Answer:

(1, 6). The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from P to Q, we see that x increases by 6 and y increases by 3.

"Trisect" means "divide into three equal subintervals."

We find (1/3) of 6 (which comes out to 2) and (1/3) of 3 (which comes out to 1).

Thus, the first junction (between 1st and 2nd trisection) is (-1 + 2, 5 + 1), or (1, 6). The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

Answer:

2x2+9x−1=x

Step 1: Subtract x from both sides.

2x2+9x−1−x=x−x

2x2+8x−1=0

Step 2: Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=8, c=-1.

−b±√b2−4ac

−(8)±√(8)2−4(2)(−1)

2(2)

−8±√72

x=−2+

√2 or x=−2+

−3

√2

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding or subtracting fractions, they must have the same denominator.

$\dfrac{5}{9}-\boxed{\dfrac{?}{?}}=\dfrac{12}{54}\\\\\\\dfrac{5}{9}\bigg(\dfrac{6}{6}\bigg)-\boxed{\dfrac{?}{?}}=\dfrac{12}{54}\\\\\\\dfrac{30}{54}-\boxed{\dfrac{?}{?}}=\dfrac{12}{54}\\\\\\\dfrac{30}{54}-\boxed{\dfrac{18}{54}}=\dfrac{12}{54}\\\\\\\text{Simplify}\quad \dfrac{18}{54}\div \dfrac{18}{18}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}$
