F divides HJ in the ratio 3:1. If H = (-11,7) and J = (5,3), what are the
coordinates of F?

The coordinates of HF are (1, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the line are;

The coordinate of the end points are H = (-11, 7), and J = (5, 3)

The ratio by which the point F divides the line = 3:1

The segments in the line are HF, and FJ

Therefore;

The fraction of the length of HJ that is represented by HF = 3/(3 + 1) × HJ = 3/4 × HJ

HF = 3/4 × HJ

Which gives the coordinates of the point F as follows;

Coordinate of F = (-11 +(5 - (-11))×3/4, 7 + (3 - 7)×3/4) =  (1, 4)

The coordinates of F are (1, 4)

We check the length of HF, from the equation for the length to of a line to get;

Similarly, we check the length of HJ, to get;

The length of HF = 3·√(17)

The length of HJ = 4·√(17)

Therefore, from HF = 3/4× HJ, we have;

HF = 3/4 × 4·√(17) = 3·√(17)

Therefore, the coordinates of HF are (1, 4)

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
