How do I do this ? I don't know how to find the midpoint in this problem

If point A is the midpoint then that means line segments XA and AY are equivalent so you can set:
3x=5x-6
(now you solve for x)
2x=6
(divide by 2 on both sides)
x=3

So BASICALLY,
XA= 3x= 3(3) = 9
AY= 5x-6= 5(3)-6 =9
So now you know the length of both sides, add those together and you get
XY=18

Answer:

Complementary angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that $\angle a=\angle AXY, \angle b = \angle YXB$ and $\angle BXC = 90\°$ , by given.

$\angle AXB = \angle AXY + \angle YXB$ , by sum of angles.

$\angle AXB + \angle BXC = 180\°$ , by supplementary angles definition.

$\angle AXB + 90\° = 180\°\\\angle AXB = 180\° - 90\°\\\angle AXB = 90\°$

Which means,

$\angle AXB = \angle AXY + \angle YXB = 90\°$

Therefore, $\angle a + \angle b = 90\°$ , in other words, angles a and b are complementary by definition.

No. This is not random sampling as the students chose are not chosen at random. Random sampling would be something done where each sample has equal probability of being chosen. Clearly this is not random sampling.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that is given is only for the specific place of that object. To find the velocity, you need to take the derivative of the equation. This will give you:

$V=2+\frac{1}{2} t$

Now, to find the average velocity of this object, plug in the values given to you. It's between the time interval [1, 2] so these are the two numbers you'll plug into the velocity equation. Finding this average is like finding any other average.

$V(1)=2+\frac{1}{2} (1)\\V(1)=2+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\\V(2)=2+\frac{1}{2}(2)\\V(2)=2+1=3$

$V_{avg}=\frac{3-\frac{5}{2} }{2-1} \\V_{avg}=\frac{\frac{6}{2}-\frac{5}{2} }{1} \\V_{avg}=\frac{1}{2}$

Average velocity is 0.5 sec

To find instantaneous velocity just find the velocity at time one. Think about the name "instantaneous velocity," it's the velocity in that <u>instant</u>.

We already found this, so I don't need more work (it's displayed above).

The instantaneous velocity when $t=1$ is 2.5 sec.
