Parker is testing 2 different types of ant killer in his yard. He purchases Brand A and Brand B from the home improvement store.

He applies Brand A in the front yard on Monday and Brand B in the backyard on Saturday. He then compares the ant hills on Sunday and determines that Brand A is more effective than Brand B. Why is his conclusion not valid?

Answer:

Given scenario is :

Parker applies Brand A in the front yard on Monday and Brand B in the backyard on Saturday.

He compares the ant hills on Sunday and determines that Brand A is more effective than Brand B.

This is not a valid conclusion because brand A had been spread out for 6 days from Monday to Sunday and brand B had been applied for only 1 day.

It is obvious that brand A will have been more effective as it worked for 6 days unlike brand B.

For a valid conclusion, Parker should apply the pesticides on the same day and check the results on the same day.

His conclusion wouldn't be valid because he didn't apply them on the same day. So, Brand A if applied first would be ahead of brand B which was applied 5 days later. Hope this helped!

A square is constructed on side AD of quadrilateral ABCD such that FA lies on AB, as shown in the figure.
Elza [17]

Answer:  The co-ordinates of F are (4.4, -4.6) and the co-ordinates of D are (4.4, -1.4).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a square is constructed on side AD of quadrilateral ABCD such that FA lies on AB as shown in the figure. The co-ordinates of A are (6, -3) and the co-ordinates of B are (10, 1).

Also, AD : AB = 2 : 5 and the co-ordinates of the point E are (2.8, -3).

We are to select the correct co-ordinates of the points F and D.

Let, (a, b) are the co-ordinates of F and (c, d) are the co-ordinates of D.

Since ADEF is a square, so we have

AD = DE = EF = FA.

Given that

AD : AB = 2 : 5, so  FA : AB = 2 : 5.

That is, \left(\dfrac{c+4.4}{2},\dfrac{d-4.6}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{2.8+6}{2},\dfrac{-3-3}{2}\right)

We have, after applying the internal division formula that

\left(\dfrac{2\times 10+5\times a}{2+5},\dfrac{2\times 1+5\times b}{2+5}\right)=(6,-3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{20+5a}{7},\dfrac{2+5b}{7}\right)=(6,-3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{20+5a}{7}=6,~~~~~\dfrac{2+5b}{7}=-3\\\\\\\Rightarrow 20+5a=42,~~~~\Rightarrow 2+5b=-21\\\\\\\Rightarrow 5a=22,~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow 5b=-23\\\\\\\Rightarrow a=4.4,~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow b=-4.6.

So, the co-ordinates of F are (4.4, -4.6).

Now, since ADEF is a square, and the diagonals of a square bisect each other.

So, the mid-points of both the diagonals are same.

That is,

\textup{mid-point of DF}=\textup{mid-point of AE}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{c+4.4}{2},\dfrac{d-4.6}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{2.8+6}{2},\dfrac{-3-3}{2}\right)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{c+4.4}{2},\dfrac{d-4.6}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{8.8}{2},\dfrac{-6}{2}\right)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{c+4.4}{2}=\dfrac{8.8}{2},~~~~~~\dfrac{d-4.6}{2}=-\dfrac{6}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow c+4.4=8.8,~~~~~\Rightarrow d-4.6=-6\\\\\Rightarrow c=4.4,~~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow d=-1.4.

So, the co-ordinates of D are (4.4, -1.4).

Thus, the co-ordinates of F are (4.4, -4.6) and the co-ordinates of D are (4.4, -1.4).
