Answer:

(-2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoints are found when you do ([x(subscript A) + x(subscript B)]/2, [y(subscript A) + y(subscript B)]. Therefore your equation (for x of B) should look like this:

-4 = ([-6+x]/2)

After you solve for x, you should have gotten -2 for x.

Then you do the same for y:

2 = ([5+y]/2)

You should get -1. Your final answer should be (-2, -1)

what number become double when you divide by itself and become its half when you multiply it by itself

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 times 1/2 equals .25 (.25 is 1/4 which is half of 1/2)

1/2 divided by 1/2 is 1( 1 is 1/2 plus 1/2)

PLEASE HELP

valina [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 3 unknowns: a, b, and c. It's our job to find them algebraically. I'm going to start with the point where x = 0 and y = 7. You'll see why in a minute. Filling in the standard form of a quadratic

$y=ax^2+bx+c$ using (0, 7):

$7=a(0)^2+b(0)+c$ gives you that c = 7. We will use that value now when we write the next 2 equations. Now the point (-2, 19):

$19=a(-2)^2+b(-2)+7$ and

$19=4a-2b+7$ so

12 = 4a - 2b

Now for the next point (-1, 12):

$12=a(-1)^2+b(-1)+7$ and

$12=a-b+7$ so

5 = a - b

Now we have a system of equations (the 2 bold font equations) that we will solve by elimination:

12 = 4a - 2b

5 = a - b

Multiply the bottom equation by -4 to get a new system:

12 = 4a - 2b

-20 = -4a + 4b

Add those together to get rid of the a terms and end up with

-8 = 2b so

b = -4

Now we can sub in -4 for b to solve for a. I'm using the second bold type equation to do this:

5 = a - (-4) and

5 = a + 4 so

a = 1 and the equation for the quadratic function is

$y=x^2-4x+7$

Two friends are collecting stuffed animals. Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted

STatiana [176]

v + m = 32 and v = 5 + 2m are the equations that are used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has

Number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "v" be the number of stuffed animals with Veronica

Let "m" be the number of stuffed animals with Mariposa

Given that,

Together, they have 32 stuffed animals

Therefore,

v + m = 32 --------- eqn 1

Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted animals as her friend Mariposa

Therefore,

Number of stuffed animals with Veronica = 5 + 2(number of stuffed animals with Mariposa)

v = 5 + 2m ---------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 can be used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

5 + 2m + m = 32

5 + 3m = 32

3m = 32 - 5

3m = 27

Substitute m = 9 in eqn 2

v = 5 + 2(9)

v = 5 + 18

Thus number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
