Answer:
8. c. (-1, -1)
9. a. (-6, -1)
b. True
Step-by-step Explanation:
8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:
let 


Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C
and 
Solve for each:












Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)
9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:
let 


and 
Solve for each:












Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)
b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.
58 - 47 = 11
(written out in spoken words)
fifty-eight minus forty-seven equals eleven
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Im sorry i dont know what im supposed to be answering
step-by-step explanation:
Note that f(x) as given is <em>not</em> invertible. By definition of inverse function,


which is a cubic polynomial in
with three distinct roots, so we could have three possible inverses, each valid over a subset of the domain of f(x).
Choose one of these inverses by restricting the domain of f(x) accordingly. Since a polynomial is monotonic between its extrema, we can determine where f(x) has its critical/turning points, then split the real line at these points.
f'(x) = 3x² - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = ±1/√3
So, we have three subsets over which f(x) can be considered invertible.
• (-∞, -1/√3)
• (-1/√3, 1/√3)
• (1/√3, ∞)
By the inverse function theorem,

where f(a) = b.
Solve f(x) = 2 for x :
x³ - x + 2 = 2
x³ - x = 0
x (x² - 1) = 0
x (x - 1) (x + 1) = 0
x = 0 or x = 1 or x = -1
Then
can be one of
• 1/f'(-1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (-∞, -1/√3);
• 1/f'(0) = -1, if we restrict to (-1/√3, 1/√3); or
• 1/f'(1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (1/√3, ∞)
