Ivanshal [37]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

$x=-\frac{17}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}(4x-1)=-\frac{1}{7}-\frac{5}{7}$

$x-\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{6}{7}$

$x = -\frac{6}{7} + \frac{1}{4}$

$x = -\frac{17}{28}$

plug $x$ in the equation to make sure of your answer:

$\frac{1}{4}(4x-1)=-\frac{1}{7}-\frac{5}{7}\\\frac{1}{4}(4(-\frac{17}{28}) -1)=-\frac{1}{7}-\frac{5}{7}\\-\frac{17}{28} -\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{6}{7}\\-\frac{6}{7}=-\frac{6}{7}$

8) Find the endpoint Cif M is the midpoint of segment CD and M (2, 4) and D (5,7)

Elenna [48]

Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let $D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)$

$C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})$

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$ and $4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

Solve for each:

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$

$2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2$

$4 = x_1 + 5$

$4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5$

$-1 = x_1$

$x_1 = -1$

$4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

$4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2$

$8 = y_1 + 7$

$8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7$

$1 = y_1$

$y_1 = 1$

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let $A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)$

$B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})$

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$ and $-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

Solve for each:

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$

$-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2$

$-8 = x_1 - 2$

$-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2$

$-6 = x_1$

$x_1 = -6$

$-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

$-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2$

$-10 = y_1 - 9$

$-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9$

$-1 = y_1$

$y_1 = -1$

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.

F(x) = 2x + 3g(x) = 2x² + 6x + 13Find: (gºf)(x)

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The function (gof)(x) is;

$(g\circ f)(x)=8x^2+36x+49$

Explanation:

Given the functions;

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=2x+3 \\ g(x)=2x^2+6x+13 \end{gathered}$

Solving for the function;

$(g\circ f)(x)=g(f(x))$

so, we have;

$\begin{gathered} g(f(x))=2(f(x))^2+6(f(x))+13 \\ g(f(x))=2(2x+3)^2+6(2x+3)+13 \\ g(f(x))=2(4x^2+12x+9)^{}+6(2x)+6(3)+13 \\ g(f(x))=8x^2+24x+18^{}+12x+18+13 \\ g(f(x))=8x^2+24x^{}+12x+18+18+13 \\ g(f(x))=8x^2+36x+49 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the function (gof)(x) is;

$(g\circ f)(x)=8x^2+36x+49$
