Answer:

5i and -5i

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of these would have to be in the equation for either of them to work, and as the problem already told us that there is only a 3rd root, neither will be our answer.

Have a great day, and feel free to comment with questions!

Answer:

5i and -5i

Step-by-step explanation:

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$(\frac{-9}{2},\frac{11}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to use the midpoint formula which is

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

so you plug your numbers in

$(\frac{-12+3}{2},\frac{-3+-8}{2})$

Add the tops

$(\frac{-9}{2} ,\frac{-11}{2} )$

if possible simplify

and that is your answer
