The formulae for the midpoint are correct:

M ( (x₂-x₁)/2 , (y₂-y₁)/2 )

You need to invert these to get x₁ and y₁:
x₁ =2xm - x₂
y₁ =2ym - y₂

Try with the x to prove the formulae are correct:
x₁ =2·(-8) - (-6) = -16 + 6 = -10 which is what we have!

Then, use the other formula for y:
y₁ =2 ·(6) - (7) = 12 - 7 = 5

Therefore y₁ = 5

Given:

The equation is,

$2\log _3x-\log _3(x-2)=2$

Explanation:

Simplify the equation by using logarthimic property.

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _3x-\log _3(x-2)=2 \\ \log _3x^2-\log _3(x-2)=2_{}\text{ \lbrack{}log(a)-log(b) = log(a/b)\rbrack} \\ \log _3\lbrack\frac{x^2}{x-2}\rbrack=2 \end{gathered}$

Simplify further.

$\begin{gathered} \log _3\lbrack\frac{x^2}{x-2}\rbrack=2 \\ \frac{x^2}{x-2}=3^2 \\ x^2=9(x-2) \\ x^2-9x+18=0 \end{gathered}$

Solve the quadratic equation for x.

$\begin{gathered} x^2-6x-3x+18=0 \\ x(x-6)-3(x-6)=0 \\ (x-6)(x-3)=0 \end{gathered}$

From the above equation (x - 6) = 0 or (x - 3) = 0.

For (x - 6) = 0,

$\begin{gathered} x-6=0 \\ x=6 \end{gathered}$

For (x - 3) = 0,

$\begin{gathered} x-3=0 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$

The values of x from solving the equations are x = 3 and x = 6.

Substitute the values of x in the equation to check answers are valid or not.

For x = 3,

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _3(3^{})-\log _3(3-2)=2 \\ 2\log _33-\log _31=2 \\ 2\cdot1-0=2 \\ 2=2 \end{gathered}$

Equation satisfy for x = 3. So x = 3 is valid value of x.

For x = 6,

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _36-\log _3(6-2)=2 \\ 2\log _36-\log _34=2 \\ \log _3(6^2)-\log _34=2 \\ \log _3(\frac{36}{4})=2 \\ \log _39=2 \\ \log _3(3^2)=2 \\ 2\log _33=2 \\ 2=2 \end{gathered}$

Equation satifies for x = 6.

Thus values of x for equation are x = 3 and x = 6.

The mean salary of 5 employees is $33700. The median is $34600. The mode is $35600. If the median paid employee gets a $3500 rai

fgiga [73]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean = 33700

Median = 34600

Mode = 35600

The mean is the average, the median is the middle number, and the mode is the most common number.

First, we need to find the new mean (average) if one of the employees gets a 3500 raise. The average is the total salary divided by number of employees:

(5 × 33700 + 3500) / 5 = 34400

The mode is the most common number in a set. Since there are only five employees, and the mode is different than the median, then the two highest earners must have the same salary. The salaries from smallest to largest is therefore:

?, ?, 34600, 35600, 35600

When the median gets the 3500 raise, the set becomes:

?, ?, 35600, 35600, 38100

So the new median is 35600.

The most common number is still 35600. So the mode hasn't changed: 35600.
