let's say the segment is A(-3,8) and B(6,-4) and point C splits it on a 1:5 ratio from A to B, let's check for C coordinates.

[tex]\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ A(-3,8)\qquad B(6,-4)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{1:5} \\\\\\ \cfrac{A\underline{C}}{\underline{C} B} = \cfrac{1}{5}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{1}{5}\implies 5A=1B\implies 5(-3,8)=1(6,-4)[/tex]

[tex](\stackrel{x}{-15}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{40})=(\stackrel{x}{6}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{-4})\implies C=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{-15 +6}}{1+5}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{40 -4}}{1+5} \right)} \\\\\\ C=\left(\cfrac{-9}{6}~~,~~ \cfrac{36}{6} \right)\implies C=\left( -\cfrac{3}{2}~~,~~6 \right)[/tex]

A bucket holds 5 gallons of water and a barrel holds 8.4 buckets of water.

a. What is the conversion factor to change gallons to buckets?

b. What is the conversion factor to change buckets to barrels?

c. A gallon (gal) of water is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces (fl oz). How many fl oz of water are in 1 barrel?

Answers

Answer:

a) 1/5 bucket = 1 gallon

b) 8.4 buckets = 1 barrel

c) 5376 fl oz per barrel

Step-by-step explanation:

a) From the given information, 1 bucket = 5 gallons. This means 1/5 of a bucket is 1 gallon.

b) From the given information, 8.4 buckets = 1 barrel. This seems to be in the form that the question is asking for. If the question was asking how many barrels were in a bucket the answer would be 1/8.4 barrels = 1 bucket.

c) From the previously determined conversion factors, we can take ounces to barrels by converting barrels down to gallons.

1/8.4 barrels = 1 bucket; 1/5 bucket = 1 gallon; 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces

We need to set up a series of fractions that use these factors:

[tex]\frac{128 fl oz}{1 gallon}*\frac{1 gallon}{1/5 buckets}*\frac{1 bucket}{1/8.4 barrels}[/tex]

These fractions can be simplified to [tex]\frac{128 fl oz}{1 gallon}*\frac{5 gallon}{1 bucket}*\frac{8.4 buckets}{1 barrel}[/tex]

Multiply the fractions: 5376 fl oz per barrel

(Note that the units cancel out in the fractions so that only fluid ounces per barrel are left.)

The regular hexagon has a radius of 4 in.

A regular hexagon has a radius of 4 inches.

What is the approximate area of the hexagon?

24 in.2
42 in.2
48 in.2
84 in.2

Answers

Given the radius of the regular hexagon, its area is approximately 42in².

Hence, option B) is the correct answer.

What is the approximate area of the hexagon?

Given that;

Radius of the regular hexagon = 4inArea A = ?

Since a regular hexagon can be divided into six equal triangle, we will determine the area of a single triangle and then multiply the area by 6 to get the area of the regular hexagon.

Angle of one triangle in the regular hexagon = 360°/6 = 60°.

To determine the height, we divide the triangle into two equal half, making a right angled triangle with hypotenuse 4in, Base 4in/2 = 2in.

We find the perpendicular height using Pythagoras theorem

h = √( (4)² - (2)² )

h = √( 16 - 4 )

h = √( 12 )

h = √( 2² × 3 )

h = 2√3

Now, we determine the area of a single triangle.

Area = (1/2) × base × height

Area = 0.5 × 4 × 2√3

Area = (4√3)in²

Now, to get the area of the regular hexagon, we multiply the area of the triangle by 6

Area of regular hexagon = 6 × (4√3)in²

Area of regular hexagon = 24(√3)in²

Area of regular hexagon = 41.57in² ≈ 42in²

Given the radius of the regular hexagon, its area is approximately 42in².

Hence, option B) is the correct answer.

Answers

Option (A) "A polygon has 7 sides. No angles go inside of the shape" is correct.

What is a regular polygon?

A polygon is a geometric figure with a finite number of sides in two dimensions. On the sides or edges of a polygon, straight-line segments are joined end to end to form a closed shape. The vertices, also known as corners, are the points where two line segments meet and form an angle.

As we know, a convex heptagon is a polygon with seven sides, seven internal angles, and seven vertices, which means that a convex heptagon has seven sides.

A convex heptagon is a polygon that has 7 sides. No angles go inside of the shape.

Thus, option (A) "A polygon has 7 sides. No angles go inside of the shape" is correct.

Answer:

m<A = 120

m<BCD = 120

m<DEC = 30

m<BFE = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

m<A is 120 cause all internal angles equal 720 added together in hexagons. 720 ÷ 6 = 120

m<BCD is 120 cause regular hexagons have eqaul angles

m<DEC is 0 cause total of the angle of triangle of triangle EDC is 180 where m<D = 120 which leaves m<E + m<C = 60 since they are equal we can combine them to m<E • 2 = 60. Divide and we get 30

m<BFE =  90 cause m<AFB = 30 and m<AFE = 120 subtract 120 and 30 to get 90

find the prime factorization of 420​

Answers

Answer:

2,3,7,2,5

Step-by-step explanation:

When you factorize a number you divide them until the outcome numbers are prime. 420 is equal to 42 and 10.

42 is equal to 6 and 7 and 6 is 2 times 3

2,3,7 is prime

10 is 2 times 5

2 and 5 is prime

Answer:

420 = 2² × 3 × 5 × 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The first few prime numbers are:  2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ...

To find which prime numbers multiply together to make 420, start by dividing 420 by the first prime number, 2:

⇒ 420 ÷ 2 = 210

As 210 is not a prime number, we need to divide again.  Let's try dividing by 2 again:

⇒ 210 ÷ 2 = 105

As 105 is not a prime number, we need to divide again.  105 is not divisible by 2, so let's try dividing it by the next prime number, 3:

⇒ 105 ÷ 3 = 35

As 35 is not a prime number, we need to divide again.  35 is not divisible by 2 or 3, so let's try dividing it by the next prime number, 5:

⇒ 35 ÷ 5 = 7

As 7 is a prime number, we can stop.

Therefore, 420 is the product of all the prime numbers we found together with the final one:

⇒ 420 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 7

As 2 appears twice, we can write this using exponents:

⇒ 420 = 2² × 3 × 5 × 7

A rectangle patio has a perimeter of 38 feet. If the length of the patio is 5 feet less than twice the width, find the dimensions of the patio

Answers

Answer:

The length is 11ft.

The width is 8ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Perimeter of a rectangle: [tex]P = 2(l + w)[/tex]

P = perimeterl = lengthw = width

We know that the length is 5 ft less than twice the width, which can be expressed by the equation: l = 2w - 5. We can plug in 38 for "P".

We can substitute the equation for l, and solve for the width.

Solve for W[tex]P = 2(l + w)[/tex][tex]38 = 2((2w - 5) + w)[/tex][tex]38 = 2(3w - 5)[/tex][tex]38 = 6w - 10[/tex][tex]48 = 6w[/tex][tex]8 = w[/tex]

The width is 8. We can solve for the length by plugging it back into the equation l = 2w - 5

Solve for Ll = 2w - 5l = 2(8) - 5l = 16 - 5l = 11

The length is 11.

The dimensions are 11 ft and 8 ft.

Credit card A has an APR of 22% and an annual fee. All else being equal, at about what balance will the cards offer the same deal over the course of a year? (Assume all interest is compounded monthly)

Answers

All else being equal, at a $1,333.33 balance, the two credit cards will offer the same deal (finance charge) over a year.

What is a credit card finance charge?

A credit card finance charge is the fee associated with using credit.

Credit card issuers use the finance charges to minimize non-payment risks and earn some profits for extending credit to cardholders.

Data and Calculations:

                   Card A         Credit B

APR              22%               25%

Annual fee  $40                $0

To calculate the balance required, the required equation is

= 22%x + $40 = 25%x

Where x = required balance

Thus,

= 0.22x + $40 = 0.25x

= $40 = 0.03x (0.25x - 0.22x)

= 0.03x = $40

x = $40/0.03

x = $1,333.33

Question Completion:

Credit card A has an APR of 22% and an annual fee of $40, while credit card B has an APR of 25% and no annual fee.

The translation of line AB to line A'B' is valid and the translation rule is (x,y) ⇒ (x - 7, y - 3)

How to validate the translation?

The graph that completes the question is added as an attachment

From the graph, we have:

A = (3,9) and B = (5,6)

A' = (-4,6) and B' = (-2,3)

Subtract the x and y coordinates of A' from A and B' from B.

So, we have:

AA' = (3 + 4, 9 - 6)

AA' = (7, 3)

BB' = (5 + 2, 6 - 3)

BB' = (7, 3)

See that:

AA' = BB' = (7, 3)

This means that the line AB is translated 7 units left and 3 units down

How to prove the translation mathematically

The translation above means:

(x,y) ⇒ (x - 7, y - 3)

Recall that:

A = (3,9) and B = (5,6)

So, we have:

A' = (3 - 7, 9 - 3)

A' = (-4, 6)

Also, we have:

The coefficient in an expression is the multiplier of a designated part of a term of the expression.

coefficients here

The given expression is

  5z -2 +6x +3y

It consists of four (4) terms, added together. One term is a constant, -2. The others each have a single variable that is multiplied by a constant. When we ask for the coefficient of the variable, we are asking for the value of that constant multiplier.

The term containing x is 6x. The multiplier of x in that term is 6, so we say ...

  the coefficient of x is 6.

The term containing y is 3y. The multiplier of y in that term is 3, so we say ...

  the coefficient of y is 3.

The term containing z is 5z. The multiplier of z in that term is 5, so we say ...

  the coefficient of z is 5.

other coefficients

In an expression such as πr²h, different parts of the expression will have different coefficients. If we ask for the coefficient of the expression, we are generally asking for the constant: π. (The Greek letter pi is the symbol used to represent the irrational constant ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle. Is is about 3.1415926535....)

If we ask for the coefficient of h, we are asking for the product (πr²) that multiplies h in this expression. Similarly, the coefficient of is (πh). Note that we have specified a "designated part" of the expression for which we want the coefficient. This is important when we are solving equations.

__

The commutative property of multiplication means that parts of a product can be written in any order. That is, 5·z is the same product as z·5. When the constant and variable parts of the expression can be unambiguously identified, the order does not matter. In some cases, a constant coefficient may come in several parts: 3z·5·2 has a z-coefficient of 30, for example.

See below for a case where there may be some ambiguity.

exponents

In the expression r², the constant 2 that comes after the variable, written as a superscript, is called an "exponent," not a coefficient.
