J is the midpoint of HK¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ . What are HJ, JK, and HK?

Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.

1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3

2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2 
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25

JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25

3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

-----

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50

Which function is the inverse of f(x) = –5x – 4?
makvit [3.9K]
Y = -5x - 4
switch x and y and solve for y
x = -5y - 4
x+4 = -5y
(x+4)/ -5 = y^-1 ( the inverse)

Find a third degree polynomial function with real coefficients and with zeros 4 and 3+i
Anvisha [2.4K]
X = 4 ; x = 3 + i ; x = 3 - i

(If you get a zero that is adding or subtracting, you always need to write it twice but change the sign do they cancel out)

f(x) = (x-4)(x-3-i)(x-3+i)

Distributing the last two parenthesis first is always the best way to start off

(x-3-i)(x-3+i) has (x-3) in common so it can be separated to

(x-3)^2 + (-i)(+i)

(x^2 - 6x + 9) ; (-i)(+i) is always +1
(x^2 - 6x + 9) + 1
(x^2 - 6x + 10)

Now multiply this with (x-4)
x^3 - 6x^2 + 10x
- 4x^2 + 24x - 40

x^3 - 10x^2 + 34x - 40 = f(x)
