Answer:
The constant between two consecutive terms is called the common difference. The common difference is the number added to any one term of an arithmetic sequence that generates the subsequent term.
The answer for the question is
<u>Given</u>:
Given that the graph OACE.
The coordinates of the vertices OACE are O(0,0), A(2m, 2n), C(2p, 2r) and E(2t, 0)
We need to determine the midpoint of EC.
<u>Midpoint of EC:</u>
The midpoint of EC can be determined using the formula,

Substituting the coordinates E(2t,0) and C(2p, 2r), we get;

Simplifying, we get;

Dividing, we get;

Thus, the midpoint of EC is (t + p, r)
Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2| x - 3 | + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
2| x - 3 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
| x - 3 | = 6
The absolute value function always returns a positive value but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
x - 3 = 6 OR -( x - 3) = 6
x - 3 = 6 ( add 3 to both sides )
x = 9
OR
-( x - 3) = 6 ← distribute left side
- x + 3 = 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
- x = 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 3
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
x = 9 → 2|9 - 3| + 5 = 2|6| + 5 = (2 × 6) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 ← True
x = - 3 → 2|- 3 - 3| + 5 = 2| - 6 | + 5 = (2 × 6) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 ← True
Hence x = 9 or x = - 3 are the solutions → a
