The midpoint between two numbers is the number exactly in the middle of the two numbers. Calculating the midpoint is the same thing as calculating the average of two numbers. Therefore, you can calculate the midpoint between any two numbers by adding them together and dividing by two.
2x^2+8x-12=0
with form
ax^2+bx+c=0
move c to the other side
2x^2+8x=12
x^2 is multiplied -> divide equation by 2
x^2+4x=6
complete square:
divide b=4 by 2
4*1/2=2
square 2
2^2=4
add 4 to both sides
x^2+4x=6
x^2+4x+4=6+4
x^2+4x+4=10
transform to polynom
(x+2)^2=10
this left side is option B multiplied by a factor of 16 and therefore equal:
(4x + 8)^2
(4*4)x^2+(4*2*8)x+8*8
16x^2+64x+64
x^2+4+4
bonus: calculate root
x+2=+/-sqrt(10)
x=-2+/-sqrt(10)
so it is option B
Answer:
Choice C.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are students listening to music for 6.5 hours. So, the students will be in a range where the numbers on the x-axis go to 9.
According to the table, there are 11 students who listen to music for 0 to 3 hours. There are 3 students who listen to music for 3 to 6 hours. There is 1 student listening to music from 6 to 9 hours. This data matches up with the histogram from Choice C.
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of the pine roping is:
15.8 yards × $0.89 / yard = $14.062
The cost of the ribbon is:
26.3 yards × $0.36 / yard = $9.468
The total cost is:
$14.062 + $9.468 = $23.53
She spent $23.53 on decorations.
