Substitute the value of the variable into the expression and simplify 37
This problem is about the distance between points, in this case, we have to unidimensional coordinates, that is, point O is at -2, and Point V is at 1/2.
It's important to know that the proper way to find the distance here is by subtraction, we need to subtract the final points and the initial point. In math, such subtraction is called "differential" or "variation", just a fancy name.
<h2>Therefore, the distance from O to B is 2.5 units.</h2>
Answer:
The value of AM = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
As point M is the midpoint of AB, so
Given
AB = 8x - 50
AM = 2x + 9
so substituting AB = 8x - 50 and AM = 2x + 9 in the equation AB = AM + BM
AB = AM + BM
8x - 50 = 2x + 9 + BM
8x - 2x - 50 - 9 = BM
6x - 50 = BM
Thus,
BM = 6x - 59
As
AM = BM
so substituting AM = 2x + 9 and BM = 6x - 59 in the equation AM = BM
2x + 9 = 6x - 59
switch sides
6x - 59 = 2x + 9
subtract 2x from both sides
6x - 2x - 59 = 2x + 9 - 2x
4x - 59 = 9
add 59 to both sides
4x - 59 + 59 = 9 + 59
4x = 68
divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 68/4
x = 17
Thus, the value of x = 17
Therefore, the value of AM will be:
AM = 2x + 9 = 2(17) + 9 = 34 + 9 = 43
Hence, the value of AM = 43
<u>Verification:</u>
AM = BM
2x + 9 = 6x - 59
2(17) + 9 = 6(17) - 59
34 + 9 = 102 - 59
43 = 43
and
AB = 8x - 50 = 8(17) - 50 = 86
Answer:
√17
Step-by-step explanation:
An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Or in other words, an irrational number can't be expressed as a fraction. You really cant divide one integer by another integer to get √17, so that makes it an irrational number.
