First step of the equation is to simplify the equation 2a • b = a2 + b2 into 2 ab = a2 + b2. This cannot be factored anymore although. when we try to substitute a with 5 and b with 2, the answer in the right hand side of the equation is -9. hence the answer to this problem is false. we can try another values to verify.
One as it intersects only on the Y axis
Answer:
A, (1, 3+1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Midpoint formula for reference: m= {(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2}
Plugging in the points we get: m= {(8 - 6)/2, (5 + 2)/2}
Now we simplify using PEMDAS. First step is parentheses.
m= {2/2, 7/2}
Simplifying again (and making 7/2 a mixed number), it becomes
m= {1, 3+1/2}
Hope this helps!
Hello Bri,
If you are talking about a boundary line on a coordinate plane, the best way to determine which side to shade is to start by selecting a coordinate point (x, y) that is not on the line.
Then, substitute those values into your inequality. Simplify the inequality. If the resulting statement is true, then shade the side with your point. If the resulting statement is false, then shade the other side.
Testing a point like this shows the side of the inequality that is the solution and needs to be shaded.
Good luck!
