See attached photo for answers. let me know if you are doing rounding to a specific decimal.
772 pounds of food. 193 times 4
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.
To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:
midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.
x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2
y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).
There are several approaches.
(5/3)x^2 - 5 = 0 has the coefficients a=5/3, b=0 and c = -5.
Thus, the quadratic formula would be appropriate here:
-0 plus or minus sqrt(0^2 - 4(5/3)(-5) )
x = -------------------------------------------------------
2(5/3)
plus or minus sqrt(100/3)
= ------------------------------------
10/3
3 10
= ------* ----------- = sqrt(3) (answer)
10 sqrt(3)
