15. What is the midpoint between the two points A(4, -6) and B(-6,-4)

1 answer:

8 0

It’s C.

There are a lot of ways to do midpoint, but I like to separate it into x and y and then combine the two. If you find the average of the two x coordinates ((A(x) + B(x) / 2), you get the midpoint of the x’s.

4 + (-6) = -2
-2 / 2 = -1
-1 is the x, now do the same for the y.

-6 + (-4) = -10
-10 / 2 = -5
-5 is the y.

All you have to do now is format it. It’s always (x, y) so the answer is (-1, -5) or C.

Given the polynomial, 8x^2 + 3x - 5, identify the following:

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Part A) The polynomial has three terms

Part B) The terms are $8x^{2} , 3x\ and\ -5$

Part C) Is a 2nd degree polynomial

Part D) The name of the polynomial is a 2nd degree trinomial

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Polynomials can be classified two different ways - by the number of terms and by their degree.

we have

$8x^{2} +3x-5$

The polynomial has three terms

The terms are

$8x^{2} , 3x\ and\ -5$

therefore

The polynomial is a trinomial

The degree of the polynomial is found by looking at the term with the highest exponent on its variable(s).

The term is $8x^{2}$

The highest exponent is the 2 so this is a 2nd degree polynomial

therefore

The name of the polynomial is a 2nd degree trinomial

Find an equation of the line through (3,6) and parallel to y = 4x - 7.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$y=4x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, to do this we must understand what parallel means.

parallel means that that one line will NEVER touch the other. In order for this to happen they must be increasing (or decreasing) by the SAME rate. I.e the slope of your line must be the same as the lin in question thus our equation looks like,

$y=4x+c$ .
