Answer:

The midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (-2, 5) and (6, -9) is: (2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points are:

(-2, 5) and (6, -9)

The mid-point is the point that divides a line segment in two equal parts.

Let M be the mid-point then

$M(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Let

(x1,y1) = (-2, 5)

(x2,y2) = (6, -9)

Putting the values in the formula, we get

$M(x,y) = (\frac{-2+6}{2}, \frac{5-9}{2})\\M(x,y) = (\frac{4}{2}, \frac{-4}{2})\\= (2,-2)$

Hence,

The midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (-2, 5) and (6, -9) is: (2,-2)

erica [24]

Answer:

It can either be rational or irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation ax²+bx+5 = 0, to get the zeros of the function, we will factorize the function to have;

ax²+bx = -5

x(ax+b) = -5

x = -5 and ax+b = -5

From the second function we have;

ax+b = -5

ax = -5-b

x = -5-b/a

This shows that the other value of x can be rational or irrational depending on the values of a and b

The heights of the trees in a forest are normally distributed, with a mean of 25 meters and a standard deviation of 6 meters. Wh

Alla [95]

Answer:

2.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to convert x into z distribution is

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Where z is the test statistic

x is what we are looking for (in this case 37)

$\mu$ is the mean (in this case, it is 25)

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation (we have 6)

<em>Plugging these into the formula, we get:</em>

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\z=\frac{37-25}{6}\\z=2$

Thus we can say we want $P(z\geq 2)$

<u>Note: </u> $P(z\geq a)=1-P(z\leq a)$

The table given is for any z where $P(z\leq a)$

Thus, now we have:

$P(z\geq 2)\\=1-P(z\leq 2)\\=1-0.9772\\=0.0228\\$

0.0228 into percentage is 0.0228 * 100 = 2.28%

Rounded, we get 2.3%

Third answer choice is right.

A Venn diagram is shown below: a Venn diagram showing two categories, A and B. In the A only circle is 1 and 2, in the B circle

erica [24]

The correct answer is {1, 2, 5, 6}.

A intersect B would be {3, 4}; the complement of this is everything else.

so this is how i was taught the inverse function. f(x) is basicly the same thing as saying y

so y=x over x+3

you switch the top x with y so it turns in to x=y over x+3

the problem should tell you what x equals so substitute x with the number it equals and then solve

here is an example f(x)=x over x+3 and x=14

x=y over x+3

14=y over 14+3

the inverse inverse function would probably be just solve the equation so just substitute the number they give you for x in for x
