5.21 is the point 3/4 of the way from 4.58 to 5.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The two endpoints of the problem are

A = 4.58

B = 5.42

In order to find the point C which is 3/4 of the way between A and B, we have to divide the distance between A and B in 4 parts, then add 3 parts to the right of point A.

We start by finding the distance between A and B:

$d=5.42-4.58=0.84$

Now we divide this distance in 4 parts:

$\frac{d}{4}=\frac{0.84}{4}=0.21$

And point C is 3 parts to the right of A, therefore:

$C=A+\frac{d}{4}=4.58+3(0.21)=5.21$

1.Find the zeros of f(x) = x2 - 9

Marat540 [252]

So for the first one it is (x-3)(x+3) this is because it is a difference of squares so you square root the 9 and the minus you do both +and - in order to keep up the -9
The zeros are:x=3 and x=-3 ( this is because you change the sign in the bracket

the others should be pretty simple to do for number 2 its a complex
the third is a simple trinomial
and fourth is simple trinomial as well

the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age

Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}$
