If 2 1/2 posterboard is enough for 1/2 of the project, it will take another 2 1/2 posterboard to display the other half of the project.
2 1/2 + 2 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 4 + 1 = 5
Answer: 5 posterboard.
<span>M can have a coordinate of (-9) or (1)
There are potentially 3 different places for point M to go. It can be placed to the left of point A, between points A and B, and to the right of point B. Let's check those three possibilities.
1. Left of point A. This works if the distance between M and A is the same as the distance between A and B. So
distance between A and B = 6 - (-1.5) = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5
So the location for M would be
-1.5 - 7.5 = -9
So point M can have the value of -9.
2. Between A and B.
This would also work. Since we want a 1:2 ratio, place M one third of the way from A to B. Since we already know the distance between A and B to be 7.5, that means that we should add 7.5/3 = 2.5 to the value of A. So
-1.5 + 2.5 = 1
So point M can also have the value of 1.
3. To the right of point B
This won't work. Point B will always be closer to M than point A will be. So it's impossible to get a ratio of 1:2.</span>
Answer:
x=-5 or x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
when multiplying anything by 0, the answer will be zero
In this case, one of the two factors has to be equal to 0
start by splitting into
(x+5) = 0
solve the equation
subtract 5 from both sides
x = -5
now, repeat for the other binomial
x-3 = 0
add 3 to both sides
x=3
The distance between two points is calculated through the equation,
d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
Substituting the known values from the given above,
d = √(4 - -4)² + (4 - -4)²
d = 8√2 = 11.31
The distance between the points is approximately equal to 11.31. The value that Jason presented is not the real distance because it does not account for the other set of coordinates.
