Let AB be the directed line segment beginning at point A(2 , 3) and ending at point B(10 , 18). Find the point P on the line segment that partitions the line segment into the segments AP and PB at a ratio of 1:3.

What is the distance between (–2 1/2,-3) and (1, –3)?

The blue whale is the largest animal living on the earth. the average blue whale measures 100 feet long (30 meters) and weighs 300,000 pounds (136,000 kilograms). a whale’s head is 1⁄3 of the length of its body. a new baby whale is 1⁄4 the length of a grown whale. the average man is 1⁄17 the length of a blue whale, and 1⁄1,818 its weight. a human baby measures 1⁄4 of the length of an adult. calculate the following information: how long is a whale’s head? how long is a new baby whale? how tall is the average man? how much does the average man weigh? how tall is the average human baby?

The volume of a spherical hot air balloon v(r) = 4 3 ? r3 changes as its radius changes. the radius is a function of time given by r(t) = 3t. find the instantaneous rate of change of the volume with respect to t at t = 2.
