Points (5,2), (1,0) and (a,5) lie on the same straight line. Then the value of a is a) 15 b) 13 c)11 d)9​

Answers

Answer 1

Hello,

the line passing through (5,2) and (1,0) has for equation:

y-0=(x-1)*(-2)/(-4) or y=x/2-0.5

if y= 5 then 5=x/2-0.5 ==> 5.5=x/2 ==> x=11

Answer C

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points lie on the same line then the slope between consecutive points will be the same.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 0)

m = [tex]\frac{0-2}{1-5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2}{-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Calculate the slope again and equate to [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (a, 5)

m = [tex]\frac{5-0}{a-1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , so

[tex]\frac{5}{a-1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

a - 1 = 10 ( add 1 to both sides )

a = 11

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram.

Prove: ∠A and ∠D are supplementary.

Parallelogram A B C D is shown.

By the definition of a parallelogram, AB∥DC. AD is a transversal between these sides, so ∠A and ∠D are
angles. Because AB and DC are

by the same-side interior angles theorem. Therefore, ∠A and ∠D are supplementary.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2(x-6)(x-10)}{(x-4)(x-5)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In essence, one needs to work their way backwards to solve this problem. Use the information to construct the function.

The function has verticle asymptotes at (x = 4) and (x = 5). This means that the denominator must have (x - 4) and (x - 5) in it. This is because a verticle asymptote indicates that the function cannot have a value at these points, the function jumps at these points. This is because the denominator of a fraction cannot be (0), the values (x - 4) and (x - 5) ensure this. Since if (x) equals (4) or (5) in this situation, the denominator would be (0) because of the zero product property (this states that any number times zero equals zero). So far we have assembled the function as the following:

[tex]\frac{()}{(x-4)(x-5)}[/tex]

The function has x-intercepts at (6, 0), and (0, 10). This means that the numerator must equal (0) when (x) is (6) or (10). Using similar logic that was applied to find the denominator, one can conclude that the numerator must be ([tex](x - 6)(x-10)[/tex]). Now one has this much of the function assembled

[tex]\frac{(x-6)(x-10)}{(x-4)(x-5)}[/tex]

Finally one has to include the y-intercept of (0, 120). Currently, the y-intercept is (60). This is found by multiplying the constants together. (6 * 10) equals (60). One has to multiply this by (2) to get (120). Therefore, one must multiply the numerator by (2) in order to make the y-intercept (120). Thus the final function is the following:

[tex]\frac{2(x-6)(x-10)}{(x-4)(x-5)}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

you need to learn how to "prime factor" numbers....

primes are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17....

they go on forever. ALL whole numbers can be "broken down" into a bunch of primes multiplied together.

take the fractions (top and bottom) and start dividing them bu the smallest prime, and going up until all the numbers multiplied make the original number...

15 = 3 * 5

24= 2 * 12 = 2 * 2 * 6 = 2* 2* * 2 * 6

thus   [tex]\frac{15}{24}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3 * 5 }{2* 2* 2* 3}[/tex]  now just cancel all the SAME numbers from to to bottom

"pair them up" .... in this case only one of the threes in the bottom "takes out" one of the threes in the top

result [tex]\frac{5}{2*2*2 } = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[tex]\frac{21}{35}[/tex]

21= 3 * 7

35= 5* 7

Answers

Answer:

20 children

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that 1 pint is equal to 2 cups. Since the jug holds 10 pints of milk, we can convert that to cups by multiplying by 2. We realize that the jug holds 20 pints of milk.

Since each child needs one cup of milk to be satisfied, we can state that the jug can satisfy 20 children.

Angle A and B are supplementary angles. The measure of angle B is twice the measure of angle A minus 24. Find the measure of the angle A and B.

Answers

Answer:

A = 58

B = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 180                           Supplementary angles

B = 2A - 24                           Given

Substitute for B in the first equation

A + 2A - 24  = 180

3A - 24 = 180                         Add 24 to both sides

3A = 180 + 24                        Combine the right

3A = 204                               Divide both sides by 3

A = 204/3

A = 68

B = 2A - 24

B = 2*68 - 24

B = 136 - 24

B = 112

John finds that the sum of two numbers is 24 and their difference is one sixth of the
sum. Find the smallest number between the two numbers.

Answers

Given:

The sum of two numbers is 24 and their difference is one sixth of the sum.

To find:

The smaller number between the two numbers.

Solution:

Let x and y be the two numbers where x>y.

The sum of two numbers is 24.

[tex]x+y=24[/tex]           ...(i)

Their difference is one sixth of the sum.

[tex]x-y=\dfrac{1}{6}\times 24[/tex]

[tex]x-y=4[/tex]              ...(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]2x=28[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{28}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=14[/tex]

Putting [tex]x=14[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]14+y=24[/tex]

[tex]y=24-14[/tex]

[tex]y=10[/tex]

The two numbers are 14 and 10.

Therefore, the smaller number between the two numbers is 10.

Cost of each pencil = $12.5

Cost of each eraser = $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of eraser bought = 3

Number of pencil bought = 2

Total amount paid = $47.50

Cost of one pencil and one eraser = $20

Find:

Each cost

Computation:

Let;

Cost of each eraser = e

Cost of each pencil = p

So,

e + p = 20

e = 20 - p .................................... eq1

3e + 2p = 47.50

3(20 - p) + 2p = 47.50

60 - 3p + 2p = 47.50

-p = -12.5

Cost of each pencil = $12.5

e = 20 - p

e = 20 - 12.5

e = 7.5

Cost of each eraser = $7.5

First remove the % sign: 5

Where is the decimal? Here : 5.00

Now move the decimal to the left two places. Fill the gaps with zeros : .05

Another way to do it is by divide the number by 100. Use a calculator if necessary.

Example 2: 6.5%

Move decimal two places to left: .065

Example 3: .56%

Move decimal to places to the left:  .0056

Decimals to percentages. Do the exact opposite. Move decimal to places to the right then add the % sign.
