Answer: The required co-ordinates of the midpoint are (-3, -1).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the endpoints of the line segment LM are L(-1,1) and M(-5,-3).

We are to find the co-ordinates of the midpoint of segment LM.

We know that,

the co-ordinates of the midpoint of a line segment with and points (a, b) and (c, d) are given by

$\left(\dfrac{a+c}{2},\dfrac{b+d}{2}\right).$

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the midpoint of segment LM are

$\left(\dfrac{-1+(-5)}{2},\dfrac{1+(-3)}{2}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{-1-5}{2},\dfrac{1-3}{2}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{-6}{2},\dfrac{-2}{2}\right)\\\\\\=(-3,-1).$

Thus, the required co-ordinates of the midpoint are (-3, -1).

Use the midpoint formula,
(x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2)
(-1-5/2,1-3/2)
(-6/2,-2/2)
(-3,-1)

Factor this expression completely, then place the factors in the proper location on the grid. a^3y + 1

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

$a^{3y} + 1 = (a^{y}+1 )^{3} - 3a^y(a^{y}+1)\\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to factorize the expression $a^{3y} + 1$ completely. To do this, we will apply the expression below;

The expression can be rewritten as $a^{3y} + 1^{3}$

To factorize the expression, we need to first factorize $(a^{y}+1 )^{3}$ first

$(a^{y}+1 )^{3} =(a^{y}+1 )(a^{y}+1 )^{2}\\= (a^{y}+1 )((a^y)^{2} } + 2a^{y} +1)\\= (a^y)^{3} +2(a^y)^{2}+a^y+( a^y)^{2}+2a^y+1\\(a^{y}+1 )^{3} = ((a^y)^{3} + 1) +2(a^y)^{2}+a^y+( a^y)^{2}+2a^y\\(a^{y}+1 )^{3} = ((a^y)^{3} + 1) +3(a^y)^{2}+3a^y\\$

The we will make $a^{3y} + 1^{3}$ the subject of the formula as shown;

$(a^y)^{3} + 1 = (a^{y}+1 )^{3} - (3(a^y)^{2}+3a^y)\\(a^y)^{3} + 1^{3} = (a^{y}+1 )^{3} - (3(a^y)^{2}+3a^y)\\\\$

$(a^y)^{3} + 1 = (a^{y}+1 )^{3} - (3(a^y)^{2}+3a^y)\\\\$

$a^{3y} + 1 = (a^{y}+1 )^{3} - (3(a^y)^{2}+3a^y)\\\\$

$a^{3y} + 1 = (a^{y}+1 )^{3} - 3a^y(a^{y}+1)\\\\$

This last result gives the expansion of the expression

An arc of length 3 feet is cut off by a central angle of π/4 radians. Find the area of the sector formed

tino4ka555 [31]

so hmm notice the picture below

so $\bf \textit{area of a sector of a circle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{s^2}{2\theta}\qquad
\begin{cases}
\theta=\textit{central angle in radians}\\
s=\textit{length of the arc}
\end{cases}$
