We define midpoint formula as

Y(x_m, y_m)=Y(\dfrac{x_2+x_1}{2}, \dfrac{y_2+y_1}{2})

Also here are the coordinates of every point in variables so you won't get confused.

Y(x_m, y_m) \\X(x_1, y_1) \\Z(x_2, y_2)

Which means there are two equations. One to find x of point X and one to find y of point X.

x_m=\dfrac{x_2+x_1}{2}\Longrightarrow 3=\dfrac{11+x_1}{2} \\6=11+x_1\Longrightarrow\underline{x_1=-5} \\ \\ y_m=\dfrac{y_2+y_1}{2}\Longrightarrow-1=\dfrac{-5+y_1}{2} \\-2=-5+y_1\Longrightarrow\underline{y_1=3}

So point X has coordinates: \boxed{X(-5, 3)}

Hope this helps.

B.) Marua will spend 2 hours to read 100 pages of sociology which means she can only read 60 pages of economics.
Therefore, the opportunity cost of reading 100 pages of sociology is forfeiting 40 pages (2 hours) of economics.

4x² + 4x + 1 = 0

⇔ (2x + 1)² = 0

⇒ 2x + 1 = 0

⇔ x = -1/2

 If 2x3 – 4x2 + kx + 10 is divided by (x + 2), the remainder is 4. Find the value of k using remainder theorem. Please help :)​
Vinvika [58]

The polynomial remainder theorem states that the remainder of the division of a polynomial P(x) by x-a is equal to P(a).

Therefore

P(-2)=4\\2\cdot(-2)^3 - 4\cdot(-2)^2 + k\cdot(-2) + 10=4\\-16-16-2k=-6\\-2k=26\\k=-13
