There is a point $A$ with positive coordinates such that the sum of the coordinates of $A$ is $14$. If the $x$-coordinate of $A$

is $a$, then point $P$ is at $(3a, a^2+13a-11)$. If the slope of a line passing through $A$ and $P$ is $7$, find $a$.

Answer:

  5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  A = (a, 14-a)

  P = (3a, a^2 +13a -11)

  the slope of AP is 7

  a > 0

<u>Find</u>:

  a

<u>Solution</u>:

The slope of AP is ...

  m = (Py -Ay)/(Px -Ax)

  7 = (a^2 +13a -11 -(14 -a))/(3a -a)

  14a = a^2 +14a -25

  25 = a^2

  a = √25 = 5 . . . . . the positive solution

The value of 'a' is 5.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The point A is (a, 14-a) = (5, 9).

The point P is (3a, a^2 +13a -11) = (15, 79)

The slope of AP is (79 -9)/(15 -5) = 70/10 = 7.

Annabelle arranged her 42 building blocks into 3 rows of 14 blocks. Then, she rearranged them into 6 rows of 7 blocks. What two
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

21 rows 2 blocks

1 row 42 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of blocks with Annabelle = 42

First arrangement = 3 rows 14 blocks

Second arrangement = 6 rows 7 blocks

To find:

The other two factor pairs that could be used to rearrange the blocks again?

Solution:

Here, we will have to find the factor pairs of total number of blocks present with Annabelle.

i.e. 42

First of all, let us have a look at the factor pairs of 42.

42 = 3\times 14\\42 = 6\times 7\\42 = \underline{2\times 21}\\42 = \underline{1\times 42}

Therefore, the other two factor pairs can be 2, 21 and 1, 42.

The other two possible factor pairs are:

21 rows 2 blocks

1 row 42 blocks

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The new rate should be $56.67 per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.

As per the statement:

Normal rate per day = $45

To find the new rate:

Let new rate be x per day

By definition of proportion:

\frac{126}{100} = \frac{x}{45}

By cross multiply we have;

100x = 126 \times 45

Divide both sides by 100 we get;

x = \frac{126 \times 45}{100}

Simplify:

x = $56.7

Therefore, the new rate should be $56.7 per day
