Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
Answer: -216
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the exercise you must use the formula shown below:

Where:

You should find 
The formula to find it is:

Where d is the difference between two consecutive terms.

Then:

Substitute it into the first formula. Therefore, you obtain:

8(7) = 56
7(6) = 42
6(5) = 30
5(4) = 20
4(3) = 12
3(2) = 6
∴ 3 = 6
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The general equation of a quadratic function in factored form is equal to

where
a is a coefficient of the leading term
x_1 and x_2 are the roots
we have

substitute

Applying the distributive property convert to expanded form




therefore
