The distance between two points, a and b, on a number line is expressed as
|a – b|, where a and b are rational numbers. Think about locating a point halfway between a and b on a number line. How can you find the coordinate for such a point? Develop a formula in terms of a and b that you can use to find the coordinate. Your formula must work for positive and negative values of a and b. Does absolute value play a role in your formula? Why or why not? Under what circumstances might your formula be used in the real world? Explain.

Discuss how you can find the coordinate of a point located other fractional distances from a to b (or from b to a). For example, locate a point three-fourths of the distance from a to b. What kind of calculation is involved?

Answers

Answer 1

The distance between two points is the number of units between them.

Halfway points (a) and (b)

To locate a point halfway points (a) and (b), we use the following steps

Calculate the absolute difference between both pointsDivide the absolute difference by 2Add the quotient to the smaller point.

Assume the smaller value is (a), the point (P) halfway points (a) and (b) would be

[tex]P = a + \frac{|a - b|}{2}[/tex]

Take for instance, a = 5, and b = 10.

The halfway point would be:

[tex]P = 5 + \frac{|5 - 10|}{2}[/tex]

[tex]P = 5 + \frac{5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]P = 5 + 2.5[/tex]

[tex]P = 7.5[/tex]

The halfway point between 5 and 10 is 7.5

The formula works for negative values, and absolute values are used to return the actual difference between both points

Real world circumstance

The formula can be used to calculate the halfway distance between a school gate and the school library (as an instance)

Fractional distance

To determine the fractional distance, we simply replace the 1/2 in the original formula with the appropriate fraction.

Take for instance, three-fourths from (a) to (b) would be:

[tex]P = a + \frac{3|a - b|}{4}[/tex]

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = - 1/2 x + 1 and passes through the point (8, - 1)? A y = −1/2 x + 8 B y = 2x - 17 C y = −1/2 x − 2 D y = 2x - 1

Answers

Answer is B y = 2x - 17

First find the negative reciprocal of the gradient for y = -1/2 x + 1 to find the perpendicular line gradient.

-1/2 = 2

Gradient of perpendicular line = 2

Perpendicular line is y=2x + c

Substitute (8,-1) into the line to find the y-intercept (c).

-1 = 2(8) + c
-1 = 16 + c
c = -17

Therefore, the perpendicular line is y = 2x - 17.

Q). A man ₹ x. He gave half of it to his wife, 1/4th to his son and ₹1200 of his daughter. Form an equation and also find x.​

Answers

Given that

Money of a man = Rs. X

Money given to his wife = half of the money

= Rs. X/2

Money given to his son = 1/4th of the money

⇛Rs. X/4

Money given to his daughter = Rs. 1200

Total money

⇛ (X/2)+(X/4)+1200 = X

⇛ (2X+X+4800/4 = X

⇛ (3X+4800)/4 = X

⇛ (3X+4800) = 4X

⇛4X=3X+4800

⇛4X-3X = 4800

⇛X = 4800

⇛X-4800 = 0 is the required equation

⇛X = 4800

The money of the man = Rs. 4800 Ans.

The expression -22x + 3y = 6 in the form ax + by + c = 0 is -2x + 3y - 6 = 0

Linear Equations

The given equation is:

-2x + 3y = 6

Comparing the equation above with ax + by + c = 0

Rewrite -2x + 3y = 6 in the form ax + by + c = 0

-2x + 3y - 6 = 0

If -2x + 3y - 6 = 0 is compared with ax + by + c = 0

a = -2, b = 3, c = -6

Therefore, the expression-22x + 3y = 6 in the form ax + by + c = 0 is -2x + 3y - 6 = 0

Which function represents the following graph? On a coordinate plane, a cubic function has an inflection point at (negative 3, 3) and crosses the x-axis at (0, 4. 5). Y = StartRoot x minus 3 EndRoot 3 y = StartRoot x 3 EndRoot 3 y = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x minus 3 EndRoot 3 y = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x 3 EndRoot 3.

Answers

The function represents the graph is (d) [tex]y = \sqrt[3]{x+3} + 3[/tex]

The points on the graph are given as:

[tex](x,y) = (-3,3)[/tex] --- the inflection point

[tex](x,y) = (0,4.5)[/tex] --- the y-intercept

The function that satisfy the above points is:

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{x+3} + 3[/tex]

The proof is as follows:

At the inflection point, we have the x value to be -3.

So, the function becomes

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{x+3} + 3[/tex]

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{-3+3} + 3[/tex]

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{0} + 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 0+ 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 3[/tex] ---- the y-value at the inflection point is true for x = -3

Also, at the y-intercept, we have the x-value to be 0

So, the function becomes

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{x+3} + 3[/tex]

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{0+3} + 3[/tex]

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{3} + 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 1.45+ 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 4.45[/tex] ---- the y-value at the y-intercept is true for x = 0

Hence, the function represents the graph is (d) [tex]y = \sqrt[3]{x+3} + 3[/tex]

(1)Pradnya had 5 dozen copies. She gave half of the copies to Anushka and 1/5 times of the copies to Prajwal. How many copies are remaining with her ?
(2) Shrikant bought a watch at Rs. 900. He gave equal number of notes of denomination Rs. 10, Rs. 20, Rs. 50 and Rs. 100. Find the number of notes of Rs. 20 that he gave to the shopkeeper.
(3) Mangalakaku purchased 6016 saplings of lemon. She planted 47 saplings in each row. How many rows will be formed of those saplings?​

Answers

Explanation:

(i)Total number of copies are at Pradnya = 5 dozen

We know that 1 dozen = 12

⇛5×12 = 60

Given copies to Anushka = half of 60

⇛60/2 = 30 copies

Given copies to Prajwala = 1/5 the copies

⇛ (1/5)×60

⇛60/5

⇛12 copies

Total number of given copies = 30+12 = 42

Remaining copies = 60-42 = 18

Answer: Remaining copies = 18

(ii)Let the number of Rs. 10 notes be X

So given that

all are equal in number

So, Number of Rs 20 notes = Number of Rs. 50 notes = Number of Rs. 100 = X

Total number of notes

= X+X+X+X = 4X

Value of Rs. 10 = 10X

Value of Rs. 20 = 20X

Value of Rs. 50 = 50X

Value of Rs. 100 = 100X

Total amount = Rs. 900

⇛10X +20X +50X+100X = 900

⇛180X = 900

⇛X = 900/180

⇛X = 5

Number of Rs. 10 notes = Number of Rs. 20 notes = Answer: number of Rs. 50 notes = Number of Rs. 100 = 5

(iii) Let the number of rows be X

Number of saplings per each row = 47

Total number of saplings of X rows = 47X

According to the given problem,

Total number of saplings purchased by Mangalakaku = 6016

⇛47X = 6016

⇛X = 6016/47

⇛X = 128

Answer: Total number of rows = 128

Solve: 3x²+9x+6 = 0
Thank you.​

Answers

Given quadrant equation:

3x² + 9x + 6 = 0

Here we see that,

→ Product of coefficient of x² and constant term = 3 × 6 = 18

→ Sum of coefficient of x² ans constant term = 3 + 6 = 9

So the given equation can be written as,

⇛3x² + 6x + 3x + 6 = 0

On taking the common terms, we get

⇛3x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0

On grouping the common terms, we get

⇛(3x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

Here either (3x + 3) = 0 or (x + 2) = 0. So,

⇛3x + 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

⇛3x = -3 or x = -2

⇛x = -3/3 or x = -2

⇛x = -1 or x = -2
