The point R(-3,a,-1) is the midpoint of the line segment jointing the points P(1,2,b)
and Q(c,-7,4)
Find the values of:
a=
b=
C=

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The values are:

a = -5/2

b = -6

c = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P = (x₁, y₁, z₁) = (1, 2, b)  

Q =  (x₂, y₂, z₂) = (c, -7, 4)  

As the point R(-3, a, -1) is the midpoint of the line segment jointing the points P(1,2,b)  and Q(c,-7,4), so

m = R = (x, y, z) = (-3, a, -1)

Using the mid-point formula

[tex]m\:=\:\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\:\frac{y_1+y_2}{2},\:\frac{z_1+z_2}{2}\right)[/tex]

given

(x₁, y₁, z₁) = (1, 2, b) = P

(x₂, y₂, z₂) = (c, -7, 4) = Q

m = (x, y, z) = (-3, a, -1) = R

substituting the values in the mid-point formula

[tex]m\:=\:\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\:\frac{y_1+y_2}{2},\:\frac{z_1+z_2}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(x,\:y,\:z\right)\:=\:\left(\frac{1+c}{2},\:\frac{2+\left(-7\right)}{2},\:\frac{b+4}{2}\right)[/tex]

as (x, y, z) = (-3, a, -1), so

[tex]\left(-3,\:a,\:-1\right)\:=\:\left(\frac{1+c}{2},\:\frac{2+\left(-7\right)}{2},\:\frac{b+4}{2}\right)[/tex]

so solving 'c'

-3 = (1+c) / (2)

-3 × 2 = 1+c

1+c = -6

c = -6 - 1

c = -7

solving 'a'

a = (2+(-7)) / 2

2a = 2-7

2a = -5

a = -5/2

solving b

-1 = (b+4) / 2

-2 = b+4

b+4 = -2

b = -2-4

b = -6

Thus, the values are:

a = -5/2

b = -6

c = -7

Verification:

[tex]\left(x,\:y,\:z\right)\:=\:\left(\frac{1+c}{2},\:\frac{2+\left(-7\right)}{2},\:\frac{b+4}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(-3,\:a,\:-1\right)\:=\:\left(\frac{1+c}{2},\:\frac{2+\left(-7\right)}{2},\:\frac{b+4}{2}\right)[/tex]

put a = -5/2, b = -6, c = -7

[tex]\left(-3,\:-\frac{5}{2},\:-1\right)\:=\:\left(\frac{1+\left(-7\right)}{2},\:-\frac{5}{2},\:\frac{\left(-6\right)+4}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(-3,\:-\frac{5}{2},\:-1\right)\:=\:\left(\frac{-6}{2},\:-\frac{5}{2},\:\frac{-2}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(-3,\:-\frac{5}{2},\:-1\right)\:=\:\left(-3,\:-\frac{5}{2},\:-1\right)[/tex]

to compound 50% solution in which proportion must 95% sol and 30% sol be mixed to make
500 ml

Answers

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of 95% sol = a ml and

the amount of 30% sol = b ml.

So, the total amount of the compound=a+b=500 ml

As the compound is 50% solution, so

95% of a + 30% of b= 50% of (a+b)

(95/100)a+(30/100)b=(50/100)(a+b) [from equation (i)]

95a + 30b = 50(a+b)

95(a/b)+30 = 50(a+b)/b [dividing both sides by b]

95(a/b)+30 = 50(a/b+1)

95(a/b)+30 = 50(a/b)+50

95(a/b)-50(a/b)=50-30

45(a/b)=20

a/b=20/45

a/b=4/9

Therefore, a:b=4:9

As a+b= 500 ml, so the amount of 95% sol = [tex]\frac {500}{13}\times 4=\frac{2000}{13}=153.85[/tex] ml

and the amount of 95% sol = [tex]\frac {500}{13}\times 9=\frac{4500}{13}=346.15[/tex] ml

Hence, the proportion of 95% sol and 30% sol to make a compound of 50% sol must be 4/9.

Answer:

  44 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given f(1) = 28.

Using the recursive formula ...

  f(2) = f(1) +8 = 28 +8 = 36

  f(3) = f(2) +8 = 36 +8 = 44

If you’re having trouble with your nines times table use the finger trick. But it only works for 9x1-9-10 so hold up your hands in front of you and your palms facing towards you. Since you’re using 9x9 put your ninth finger down and the amount of fingers on your left would be the amount of tens so their would be 8 tens meaning 80 and the amount of fingers on the right side of the finger that is down would be the ones so there is one finger on the right. After that, you can just add them up. 80+1= 81 if you need another example just comment on this and say if you’re confused.:)
