Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are finding the discriminant of the function

It needs to be written in the form ax^2 +bx+c =0

2x^2 +3x = -1

Add 1 to each side

2x^2 +3x+1 = -1+1

2x^2 +3x+1 = -0

b^2 -4ac

a=2 b=3 and c = 1

3^2 - 4(2)(1)

9 - 8

NeX [460]

Answer:

$f(-9)=\frac{131}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to evaluate a function at a given x-value, plug in that value into the actual function

$f(x)=-\frac{x}{2} -7x-2\\\\f(-9)=-\frac{9}{2} -7(-9)-2\\\\f(-9) = \frac{131}{2}$

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: $A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{3}{2}&-\frac{1}{2}\\-2&1\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&1\\4&3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

$\dfrac{1}{2}Row\ 1\rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&\frac{1}{2}\\4&3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{2}&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

$Row\ 2 -4 \ Row\ 1\rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&\frac{1}{2}\\0&1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{2}&0\\-2&1\end{array}\right]$

$Row\ 1-\dfrac{1}{2}\ Row\ 2 \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{3}{2}&-\frac{1}{2}\\-2&1\end{array}\right]$

Geometry math question no Guessing and Please show work

MAXImum [283]

If the point P(x, y) partitions the segment AB in the ratio 1 : 1, then the point P is midpoint of segment AB.

The formula of a midpoint of segment:

$A(x_A;\ y_A),\ B(x_B,\ y_B)\\\\P_{AB}\left(\dfrac{x_A+x_B}{2};\ \dfrac{y_A+y_B}{2}\right)$

We have:

$A(13,\ 1)\to x_A=13,\ y_A=1\\B(-5,\ -3)\to x_B=-5,\ y_B-3\\\\P\left(\dfrac{13+(-5)}{2};\ \dfrac{1+(-3)}{2}\right)\to P\left(\dfrac{8}{2};\ \dfrac{-2}{2}\right)\to P(4,\ -1)$
