Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The description is too ambiguous to reconstruct the diagram. You need to post the actual diagram.

That diagram is just one way to view division by a fraction. An easier way: DIVIDING by a fraction is the same as MULTIPLYING by the upside-down fraction. For example,

(1/2) ÷ (1/4) = (1/2) × (4/1) = 2

That doesn’t help you answer this particular question, though.

A circle passes through points A(7,4), B(10,6), C(12,3). Show that AC must be the diameter of the circle.
Artist 52 [7]

so we have three points, A, B and C, if indeed AC is the diameter of the circle, then half the distance of AC is its radius, and the midpoint of AC is the center of the circle, morever, since B is also on the circle, the distance from B to the center must be the same radius distance.

in short, half the distance of AC must be equals to the distance of B to the midpoint of AC, if indeed AC is the diameter.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{12+7}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{3+4}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{19}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{7}{2} \right)=M\impliedby \textit{center of the circle}

now, let's check the distance from say A to the center, and check the distance of B to the center, if it's indeed the center, they'll be the same and thus AC its diameter.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{19}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{2}})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{19}{2}-7 \right)^2+\left( \frac{7}{2}-4 \right)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{5}{2}\right)^2+\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)^2}\implies \boxed{AM\approx 2.549509756796392} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552 cuáles son esos números?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 23 y 24 ( ó -23 y -24)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dos números consecutivos se escriben como:

n y (n + 1)

done n es un numero entero.

Entonces "El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552"

Se escribe como:

n*(n + 1) = 552

n^2 + n = 552

n^2 + n - 552 = 0

Tenemos una cuadrática, las posibles soluciones son obtenidas con la formula de Bhaskara.

n = \frac{-1 +- \sqrt{1^2 - 4*1*(-552)} }{2} = \frac{-1 +- 47}{2}

Las dos soluciones son.

n = (-1 - 47)/2 = -48/2 = -24

n = (-1 + 47)/2 = 46/2 = 23

Si tomamos la primer solución, n = -24

Entonces los dos números consecutivos son:

n = -24

(n + 1) = -23

Si n = 23 entonces

n + 1 = 24

Lo cual tiene sentido, por que lo único que cambia son los signos, los cuales se cancelarían en la multiplicación.

What fraction of 30 is 12
zloy xaker [14]

Call the mystery fraction ' F ' (for 'fraction').

12 is the mystery fraction of 30 .

                                             12  =  F x 30

Divide each side by  30 :      F  =  12/30  =  2/5 .

An animal shelter needs to find homes for 40 dogs and 60 cats. If 15% of the dogs are female, and 25% of the cats are female, wh
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

21% of the animals are female

Step-by-step explanation:

In total:

There are 40 + 60 = 100 animals.

Female animals.

40 dogs. Of those, 15% are female. So 0.15*40 = 6.

60 cats. Of those, 25% are female. So 0.25*60 = 15.

21 female animals.

21/100 = 0.21 = 21%

21% of the animals are female

Which expressions are equivalent to 5 x minus 15? Select three options. 5 (x + 15) 5 (x minus 3) 4 x + 3 y minus 15 minus 3 y +
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

B) 5 (x minus 3)

C) 4 x + 3 y minus 15 minus 3 y + x

E) Negative 20 minus 3 x + 5 + 8 x

tep-by-step explanation:

5x minus 15

5x - 15

5(x - 3)

4 x + 3 y minus 15 minus 3 y + x

4x + 3y - 15 - 3y + x

5x - 15

Negative 20 minus 3 x + 5 + 8 x

-20 - 3x + 5 + 8x

5x - 15
