First, convert 3 into a fraction with denominator 8.

(3 pizzas)(8/8 pizzas)=24/8 pizzas

Then, divide 24/8 pizzas by 2/8 pizzas per 1 person.

(24/8 pizzas)(2/8 pizzas/person)

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal:

(24/8)/(2/8)=(24/8)×(8/2) the 8s cancel and you are left with 24/2=12

3 pizzas will feed 12 people.

What is the midpoint between (-4 - 2i) and ( 6 + 8i) on the complex plane?

diamong [38]

Add the real parts and the imaginary parts separately and divide each by 2

$= ( \frac{ - 4 + 6}{2} + \frac{ - 2i + 8i}{2} )$

$= ( \frac{2}{2} + \frac{6i}{2} )$

=(1+3i)

Which graph shows the asymptotes of the function f(x)=4x-8/2x+3

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Graph C

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you mean $\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{4x-8}{2x+3}$ :

Our vertical asymptote will be the line equal to the solution of $2x+3=0$ , which is $x=-\frac{3}{2}$
Our horizontal asymptote will be equal to the ratio of the leading coefficients since they have the same degree, so $y=2$

Thus, the correct graph is C.
