To find the midpoint of a segment (or the midpoint between two points - here the endpoints of the side) we use the midpoint formula. What it comes down to is finding the "average" of the x-coordinate and the "average" of the y-coordinate.

The formula is as follows. The midpoint of the segment with endpoints (x_{1} ,y_{1}) and (x_{2} ,y_{2}) is given by ( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

Let us find the midpoint of side JM. It does not matter which point we designate with the 1s and which we designate with the 2s so let's let J (-7,2) = (x_{1} ,y_{1}) and M (-6,-4) = (x_{2} ,y_{2}).

Now we plug these into the formula as follows: ( \frac{-7+-6}{2},\frac{-2+-4}{2}) = ( \frac{-13}{2},\frac{-6}{2})=(-6.5,-3)

Let us now find the midpoint of side KL. It does not matter which point we designate with the 1s and which we designate with the 2s so let's let K (-2,-2) = (x_{1} ,y_{1}) and L (-3,-4) = (x_{2} ,y_{2})

Now we plug these into the formula as follows: ( \frac{-2+-3}{2},\frac{-2+-4}{2}) = ( \frac{-5}{2},\frac{-6}{2})=(-2.5,-3)

We calculate the midpoint by taking the average of the x- and y-coordinates of both points. For side JM, with point J(-7, -2) and point M(-6, -4), we average the x-coordinates to get (-7 - 6) / 2= -13/2, and the y-coordinates average to (-2 - 4) / 2 = -3. So the midpoint of side JM is (-13/2, -3).
The calculation is similar for side KL: (-2 - 3) / 2 = -5/2, and (-2 - 4) / 2 = -3, so the midpoint of side KL is (-5/2, -3).

Please help me with this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

  • a. E = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
  • b. A ∩ B = {2, 3}
  • c. A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Locate the designated space on the diagram and list all the numbers in it.

a. E = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} . . . . all numbers in the rectangle

__

b. A ∩ B = {2, 3} . . . . where the circles overlap

__

c. A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8} . . . . only 6 is outside the circles

A culture started with 3000 bacteria. After 4 hours, it grew to 3,600 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after
Vlad [161]
Hello Shannonrodrigue. You can solve this by setting up an exponential growth equation.

A = A_ob^t
3600 = 3000b^4

Now we solve for b
3600 = 3000b^4
\frac{3600}{3000} = \frac{3000b^{4}}{3000}
\frac{6}{5} = b^4
\sqrt[4]{\frac{6}{5}} = \sqrt[4]{b^4}
\sqrt[4]{\frac{6}{5}} = b

Now that we have found b, we can use the equation A = 3000b^t to predict how many bacteria will be present after 10 hours.
b = \sqrt[4]{\frac{6}{5}}
t = 10
A = 3000b^t
A = 3000\sqrt[4]{\frac{6}{5}}^{10} = 4732.3228 = 4732

Answer = 4732
