Answer: (3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint, you want to use the formula $m=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$ . Since we are given the two points, we can plug them in and solve.

$m=(\frac{-1+7}{2} ,\frac{9+(-1)}{2} )$ [add numerator]

$m=(\frac{6}{2} ,\frac{8}{2} )$ [divide]

$m=(3,4)$

Now, we know that the midpoint is (3,4).

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

=> expression of the difference of 10 and u

=> difference = result of subtraction

=> 10 is the number to be subtracted by u

=> u = is the unknown number to subtract to 10

=> 10 – u

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic expression is the expression that contains the combination of number, variables and operators like addition, division, subtraction and multiplication.

What is the factored form of the function f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x−50?

Inga [223]

Answer:

the factors of f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x-50 are (x-2)(x+5)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factorise the function $f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x-50$

If a number is a factor of this function than it must be completely divisible by last co-efficient. Our last co-efficient is -50

Checking few numbers:

$f(1)=(1)^{3}+8(1)^2+5(1)-50\\f(1)=1+8+5-50\\f(1)=-32\\Now \ putting \ x= 2 \\f(2)=(2)^{3}+8(2)^2+5(2)-50\\f(2)=8+8(4)+10-50\\f(2)=8+32+10-50\\f(2)=0$
