Segment AB has length "a" and is divided by points P and Q into AP, PQ, and QB, such that AP = 2PQ = 2QB.
a) Find the distance between point A and the midpoint of segment QB
b) Find the distance between the midpoints of segments AP and QB

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 7a/8; b) 5a/8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AP = 2PQ = 2QB

Calculations:

1. A to the midpoint of QB

        a = AP + PQ + QB

If 2PQ = 2QB.

    PQ = QB and

    AP = 2PQ

∴      a = 2PQ + 2PQ = 4PQ

    PQ = a/4

    AP = 2PQ = a/2

Let M be the midpoint of QB.

AM = AP + PQ + QM

     = a/2 + a/4 + a/8

     = 7a/8

2. Midpoints of AP and QB

Let N be the midpoint of AP

NM = NP + PQ + QM

      = a/4 +a/4 + a/8 =

      = 5a/8

 

Segment AB Has Length "a" And Is Divided By Points P And Q Into AP, PQ, And QB, Such That AP = 2PQ =

Angle A (or BAC)=54.31466...

Angle C (or ACB)=35.68533...

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{7}{\sin \left(\angle \:ACB\right)}=\frac{12}{\sin \left(90\right)}[/tex]

[tex]BC=\sqrt{12^2-7^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{12^2-7^2}=\sqrt{95}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{95}}{\sin \left(\angle \:BAC\right)}=\frac{12}{\sin \left(90\right)}\quad :\quad \angle \:BAC=54.31466[/tex]

[tex]\frac{7}{\sin \left(\angle \:ACB\right)}=\frac{12}{\sin \left(90\right)}\quad :\quad \angle \:ACB=35.68533[/tex]

Using the pythagorean theorem

[tex]AC^2=AB^2+BC^2\\BC=\sqrt{AC^2-AB^2}\\BC=\sqrt{12^2-7^2}\\BC=\sqrt{144-49}\\BC=\sqrt{95}[/tex]

[tex]sin A=\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{\sqrt{95} }{12}\\A = sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{95} }{12})\\A = 54.31[/tex]

[tex]A + C = 90\\C = 90-A\\C= 90- 54.31\\C = 35.69[/tex]

Find all geometric sequences such that the sum of the first two terms is 24 and the sum of the first three terms is 26.

Answers

Answer:

The nth term Tn = -8(-1/4)^(n-1) or Tn = 6(1/3)^(n-1) can be used to find all geometric sequences

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first three terms be a/r, a, ar... where a is the first term and r is the common ratio of the geometric sequence.

If the sum of the first two term is 24, then a/r + a = 24...(1)

and the sum of the first three terms is 26.. then a/r+a+ar = 26...(2)

Substtituting equation 1 into 2 we have;

24+ar = 26

ar = 2

a = 2/r ...(3)

Substituting a = 2/r into equation 1 will give;

(2/r))/r+2/r = 24

2/r²+2/r = 24

(2+2r)/r² = 24

2+2r = 24r²

1+r = 12r²

12r²-r-1 = 0

12r²-4r+3r -1 = 0

4r(3r-1)+1(3r-1) = 0

(4r+1)(3r-1) = 0

r = -1/4 0r 1/3

Since a= 2/r then a = 2/(-1/4)or  a = 2/(1/3)

a = -8 or 6

All the geometric sequence can be found by simply knowing the formula for heir nth term. nth term of  a geometric sequence is expressed as

if r = -1/4 and a = -8

Tn = -8(-1/4)^(n-1)

if r = 1/3 and a = 6

Tn = 6(1/3)^(n-1)

The nth term of the sequence above can be used to find all the geometric sequence where n is the number of terms

what is the measure of B

Answers

Answer:

m<B = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB is a diameter, then angle C is a right angle.

That makes angles A and B complementary angles.

m<A + m<B = 90

46 + m<B = 90

m<B = 44

Answer:

B = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180

A + B+ C = 180

<C = 90 since it is 1/2 of the intercepted arc which is 180

46+ B + 90 = 180

136 + B = 180

B = 180-136

B =44

Simplify (x^4y)^3.
x^12y^3
x^4y^3
x^7y^3

Answers

Answer: Choice A,  x^12y^3

=========================================================

Explanation:

Think of x^4y as x^4y^1. When we raise this to the third power, we multiply the outer exponent 3 by each inner exponent

x^4 turns into x^12

y^1 turns into y^3

-----------

This is one way to show your work

(x^4y)^3

(x^4y^1)^3

x^(4*3)*y^(1*3) ... multiplying outer exponent by each inner exponent

x^12y^3

-----------

A more lengthy way to get the answer is to write x^4y out three times multiplying by itself that many times. The outer exponent 3 tells us we will have three copies of x^4y multiplied with itself.

(x^4y)^3 = (x^4y)*(x^4y)*(x^4y)

(x^4y)^3 = (x^4*x^4*x^4)*(y*y*y)

(x^4y)^3 = ( x^(4+4+4) ) * ( y^(1+1+1) )

(x^4y)^3 = x^12y^3

If a pair of shoes is going to be discounted 15%, what decimal can be used as the multiplier to find
the new cost of the shoes?​

Answers

So the original shoes cost 100%, but you are paying 15% less than 100%. 100-15 is 85, so 85% or .85 is your answer.

The decimal value is 0.85 which can be used as the multiplier to find the new cost of the shoes if the pair of shoes is going to be discounted by 15%,

What is the percentage?

It is defined as the ratio of two numbers expressed in the fraction of 100 parts. It is the measure to compare two data, the % sign is used to express the percentage.

We have:

If a pair of shoes is going to be discounted by 15%

Let's suppose the original cost is 100%

It has a discount of 15%

So the new cost of the shoes = 100 - 15 = 85%

To convert it to decimal divide it by 100

= 85/100

= 0.85

Thus, the decimal value is 0.85 which can be used as the multiplier to find the new cost of the shoes if the pair of shoes is going to be discounted by 15%,

Step-by-step explanation:

When the point [tex](9,-5)[/tex] is dilated by with a scale factor of 2.5

In a dilation, when its scale factor is less than 1, the pre-image will be lesser than the image.

However, when the scale factor is greater than 1, the pre-image will be greater than the image.

The Image of the dilation of [tex](9,-5)[/tex] with a scale factor of 2.5 is therefore:
