Answer:
It’s the second one
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x midpoint: (-9+4)/(2) = -2
2. y midpoint: (3+7)/(2) = 5
3. The midpoint is (-2,5)
Let's use the slope intercept form of a line which is:
y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
Mathematically m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and the y-intercept is just the value of y when x is equal to zero, where the line intercepts the y axis...
First you want to find the slope by finding two clearly identifiable points on the graph...I'll pick (4,4) and (0,1), now we can calculate the slope or "m"...
m=(4-1)/(4-0)=3/4 so now we can say our line is:
y=0.75x+b, using point (4,4) we can now solve for b.
4=0.75(4)+b
4=3+b
b=1 so the line is"
y=0.75x+1
Answer:
x = - 4 ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = x² + 8x + 4
To find the zeros let f(x) = 0, that is
x² + 8x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x² + 8x = - 4
To solve using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 4 + 16
(x + 4)² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 4 = ± 
= ± 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x = - 4 ± 2
Thus the zeros are
x = - 4 - 2 and x = - 4 + 2
What is the 9th term of the geometric sequence 4, -20, 100, ...
<span>First term, a = 4 </span>
<span>common ratio, r = –20 / 4 = –5 </span>
<span>..... ..... ..... ..... = 100 / –20 = –5 </span>
<span>9th term = 4 ( –5 ) ^ ( 9 - 1 ) </span>
<span>..... ...... = 4 ( –5 ) ^ 8 </span>
<span>..... ...... = 4 ( 390,625 ) </span>
<span>..... ...... = 1,562,500 </span>
