Answer:

$Point\ of\ intersection\ is\ (-\frac{37}{2},-\frac{3}{2}).$

Step-by-step explanation:

Point of intersection: The point which satisfies both the equations is the point of intersection

$y=-x-20\\\\y=x+17\\\\add\ these\ two\ equations\\\\y+y=-x-20+x+17\\\\2y=-3\\\\y=-\frac{3}{2}\\\\y=x+17\\\\x=y-17\\\\x=-\frac{3}{2}-17\\\\x=-\frac{37}{2}\\\\Point\ of\ intersection\ is\ (-\frac{37}{2},-\frac{3}{2}).$

Find the midpoint of (3,8) and (-5,-1)

emmasim [6.3K]

You just average the x and y. So for x it is (3+-5)/2 = -1 and for y it is (8+-1)/2=3.5.

The midpoint is (-1,3.5). See picture for a graphical explanation.

Which is true about the completely simplified difference of the polynomials a3b 9a2b2 − 4ab5 and a3b − 3a2b2 ab5?.

PtichkaEL [24]

The simplified difference of the polynomials (a³b+9a²b²-4ab⁵) and (a³b-3a²b²+ab⁵) is (12a²b²-5ab⁵).

<h3>What are Like terms?</h3>

Like terms are those terms that are having the same variables, also the variables are of the same order as well.

for example, 25x and 5x are like terms; 30xy and 7xy are like terms, 9x³ and 4x² are not like terms, etc.

Let's simplify the two of the given polynomials, therefore, find the difference between the two given polynomials.

$a^3b+9a^2b^2 - 4ab^5 - (a^3b - 3a^2b^2+ab^5)\\\\= a^3b+9a^2b^2 - 4ab^5 - a^3b + 3a^2b^2-ab^5\\\\\text{Bring Like terms together}\\\\=a^3b - a^3b+9a^2b^2+3a^2b^2 -4ab^5-ab^5\\\\= 12a^2b^2-5ab^5$
