Line segment GT contains the point G(−3, 5) and a midpoint at A(1, −4). What is the location of endpoint T?

Imagine you're moving along the segment. Since the midpoint is in the middle of the segment (obviously), it means that when you've traveled from G to A, you're halfway through your journey, along both x and y directions. So, let's break the problem in two and analyze both directions.


Along the x axis, you've moved from -3 to 1, so you moved 4 units forward. This means that you have 4 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate 5.


Similarly, along the y axis, you've moved from 5 to -4, so you moved 9 units downward. This means that you have 9 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate -13.


So, the coordinates of the endpoint are T = (5,-13)


If you prefer a more analyitical approach, simply write the definition of the midpoint and solve it for the coordinates of T.


We have G = (-3, 5) and T = (x_T,y_T). The midpoint is computed as


A = \left( \frac{-3+x_T}{2},\frac{5+y_T}{2} \right) = (1, -4)


So, you have the equations


\frac{-3+x_T}{2} = 1,\qquad \frac{5+y_T}{2} = -4


Multply both equations by 2 to get


-3+x_T = 2,\qquad 5+y_T = -8


Move the constants to the right hand sides to get


x_T = 5,\qquad y_T = -13

TBH, i am not sure what im doing. Here is a pic of the question.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

  7

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of operations tells you to start any evaluation by looking at the innermost set of parentheses first.

Here, that means your first step is to find the value of h(-3). You do that by finding the input (x) value -3 in the table for h(x), and locating the corresponding output, h(x), which is 2.

Now, the problem becomes evaluating g(2).

You do the same thing for that function: locate the input x=2 in the table for g(x) and find the corresponding output: 7.

Now, you know ...

  g(h(-3)) = g(2) = 7

3+2⋅[(2+1)⋅5+8] need the answer please
s2008m [1.1K]

Hey!

----------------------------------------------

Solution:

Remember to follow PEMDAS!

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(2 + 1) ⋅ 5 + 8]

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(3) ⋅ 5 + 8]

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(15) + 8]

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [23]

= 3 + 46

= 49

----------------------------------------------

Answer:

49
