The number in the blanks is 3
The midpoint is (0.5, 1.5)
you use (x2-x1)/2 and you add that number to x1 got x midpoint
and is the same way to find y
The zeros of this functions are -4, 2, -4, and -4.
-4 is a multiple zero and has multiplicity 3.
2 is a zero. I would call it a simple zero, since it's only a zero once (AKA has multiplicity of 1).
Is this a "pick one answer" or "pick all correct answers"?
Hey there!
Let's break this expression into two parts:
6(3x-1) and -10x
To solve the first part, we need to use the distributive property which states:
a(b+c) = ab+ac
Applying that to this problem, we have:
6(3x) + 6(-1) =
18x - 6
Now, we can take that -10x and put it right back in:
18x - 6 - 10x
Combine like terms and subtract the 10x from the 18x to get:
8x - 6
Hope this helps!
7.
The point-slope form of the equation of a line is
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where m is the slope, and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.
We are given two points, so we can find the slope.
slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
The slope of this line is
m = (-3 - 7)/(5 - (-15)) = -10/20 = -1/2
Since every choice has a 7 and a 15, we now use point (-15, 7) and slope -1/2.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 7 = -1/2(x - (-15))
y - 7 = -1/2(x + 15)
