Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-4,-8) and (8, 10)

The midpoint is

$M = ( \frac{ - 4 + 8}{2} , \: \frac{ - 8 + 10}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{4}{2} , \frac{2}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

Find the polynomial of minimum degree, with real coefficients, zeros at x=4+4i and x=2, and y-intercept at 64

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$\displaystyle -x^3+10x^2-48x+64$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the minimum-degree polynomial with real coefficients and zeros at:

$x= 4+4i\text{ and } x = 2$

As well as a y-intercept of 64.

By the Complex Root Theorem, if a + bi is a root, then a - bi is also a root.

So, a third root will be 4 - 4i.

The factored form of a polynomial is given by:

$P(x)=a(x-p)(x-q)...$

Where a is the leading coefficient and p and q are the zeros. More factors can be added if necessary.

Substitute:

$P(x)=a(x-(2))(x-(4+4i))(x-(4-4i))$

Since we want the minimum degree, we won't need to add any exponents.

Expand the second and third factors:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (x-(4+4i))(x-(4-4i))&=(x-4-4i)(x-4+4i) \\ &= x(x-4-4i)-4(x-4-4i)+4i(x-4-4i)\\ &=x^2-4x-4ix-4x+16+16i+4ix-16i-16i^2\\ &= x^2-8x+32\end{aligned}$

Hence:

$P(x)=a(x-2)(x^2-8x+32)$

Lastly, we need to determine a. Since the y-intercept is y = 64, this means that when x = 0, y = 64. Thus:

$64=a(0-2)(0^2-8(0)+32)$

Solve for a:

$-64a=64\Rightarrow a=-1$

Our factored polynomial is:

$P(x)=-(x-2)(x^2-8x+32)$

Finally, expand:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(x) &=-(x^2(x-2)-8x(x-2)+32(x-2)) \\&=-(x^3-2x^2-8x^2+16x+32x-64)\\&=-(x^3-10x^2+48x-64)\\&= -x^3+10x^2-48x+64\end{aligned}$

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. Need an answer ASAP!

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$BE=12 units$

Step-by-step explanation:

$We\ know\ that,\\In\ a\ rectangle\ all\ diagonals\ are\ equal\ and\ bisect\ each\ other.\\Hence,\\In\ Rectangle\ ABCD,\\AE=EC\\Hence,\\Substituting\ the\ values\ we\ get:\\x+4=3x-12\\Hence,\\-2x=-16\\x=\frac{-16}{-2}=8\\Now,\\We\ also\ know\ that,\\ AC=DB\\Hence,\\\frac{AC}{2}=\frac{DB}{2} \\Hence,\\DE=EB=AE=EC\\Hence,\\Since\ AE=BE,\\BE=x+4\\We\ already\ know\ that\ x=8.\\Hence, BE=8+4=12$
