we have 4 gals, Stephanie, Andrea, Emily and  Becca.

btw the end point should be (-6, -7) and the start point is (8, 6).

so, if we know the distance between those two points, we can just cut it in 4 equal pieces and each gal will be driving a piece.

now, Emily's turn is after Andrea, BUT, we had first Stephenie driving ¼ of the way, then Andrea driving ¼ of the way too, but after ¼+¼, Emily comes on, but ¼+¼ is really 1/2, so when Emily starts, is really half-way through, or the midpoint of that distance.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{Hometown}}{(\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})}\qquad
\stackrel{\textit{San Antonio}}{(\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7})}
\qquad
\left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-6+8}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-7+6}{2} \right)\implies \left(\cfrac{2}{2}~,~\cfrac{-1}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{\textit{Emily starts off}}{\left(1~,-\frac{1}{2} \right)}


Emily's turn ends ¼ of the way later, which will be pretty much half-way in between  (1, -½) and (-6, -7), so is really the midpoint of those two.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-\frac{1}{2}})\qquad
\stackrel{\textit{San Antonio}}{(\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7})}
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-6+1}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-7-\frac{1}{2}}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{~\frac{-14-1}{2}~}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{~\frac{-15}{2}~}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{-15}{4} \right)\implies \left( -2\frac{1}{2}~,~-3\frac{3}{4} \right)

X^3*x^4=x^12 whats the answerrr
erica [24]

Answer:

I hope it helps it was the best I can do.

Step-by-step explanation:

-x12 + x7 = 0

Factorization:

−x7(x − 1)(x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1) = 0

Solutions based on Jenkins–Traub algorithm:

x1 = … = x7 = 0

x8 = 1

x9 = −0.809017 − 0.587785i

x10 = −0.809017 + 0.587785i

x11 = 0.309017 − 0.951057i

x12 = 0.309017 + 0.951057i

Closer to 2. If you round it, because the number after the 2 is less than 5 you round it down so it's closer to 2
