Step-by-step explanation:

(a + b)² = 9

(b + c)² = 25

(a + c)² = 81

Taking the square root:

a + b = ±3

b + c = ±5

a + c = ±9

By adding these three equations together and dividing both sides by 2, we get the value of a + b + c.

Possible combinations for a + b + c such that the sum is greater than or equal to 1 are:

a + b + c = (-3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 11/2

a + b + c = (3 − 5 + 9)/2 = 7/2

a + b + c = (3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 17/2

What would be the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints at (0,1) and (5,7) ?

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

(2.5, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ), then midpoint is

[0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Given

(0, 1) and (5, 7), then

midpoint = [ 0.5(0 + 5), 0.5(1 + 7) ] = (0.5(5), 0.5(8)) = (2.5, 4)
