Answer:

It should still be the same point.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should still be the same point, since the line did not increase in length, but the numbers of units has, and that does not affect the position of the half of the line.

Answer:

4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an infinite number of fractions equal to 1/2, but the number line in the question has 8 spaces, and shows 1 divided into 8 pieces. Therefore, the answer to this question is likely 4/8.

(may I ask why exactly this is put as a college level problem?)

Calculate the axis of symmetry in the equation Y = (x+1) (x-4)

algol [13]

Answer:

Every parabola has a turning point called the axis of symmetry,so for this question you just have to find the turning points

x turning point= -b/2a,and the y turning point is gotten by replacing the value of x in the equation

y=(x+1)(x-4)

=x^2-3x-4

a is 1,b is -3 and c is -4

x= -(-3)/2(1)

=1.5

and y=x^2-3x-4

=1.5^2-3(1.5)-4

= -6.25

therefore the axis of symmetry is (1.5,-6.25)

A suit case measures 24 inches long and the diagonal is 26 inches long. How much material is needed to cover one side of the sui

ASHA 777 [7]

It helps to draw diagrams when working through problems like this.

Given a rectangular prism (the suitcase), drawing a diagonal through its side will give you two right triangles. You can use the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle) to find the length of the unknown side. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the diagonal since it is the longest side, and it is opposite the right angle.

a² + b² = c²

a² + 24² = 26²

a² + 576 = 676

a² = 100

a = 10 in

Remember that this is only the side length of the triangle. To find the amount of material needed to cover one side of the suitcase, we need its area. We can find the area using the formula for area of a rectangle: A = bh.

A = bh

A = 10*24

A = 240 in²

<h3>Answer:</h3>

240 in²
