Example: Find the coordinates of point P along the directed line segment AB, A (3,4) and B (8, 14), so that the ratio of AP to PB is 3/2
Step 1: Graph the line segment and label the points.
Step 2: Find the whole number of equal parts
you will be partitioning.
Ratio of AP to PB is 3/2

.
This means...
AP will have
parts

PB will have
parts

So, the whole number of equal
parts will be 5. This means we will cut the line segment AB into 5 parts.

James is playing his favorite game at the arcade. after playing the game 3 times, he has 8 tokens remaining. he initially had 20 tokens, and the game costs the same number of tokens each time. the number t of tokens james has is a function of g, the number of games he plays. write the function’s formula? t=

Aswimming pool measures 22ft by 12ft and is 4ft deep. if the pool is being filled at 2.5 cubic ft per minute, how long will it take to fill the pool?

The number of members f(x) in a local swimming club increased by 30% every year over a period of x years. the function below shows the relationship between f(x) and x: f(x) = 10(1.3)xwhich of the following graphs best represents the function? graph of f of x equals 1.3 multiplied by 10 to the power of x graph of exponential function going up from left to right in quadrant 1 through the point 0, 0 and continuing towards infinity graph of f of x equals 10 multiplied by 1.3 to the power of x graph of f of x equals 1.3 to the power of x
