Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

given x² + 16x + 24 = 0

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x-term)² to both sides

x² + 2(8)x + 64 + 24 = 64

(x + 8)² + 24 = 64

Point A is at (3, -8) and point B is at (7, 3). What is the midpoint of line segment AB?

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

$(5, -5/2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of any line segment is the average of the x- and y-values of the two endpoints.

Therefore, the midpoint of $AB$ is $((3+7)/2, (-8+3)/2)=(10/2, -5/2)=(5, -5/2)$ .

So, the answer is $\boxed{(5, -5/2)}$ and we're done!

Factor Completely: 25x2 - 64 A) 5(x - 8)(x + 8) B) 5(x - 8)(x - 8) C) (5x - 8)(5x + 8) D) (25x - 1)(x + 64)

ZanzabumX [31]

Rewrite it in the form a^2 - b^2, where a = 5x and b = 8

(5x)^2 - 8^2

Use the Difference of Squares; a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

<u>= C. (5x - 8)(5x + 8)</u>
