Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x+2=-5/8x-5

Add 5/8 x to each side

1/4x + 5/8 x+2=-5/8x + 5/8x-5

1/4x + 5/8x +2 = -5

Subtract 2 from each side

1/4x + 5/8x +2-2 = -5-2

1/4x + 5/8x = -7

Get a common denominator of 8

1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7

2/8x + 5/8x = -7

7/8x = -7

Multiply each side by 8/7

8/7 * 7/8x = -7*8/7

x = -8

Stem and leaf plots, what is the mode median and range of the scores

frez [133]

Answer:

Mode = 81, Median = 81 and Range = 39.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mode is the most occurring value which is 81.

The median is also 81. There are a total of 19 numbers arranged in ascending order so the median is the 10th number.

The range is the highest - lowest number = 100 - 61 = 39.

the axis of symmetry of a quadratic equation is x = –3. if one of the zeroes of the equation is 4, what is the other zero?

FinnZ [79.3K]

ANSWER

The other zero is

$x = - 10$

EXPLANATION

The axis of symmetry serves as the midpoint of the two zeroes.

We were given that the axis of symmetry of the quadratic equation is
$x = - 3$

We were also given that, one of the zeroes of the quadratic equation is
$x = 4$

Let the other zero of the quadratic equation be
$x = p$

,then, we apply the midpoint formula to find the value of
$p$

Since it is the x-values of the intercepts that gives the solution, we use only the x-value part of the midpoint formula which is given by,

$\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} = axis \: of \: symmetry$

We substitute to obtain,

$\frac{p + 4}{2} = - 3$

We multiply through by 2 to get,

$p + 4 = - 6$

This implies that,

$p = - 6 - 4$

$p = - 10$

Check the picture below, so the park looks more or less like so, with the paths in red, so let's find those midpoints.

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ J(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad K(\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 1 -3}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 3 +1}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ -2 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 4 }{2} \right)\implies JK=(-1~~,~~2) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ L(\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -1 +5}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -3 -1}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 4 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -4 }{2} \right)\implies LM=(2~~,~~-2) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ JK(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad LM(\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ JKLM=\sqrt{(~~2 - (-1)~~)^2 + (~~-2 - 2~~)^2} \\\\\\ JKLM=\sqrt{(2 +1)^2 + (-2 - 2)^2} \implies JKLM=\sqrt{( 3 )^2 + ( -4 )^2} \\\\\\ JKLM=\sqrt{ 9 + 16 } \implies JKLM=\sqrt{ 25 }\implies \boxed{JKLM=5}$

now, let's check the other path, JM and KL

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ J(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -1 -3}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -3 +1}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ -4 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -2 }{2} \right)\implies JM=(-2~~,~~-1) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ K(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad L(\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 5 +1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -1 +3}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 6 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 2 }{2} \right)\implies KL=(3~~,~~1) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ JM(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad KL(\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ JMKL=\sqrt{(~~3 - (-2)~~)^2 + (~~1 - (-1)~~)^2} \\\\\\ JMKL=\sqrt{(3 +2)^2 + (1 +1)^2} \implies JMKL=\sqrt{( 5 )^2 + ( 2 )^2} \\\\\\ JMKL=\sqrt{ 25 + 4 } \implies \boxed{JMKL=\sqrt{ 29 }}$

so the red path will be $5~~ + ~~\sqrt{29} ~~ \approx ~~ \blacksquare~~ 10 ~~\blacksquare$
