given the midpoint and one endpoint of a line segment, find the other endpoint. endpoint: (4, 10) midpoint: (5, 9)

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is (6, 8).

EXPLANATION

If you are given two numbers, you can find the number exactly between them by averaging them, by adding them together and dividing by two. The Midpoint Formula works exactly the same way. If you need to find the point that is exactly halfway between two given points, just average the x-values and the y-values.

That is:

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

But since the midpoint is given, we'll work this out in a different way.

To find the x of the other endpoint or x2, we'll have first to plug-in the given x values in the midpoint and x1.

So,

$m = \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \\ 5= \frac{4 + x2}{2}\\ 10= 4 + x2 \\ x2 = 6$

Now, let's proceed to y2.

$m = \frac{y1 + y2}{2} \\ 9= \frac{10 + y2}{2}\\ 18= 10 + y2 \\ y2 = 8$

So now you have the x and y values of the other endpoint: (6,8).

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 252$

The number that tested positive is $k_1 = 18$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 476$

The number that tested positive is $k_2 = 20$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally the first sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _1 = \frac{k_1 }{ n_1 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = \frac{18 }{ 252 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = 0.071$

Generally the second sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _2 = \frac{k_2 }{ n_2 }$

=> $\^ p _2 = \frac{20 }{ 476}$

=> $\^ p _2 = 0.042$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p_1 - p_2 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p_1 - p_2 \ne 0$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented

$z = \frac{ \^ p_1 - \^ p_2 - ( p_ 1 - p_2 )}{ \sqrt{\frac{\^ p_1 (1-\^ p_1)}{ n_1 } + \frac{\^ p_2 (1-\^ p_2)}{ n_2 } } }$

=> $z = \frac{ 0.071 - 0.042 - 0 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.071 (1-0.071)}{ 252 } + \frac{0.042 (1-\^ 0.042)}{ 476 } } }$

=> $z = 1.56$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to 1.56 is

$P(Z > 1.56 ) =0.05938$

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2 * P(Z > 1.56 )$

=> $p-value = 2 * 0.05938$

=> $p-value = 0.1188$

From the value obtained we see that $p-value > \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

What is 54/12 in a mixed number?

____ [38]

12 can go into 54 only 4 times because 4•12 is 48. Now 56-48=6 so this is the remainder 6/12 wish can be simplified to 1/2 so your answer is 4 1/2 or 4.5. Hope this helps <333

Let f(x)=x^3-x-1

alexira [117]

$f(x) = x^3 - x - 1$

To find the gradient of the tangent, we must first differentiate the function.

$f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^3 - x - 1) = 3x^2 - 1$

The gradient at x = 0 is given by evaluating f'(0).

$f'(0) = 3(0)^2 - 1 = -1$

The derivative of the function at this point is negative, which tells us <em>the function is decreasing at that point</em>.

The tangent to the line is a straight line, so we will have a linear equation of the form y = mx + c. We know the gradient, m, is equal to -1, so

$y = -x + c$

Now we need to substitute a point on the tangent into this equation to find c. We know a point when x = 0 lies on here. To find the y-coordinate of this point we need to evaluate f(0).

$f(0) = (0)^3 - (0) - 1 = -1$

So the point (0, -1) lies on the tangent. Substituting into the tangent equation:

$y = -x + c \\\\ -1 = -(0) + c \\\\ -1 = c \\\\ \text{Equation of tangent is } \boxed{y = -x - 1}$

Multiply the following complex numbers: (-7+ ) and ( + i). Show all work and explain the steps you are taking in the work.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

in complex number land there are two distict parts real.. the first number and imaginary.. the second number with the i

if your problem really only has a 7 and an i in it.. then it looks like below

7 * i = 7i

but..I suspect you just left out a bit of the problem.. repost .. i'll answer it again if the problem is different that what you posted already :)
