The x-value of a midpoint is the average of the x-values of the ends.
The y-value of a midpoint is the average of the y-values of the ends.

The x-value of the end at b is 20 and it's 18 at the middle.
x has decreased by 2 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 2 during the other half of the line.
The x-value at the other end, at a, then, is 16.

The y-value of the end at b is 4 and it's -2 at the middle.
y has decreased by 6 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 6 during the other half of the line.
The y-value at the other end, at a, then, is -8.

The other end of the line, at a, is at  (16, -8) .

The sum of the coordinates at a (p+q) is  8  .

Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4(x + 6) - 2x = 12 ← distribute and simplify left side

4x + 24 - 2x = 12

2x + 24 = 12 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

2x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 6

Rider ordered 2 hot dogs and 5 hush puppies. His total was $4.70. Write an equation in standard form for this relation, using x
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

2x + 5y = 4.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Rider ordered 2 hot dogs and 5 hush puppies. His total was $4.70. Write an equation in standard form for this relation, using

From the above question, note that

x = cost of a hot dog

y = cost of a hush puppy.

Our Standard Equation is given as

2 × x + 5 × y= $4.70

2x + 5y = 4.70

Use algebra to simplify the expression before evaluating the limit. In particular, factor the highest power of n from the numera
bija089 [108]

Answer:

a) {2/n²-7/n+9}/{8+2/n-6/n²}

b) 9/8

c) The sequence converges

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the limit of the function

limn→[infinity]2−7n+9n²/8n²+2n−6

To simplify the function given, we will have to factor out the highest power of n which is n² from the numerator and the denominator. The function will then become;

2−7n+9n²/8n²+2n−6

= n²{2/n²-7/n+9}/n²{8+2/n-6/n²}

The n² at the numerator will then cancel out the n² at the denominator to have resulting simplified equation as;

{2/n²-7/n+9}/{8+2/n-6/n²}

Evaluating the limit of the resulting equation will give;

limn→[infinity] {2/n²-7/n+9}/{8+2/n-6/n²}

Note that limn→[infinity] a/n = 0 where a is any constant.

Therefore;

limn→[infinity] {2/n²-7/n+9}/{8+2/n-6/n²}

= (0-0+9)/(8+0-0)

= 9/8

Since the limit of the sequence gives a finite value which is 9/8, thus the sequence in question is a convergent sequence.

The limit of a sequence only diverges if the limit of such sequence is an infinite value.

Determine a scalar c so that the angle between a = i + cj and b = i + j is 45°.​
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

c=0

Step-by-step explanation:

ATQ a.b=|a||b|sin(45)

1+c=sqrt(1+c^2)*sqrt(2)*1/sqrt(2)

1+c=sqrt(1+c^2)

(1+c)^2=(1+c^2)

2c=0, c=0
