Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{ \: ( \: 3 \: , \: - 1 \: )}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \sf { \: Let \: the \: points \:be \: A \: and \: B}}$

$\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: \: A (8,6) \: be \: (x1 \:, y1) and \: B(-2,-8) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}$

$\underline{ \sf{Finding \: the \: midpoint}}$

$\boxed{ \rm{Midpoint \: = \: ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \: , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{8 + ( - 2)}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 + ( - 8)}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto { \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{8 - 2}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 - 8}{2} }})$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{6}{2} \: , \: \frac{ - 2}{2}) }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = (3 \: \: , - 1)}}$

Hope I helped!

Best wishes!! :D

Complete the following statement: f(3)=_____

Lesechka [4]

Using this equation, f(3) = 23.

In order to find the value of f(3), we need to take the f(x) equation and put 3 everywhere we see x. Then we follow the order of operations to solve. So, let's start with the original.

f(x) = 2x^2 + 5sqrt(x - 2)

Now place 3 in for each x.

f(3) = 2(3)^2 + 5sqrt(3 - 2)

Now square the 3.

f(3) = 2(9) + 5 sqrt(3 - 2)

Do the subtraction inside of the parenthesis.

f(3) = 2(9) + 5sqrt(1)

Take the square root

f(3) = 2(9) + 5(1)

Multiply.

f(3) = 18 + 5

And add.

f(3) = 23
