Notice the picture
we know DE, or the whole segment is 10x-12
and P is the midpoint
so.. the point P is cutting DE in two equal halves,
namely, DP and PE
so... whatever 10x-12 is, DP is half of that
thus
$\bf DP=\cfrac{DE}{2}\implies 3x+2=\cfrac{10x-12}{2}$

solve for "x",

how long is DP? well, once you get "x", plug it in 3x+2,
that's how long DP is :)

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

$y = - 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 5(y - 3) - 10 = - 6y$

➡️ $- 5y + 15 - 10 = - 6y$

➡️ $- 5y + 5 = - 6y$

➡️ $- 5y + 6y = - 5$

➡️ $y = - 5$

A culture started with 2000 bacteria. After 4 hours, it grew to 2,200 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will represent after 9

S_A_V [24]

Y=2000* $e^{k*t}$

2200=2000* $e^{k*4}$

$e^{k}= ( \frac{22}{20} )^{(1/4)}$ 

so,
y at t=8 is 2000*( $( \frac{22}{20} )^{(1/4)}$ )^8
y = 2000(22/20)^2=2000*1.21=2420 thats the answer i hope.

Determine coefficients a and b such that p(x)=x2 ax b satisfies p(1)=5 and p′(1)=11.

Murrr4er [49]

$p(x)=x^2+ax+b$
$p'(x)=2x+a$

Given that $p'(1)=11$ , you have

$p'(1)=2+a=11\implies a=9$

and given that $p(1)=5$ , you have

$p(1)=1+9+b=5\implies b=-5$

So you get

$p(x)=x^2+9x-5$
