note that the zeroes should be x = 1 and x = - 2 not x = - 1 and x = 2
the factors are then ( x - 1 ) and (x + 2)
and x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 = (x - 1 )(x + 2) = x² + x - 2
thus x² + x - 2 is a factor
dividing x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 by x² + x - 2 gives x - 5
the third zero is x = 5
check : (5)³ -4(5)² - 7(5) + 10 = 125 - 100 - 35 + 10 = 0
The two in the middle. B and C, I guess.
Start point A = (-4, 1) over y, A = (4,1) over x, A = (4, -1) rotated 180 degrees.
Answer:
d=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
first find the coordinate of B(mid point of AC):A(3,7) C(6,11)
d=√(6-3)²+(11-7)²
d=√3²+4²
d=√9+16=√25=5
since B is the mid point : d/2=5/2=2.5
<h2>Another way :</h2>
B(x1+x2/2 , y1+y2/2) , x1=3 , x2=6, y1=7, y2=11
B(9/2,18/2)
B(9/2,9)
Find AB : the length or distance between 2 points:
d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
d=√(3-9/2)²+(7-9)²
d=√(-3/2)²+(-2)²
d=√1.5²+4
d=√6.25
d=2.5
