Find the x value for the point that splits segment AB in half if point A is located at (4, 3) and point B is located at (−2, 6).

erastova [34]

Midpoint = (x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2 = so just solving for
x gives (4+(-2))/2 = 1

not asked for but the y value is (3+6)/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 so the ordered pair is (1, 4.5)

Answer:

D. x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $4^{x-3}$ - 2

First, convert $4^{x-3}$ to base 2:

$4^{x-3}$ = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Next, convert $\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ to base 2:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ = $(2^{-1})^{x-4}$

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ = $2^{-1*(x-4)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{2})^{x-3}$ = $2^{2(x-3)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $2^{2(x-3)}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $a^{b+c}$ = $a^{b}$ $a^{c}$ :

$2^{-1(x-4)}$ = $2^{-1x}$ * $2^{4}$ , $2^{2(x-3)}$ = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$

$2^{-1 * x}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$2^{-1x}$ = $(2^{x})^{-1}$ , $2^{2x}$ = $(2^{x})^{2}$

$(2^{x})^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(2^{x})^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Rewrite the equation with $2^{x} = u$ :

$(u)^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(u)^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Solve $u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2:

$u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Refine:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2

Add 3 to both sides:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 + 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2 + 3

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1

Multiply by the Least Common Multiplier (64u):

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify $\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u:

1024

Simplify $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ * 64u:

$u^{3}$

Substitute:

1024 = $u^{3}$ + 64u

Solve for u:

u = 8

Substitute back u = $2^{x}$ :

8 = $2^{x}$

Solve for x:

x = 3

Find the GCF of 14a and 28ab

raketka [301]

The GCF would be 14a, because 14a x 1 = 14a, and 14a x 2b = 28ab.

You are painting the root of a boathouse. You are going to place the base of a ladder 12 feet from the boathouse. How long does

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

37 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right triangle as it elan's against the wall of the boat house.

Thus, the length of the ladder can be determined using Pythagorean theorem.

c² = a² + b²

c = length of ladder

a = 35 ft

b = 12 ft

Plug in the values

c² = 35² + 12²

c² = 1,225 + 144

c² = 1,369

c = √1,369

c = 37

Therefore, to reach the roof of the boathouse, the length of the ladder = 37 ft
