Answer:
a) 5units
b) (4.5, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the coordinate of P and Q be P(3, 2) and Q(6, 6)
PQ can be gotten using the distance formula;
PQ =√(6-2)²+(6-3)²
PQ = √4²+3²
PQ =√16+9
PQ =√25
PQ = 5units
Midpoint M is expressed as;
M(X, Y) = {(x1+x2)/2, y1+y2/2}
X = x1+x2/2
X = 3+6/2
X= 9/2
X = 4.5
Similarly;
Y = y1+y2/2
Y = 2+6/2
Y = 8/2
Y = 4
Hence the midpoint of PQ is (4.5, 4)
The population of the bacteria 96 minutes from now is 12.
It’s a function because the number doesn’t repeat
Equation 1 ==> y - x = -13
Equation 2 ==> -4x + 3y = -51
3(y - x) = 3(-13)
Equation 3 ==> 3y - 3x = -39
Equation 2 - 3
= (3y - 3y) + ( -4x - (-3x) ) = -51 - (-39)
-x = -12
x = 12
Substitude x into equation 1
y - 12 = -13
y = -1
