Midpoint formula : (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2)/2
(-6,3)....x1 = -6 and y1 = 3
(4,-2)...x2 = 4 and y2 = -2
now sub
m = (-6 + 4) / 2, (3 - 2) / 2
m = (-2/2, 1/2)
m = (- 1, 0.5) <==

Vanessa has scored 45, 32, and 37 on her three math quizzes. She will take one more quiz and she wants a quiz average of at leas

zhenek [66]

45 + 32 + 37 = 114

114÷3 = 38

4 total quizzes,

for a 40 average on 4 quizzes she needs 40*4 = 160 total points

for 3 quizzes she has 45 +32 +37 = 114 points

160-114 = 46, she needs at least a 46 on the 4th quiz

Find the x-coordinates of any relative extrema and inflection point(s) for the function f(x) = 6x(1/3) + 3x(4/3). You must justi

Applying our power rule gets us our first derivative,

$\rm f'(x)=6\frac13x^{-2/3}+3\cdot\frac43x^{1/3}$

simplifying a little bit,

$\rm f'(x)=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}$

looking for critical points,

$\rm 0=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}$

We can apply more factoring.
I hope this next step isn't too confusing.
We want to factor out the smallest power of x from both terms,
and also the 2 from each.

$0=2x^{-2/3}\left(1+2x\right)$

When you divide x^(-2/3) out of x^(1/3),
it leaves you with x^(3/3) or simply x.

Then apply your Zero-Factor Property,

$\rm 0=2x^{-2/3}\qquad\qquad\qquad 0=(1+2x)$

and solve for x in each case to find your critical points.

Apply your First Derivative Test to further classify these points. You should end up finding that x=-1/2 is an relative extreme value, while x=0 is not.

Let's come back to this,

$\rm f'(x)=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}$

and take our second derivative.

$\rm f''(x)=-\frac43x^{-5/3}+\frac43x^{-2/3}$

Looking for inflection points,

$\rm 0=-\frac43x^{-5/3}+\frac43x^{-2/3}$

Again, pulling out the smaller power of x, and fractional part,

$\rm 0=-\frac43x^{-5/3}\left(1-x\right)$

And again, apply your Zero-Factor Property, setting each factor to zero and solving for x in each case. You should find that x=0 and x=1 are possible inflection points.

Applying your Second Derivative Test should verify that both points are in fact inflection points, locations where the function changes concavity.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 3(3x - 6) = 5(x - 3) + 15

Expand the parenthesis:

2 + 9x - 18 = 5x - 15 + 15

Simplify:

9x - 16 = 5x
