Question:

Which point on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB?

A. (-6, 0)

B. (0, -6)

C. (0, 2)

D. (2, 0)

The graph of the question is attached.

Answer:

The point is (x, y) = (0, 2)

The correct option is C.

Therefore, the point (0, 2) on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph, the points A and B are

(x_1, y_1) = (-2, 4) \\\\(x_2, y_2) = (2,-8) \\\\

The slope of the equation is given by

m_1 = \frac{-8 - 4 }{2 -(-2)} \\\\ m_1 = \frac{-12 }{2+2} \\\\m_1 = \frac{-12 }{4} \\\\m_1 = -3 \\\\

We know that the slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

m_2 = - \frac{1}{m_1}

So the slope of the other line is

m_2 = \frac{1 }{3} \\\\

Now we can find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line AB and passes through the point C.

From the graph, the coordinates of point C are

(x_1, y_1) = (6, 4)

The point-slope form is given by,

y - y_1 = m(x -x_1)

Substitute the value of slope and the coordinates of point C

y - 4 = \frac{1 }{3} (x - 6)\\\\

To get the y-intercept, substitute x = 0  

y - 4 = \frac{1 }{3} (0 - 6) \\\\y - 4 = \frac{-6 }{3}\\\\y - 4 = -2\\\\y = 4 -2 \\\\y = 2 \\\\

So, the point is

(x, y) = (0, 2)

The correct option is C.

Therefore, the point (0, 2) on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB.

Flannery used 30 lilies and 78 roses to create six identical flower arrangements. Write an equation to describe the relationship
Volgvan

Number of lilies used= 30 lilies

Number of roses used= 78 roses

To make the six identical arrangements:

We need to divide lilies into six equal parts, as well as number of roses in six equal parts.

I=Number of lilies in each arrangement = \frac{30}{6}=5

r=Number of roses in each arrangement = \frac{78}{6}=13

Total number of flowers in arrangement (I + r)= 5 Lilies + 13 Roses=18 (Flowers)

The relationship between l, the number of lilies, and r, the number of roses:

→ 5 I = 13 r

I=\frac{13 r}{5} , r =\frac{5I}{13}

Point AAA is at {(6,1)}(6,1)left parenthesis, 6, comma, 1, right parenthesis and point CCC is at {(2,-7)}(2,−7)left parenthesis,
pychu [463]

Answer:

The coordinates of B is (3, - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

A(6, 1)

C(2, -7)

Coordinates of point B such that AB = 1/3 × BC

Hence we have;

AC = AB + BC = BC + \dfrac{1}{3} \times BC =  \dfrac{4}{3} \times BC

Therefore BC = 3/4 × AC

Hence, AB = 1/3 × BC = 1/3 × 3/4 × AC = 1/4 × AC

AC = √((6 - 2)² + (1 - (-7))²) = √(16 + 64) = √80 = 4·√5

AB = 1/4 × 4·√5 = √5

Therefore;

AB² = (x - 6)² + (y - 1)² = 5

Slope = (1 - (-7))/(6 - 2) = 2

Hence the y coordinate of B = -7 + sin(tan⁻¹(2)) ×√5 = -5

The x coordinate of B = 2 + cos(tan⁻¹(2)) ×√5 = 3

The coordinates of B = (3, - 5)

1) A family consisting of three persons—A, B, and C—goes to a medical clinic that always has a doctor at each of stations 1, 2,
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us record the station number 1, 2 or 3 for each family member A, B or C.

I am attaching a table containing total outcomes. Outcomes are presented along rows while the assigned station to each member is written along columns. For ease of understanding, 1 3 2 in the table should be interpreted as family member A being assigned to station 1, member B to station 3 and member C to station number 2, respectively.

From table it is clear that the total outcomes possible are 27.

We know that, probability can be defined as,

PROBABITILY = \frac{NUMBER\;OF\;DESIRED\;OUTCOMES}{TOTAL\;NUMBER\;OF\;OUTCOMES}

a) All Members Assigned to the Same Station.

Cases for all members being assigned to same station are as follows:

[1 1 1], [2 2 2], [3 3 3] (outcome number 1, 14 and 27 in the table).

Therefore,

PROBABILITY\;(Case\;a) = \frac{3}{27}\\\\PROBABILITY\;(Case\;a) = 0.111

b) At Most Two Members Assigned to the Same Station.

It means that maximum of 2 members can have the same station. Cases for this situation are as follows:

[1 1 2], [1 1 3], [1 2 1], [1 2 2], [1 3 1], [1 3 3], [2 1 1], [2 1 2], [2 2 1], [2 2 3], [2 3 2],

[2 3 3], [3 1 1], [3 1 3], [3 2 2], [3 2 3], [3 3 1], [3 3 2]

(outcome number 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25 and 26 in the table).

Therefore,

PROBABILITY\;(Case\;b) = \frac{18}{27}\\\\PROBABILITY\;(Case\;b) = 0.666

c) All Members Assigned to a Different Station.

For this scenario, we have the following results:

[1 2 3], [1 3 2], [2 1 3], [2 3 1], [3 1 2], [3 2 1] (outcome number 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 22 in the table).

Therefore,

PROBABILITY\;(Case\;c) = \frac{6}{27}\\\\PROBABILITY\;(Case\;c) = 0.222

What is the exact value of the cos F?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

cos(F) = 9/41

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, so you know that ...

... cos(D) = cos(A) = 40/41.

From trig relations, you know ...

... cos(F) = sin(D)

and

... sin(D)² +cos(D)² = 1

So ...

... cos(F) = sin(D) = √(1 -cos(D)²) = √(1 -(40/41)²) = √(81/1681)

... cos(F) = 9/41

_____

The ratio for cos(A) tells you that you can consider AB=40, AC=41. Then, using the Pythagorean theorem, you can find BC = √(41² -40²) = √81 = 9.

From the definition of the cosine, you know cos(C) = BC/AC = 9/41. Because the triangles are similar, you know

... cos(F) = cos(C) = 9/41
