Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a solution between x = 1.1 and x = 1.2 then there will be a change in sign when the equation is evaluated at the points, indicating the graph has crossed the x- axis, where the solution lies.

Given

x³ + 4x = 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x³ + 4x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

Evaluating for x = 1.1

(1.1)³ + 4(1.1) - 6

= 1.331 + 4.4 - 6 = - 0.269 ← < 0

Evaluating for x = 1.2

(1.2)³ + 4(1.2) - 6

= 1.728 + 4.8 - 6 = 0.528 ← > 0

Since there is a change in sign the graph has crossed the x-axis from below / indicating a solution between x = 1.1 and x = 1.2

How do I find the midpoint

Hunter-Best [27]

To find the midpoint of a line use the midpoint formula which is M = (x1+x2/2 , y1 +y2/2) After plugging in the coordinates for your variables you should get (-1+5/2, -1+2/2) This simplifies to (2, 1/2) which is the coordinates for the middle point of the base XY.

Which expressions are equivalent??

Brilliant_brown [7]

Given:

The given expression is $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$

We need to determine the equivalent expression.

Option A: -1

Solving the expression, we get;

$\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15$

Simplifying, we get;

$14+15=29$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is not equivalent to -1.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: 29

Solving the expression, we get;

$\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15$

Simplifying, we get;

$14+15=29$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to 29.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Let us rewrite the given expression.

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

Option D: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)$

Rewriting the expression, we get;

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Hence, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent not to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)$

Thus, Option D is not the correct answer.

Option E: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we get;

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Hence, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Thus, Option E is the correct answer.
