Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (17,1) and (−2,8).

We need to find the midpoint of given points.

Formula for midpoint :

$Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

The midpoint of the segment between the points (17,1) and (−2,8) is

$Midpoint=(\frac{17+(-2)}{2},\frac{1+8}{2})$

$Midpoint=(\frac{15}{2},\frac{9}{2})$

The midpoint of the segment between the points (17,1) and (−2,8) is $(\frac{15}{2},\frac{9}{2})$

Therefore the correct option is C.

Answer:

C. (15/2,9/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of two points

midpoint = (x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2

= (17+-2)/2, (1+8)/2

= 15/2, 9/2

I'm assuming you're talking about the indefinite integral

$\displaystyle\int e^{-x^2/2}\,\mathrm dx$

and that your question is whether the substitution $u=\dfrac x{\sqrt2}$ would work. Well, let's check it out:

$u=\dfrac x{\sqrt2}\implies\mathrm du=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt2}$
$\implies\displaystyle\int e^{-x^2/2}\,\mathrm dx=\sqrt2\int e^{-(\sqrt2\,u)^2/2}\,\mathrm du$
$=\displaystyle\sqrt2\int e^{-u^2}\,\mathrm du$

which essentially brings us to back to where we started. (The substitution only served to remove the scale factor in the exponent.)

What if we tried $u=\sqrt t$ next? Then $\mathrm du=\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{2\sqrt t}$ , giving

$=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt2}\int \frac{e^{-(\sqrt t)^2}}{\sqrt t}\,\mathrm dt=\frac1{\sqrt2}\int\frac{e^{-t}}{\sqrt t}\,\mathrm dt$

Next you may be tempted to try to integrate this by parts, but that will get you nowhere.

So how to deal with this integral? The answer lies in what's called the "error function" defined as

$\mathrm{erf}(x)=\displaystyle\frac2{\sqrt\pi}\int_0^xe^{-t^2}\,\mathrm dt$

By the fundamental theorem of calculus, taking the derivative of both sides yields

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\mathrm{erf}(x)=\dfrac2{\sqrt\pi}e^{-x^2}$

and so the antiderivative would be

$\displaystyle\int e^{-x^2/2}\,\mathrm dx=\sqrt{\frac\pi2}\mathrm{erf}\left(\frac x{\sqrt2}\right)$

The takeaway here is that a new function (i.e. not some combination of simpler functions like regular exponential, logarithmic, periodic, or polynomial functions) is needed to capture the antiderivative.

Bryce bought a bag of cashews.he served 7/8 pound of cashews at a party. This amount represents 2/3 of the entire bag. The equat

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Ok so for this problem you you divide 2/3 n by 2/3 and 7/8 by 2/3
you get $n= \frac{7}{8} / \frac{2}{3}$
to divide fraction you flip the divider over to find the reciprocal
2/3 > 3/2 also you change the division symbol to the multiplication symbol
the equation now is $n= \frac{7}{8} * \frac{3}{2}$
now you multiply to get 21/16
the answer is 1 5/16 after you simplify it
