Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of:
(-1,7) and (3,-2)

Give coordinates as decimals where appropriate.

Answer:

  -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a polynomial function are its x-intercepts, the values of x that make the polynomial zero. Each zero x=p corresponds to a linear factor (x-p) of the polynomial.

A monic polynomial is one that has a leading coefficient of 1. For a monic polynomial of degree n, the coefficient of the term of degree n-1 is the opposite of the sum of all of the zeros. The constant term of any odd-degree monic polynomial is the opposite of the product of the zeros.

The given polynomial can be made monic by dividing by its leading coefficient:

  (2x^3 -x^2 -5x -2)/2 = x^3 -(1/2)x^2 -(5/2)x -1

The given polynomial has degree 3, so we're interested in the coefficient of the x^2 term. That coefficient is -1/2, so the sum of zeros will be ...

  sum of zeros = -(-1/2) = 1/2

If z represents the third zero, then we have the sum ...

  1/2 = -1 +2 +z

  z = -1/2 . . . . . . subtract 1 from both sides

The third zero is -1/2.

The given polynomial is of odd degree, so the product of the zeros is the opposite of the constant.

  (-1)(2)(z) = -(-1)

  z = 1/(-2) = -1/2 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of z

The third zero is -1/2.

Of course, a graph will show all of the (real) zeros. The attached graph from a graphing calculator shows the third zero is -1/2.

Answer:

11 17/20t

Step-by-step explanation:

add the whole numbers first then add the numbers in fraction then there you get your answer.

Answer:3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of total area mowed = (3/5) + (1/4) = 17/20

Therefore fraction of total area left = 1 - (17/20) = (20/20) - (17/20) = 3/20

The triangle ABE and triangle DEC are similar by AAA option third is correct.

It is defined as the law to prove that the two triangles have the same shape, but it is not compulsory to have the same size. The ratio of the corresponding sides is in the same proportions and the corresponding angles are congruent.

We have given two triangles in the picture.

As we can see in the triangle ABE

Angle ABE = 90 degree or right angle

Similarly, in a triangle DEC

Angle DEC = 90 degree or right angle

Angle ABE = Angle DEC

Angle EAB = Angle CDE

If the corresponding two angles are the same as two triangles then the third the angle will be the same.

Angle AEB = Angle DCE

The triangle ABE and triangle DEC are similar to AAA

Thus, the triangle ABE and triangle DEC are similar by AAA option third is correct.

The location of point B that partitions A(3, 4) and C(5, 11) in the ratio 2:3 is (3.8, 6.8).

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.

Let b = (x, y) represent the location of the point B, hence:

x = (2 / (2 + 3))(5 - 3) + 3 = 3.8

y = (2 / (2 + 3))(11 - 4) + 4 = 6.8

The location of point B that partitions A(3, 4) and C(5, 11) in the ratio 2:3 is (3.8, 6.8).

The equation √(x – 1) – 5 = x – 8 has the solution 2 and 5. But the valid solution for x will be 5.

The complete question is attached below.

The solution of the equation means the value of the unknown or variable.

The equation is given below.

√(x – 1) – 5 = x – 8

Add 5 on both sides, then we have

√(x – 1) = x – 3

Square on both sides, then

            x – 1 = (x – 3)²

           x – 1 = x² – 6x + 9

x² – 7x + 10 = 0

Then the factor of the equation will be

        x² – 7x + 10 = 0

x² – 5x – 2x + 10 = 0

      (x – 5)(x – 2) = 0

                         x = 5, 2

Then the valid solution will be 5.

First let's define bisected

To bisect an angle means to split an angle exactly in half. Both sides of a bisected angle are equal to each other

The original angle (48 degrees) is bisected so we must divide 48 by 2 to find a degree of each angle

48 ÷ 2 = 24

The measure of each new angle is 24 degrees

Answer:

t=4+6n

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 10

d=6

in general

tn = a + (n-1)*d

tn = 10 + (n-1)*6

tn = 10 + 6n - 6

tn = 4 + 6n

So if n = 5 then

t5= 4+6*5

t5= 4 + 30

t5 = 34 which agrees with your givens.

Answer:

-2.5 < x < 71

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see a 'z' here, so I'll use x from the picture.

You would line up your values as such:

0 < 2x+5 < 71

You have a zero at the beginning because even without having an x value, your outcome would still be 5.

Subtract 5 from all sides.

-5 < 2x < 66

You now divide by two on both sides.

-2.5 < x < 33.

Which is your final answer.

You cannot go over 33, since 71 is your largest angle, and having something like say, 34, would give you 73.

-2.5 is your lowest value since if you went lower, you would have a negative angle, which isn't possible.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{x-22}{(x+2)(x-4)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the numerator/denominator of the first fraction by (x - 4)

multiply the numerator/denominator of the second fraction by (x + 2)

this ensures that the fractions have a common denominator

[tex]\frac{4}{x+2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{3}{x-4}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{4(x-4)}{(x+2)(x-4)}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{3(x+2)}{(x+2)(x-4)}[/tex] ← subtract numerators leaving the common denominator
