Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that on a number line, point A has a coordinate of −6, and point B has a coordinate of 2. It means

x_1=-6

x_2=2

Midpoint formula:

x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

x=\frac{-6+2}{2}

x=\frac{-4}{2}

x=-2

The coordinate of point M is -2. Therefore option B is correct.

To solve this, we just need to find the distance between the points A and B in the number line, and then, divide that distance by 2.
Remember that the distance formula between tow point in the number line is: 
d=|x_{2}-x_{1}|
From our point we can infer that x_{1}=-6 and x_{2}=2, so lets replace the values:
d=|x_{2}-x_{1}|
d=|2-(-6)|
d=|2+6|
d=8

Now, to find the coordinate of the midpoint, we just need to divide that distance by 2:
M= \frac{8}{2}
M=4

We can conclude that the coordinate of the point M, the midpoint of AB, is 4

PLEAZE HELP IM FAILING THIS CLASS 9) The volume of a box is represented by x' +11x² + 20x – 32. The width of the box is x – 1, a
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box  =  x³ +11x² + 20x – 32        I think the ' is a typo for ³

      the width is x-1    and the height is x+8      

Find an expression for the length

       Vol = LWH    solve L

        Vol / (WH)   =  L     so

L  =  (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) / (x-1) (x+8)      

                    so it would help to factor the numerator

       (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32)       I'm willing to bet (x-1) and  (x+8) are factors

                                               but I will plot the equation to find the three roots

        (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32)  = (x-1) (x+8) (x+4)

L  =  (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) / (x-1) (x+8)

   =  (x-1) (x+8) (x+4) / (x-1) (x+8)           the (x-1) and (x+8) cancel out leaving

L =   (x + 4)
