To solve for k, just plug in the x provided:

12^2 - k(12) - 36 = 0

144 - k(12) = 36

-k(12) = 1/4

k = -1/48

U(8, 9) and V(2, 5) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

(5, 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 points (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ 0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

here (x₁, y₁ ) = U(8, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = V(2, 5), thus

midpoint = [0.5(8 + 2), 0.5(9 + 5) ] = [0.5(10), 0.5(14) ] = (5, 7 )

If x+1/x = 5 find the value of x^3 +1/x^3. pls solve

Korolek [52]

Answer:

1) solve x+1/x = 5

$\frac{x + 1}{x} = 5$

$x + 1 = 5x$

$x - 5x = - 1$

$- 4x = - 1$

$x = \frac{ -1}{ - 4}$

$x = \frac{1}{4}$

2) solve x³+1/x³

$x {}^{3} + \frac{1}{x {}^{3} }$

substitute x = 1/4 into the expression

$( \frac{1}{4} ) {}^{3} + \frac{1}{( \frac{1}{4}) {}^{3} }$

$\frac{1}{64} + \frac{1}{ \frac{1}{64} }$

$\frac{1}{64} + \frac{64 \times 1}{1}$

$\frac{1}{64} + 64$

$\frac{4097}{64} \: or \: 64.02$

Angles ABC and DBE are vertical angles, with angle ABC = 4x, and angle DBE =( 2x+18)

Dmitrij [34]

V<span>ertical angles are equal.
We have 4x = 2x + 18.
Then, 2x = 18;
x = 18 </span>÷ 2;
x = 9 degrees;
The measure of angle DBE is 2 × 9 + 18 = 36 degrees.
