Answer:

<em>See the proof below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following coordinates

P(2, −1)

Midpoint of PQ M(3, 0)

We can get the coordinate point Q using the midpoint formula;

M(X,Y) = (x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2)

X = x1+x2/2

3 = 2+x2/2

6 = 2+x2

x2 = 6-2

x2 = 4

Y = y1+y2/2

0 = -1+y2/2

0 = -1 + y2

y2 = 0+1

y2 = 1

<em>Hence the coordinate of Q is (4, 1)</em>

Next is to get the coordinate of R

Given the midpoint of QR to be N(5, 3)

(5,3) = (4+x2/2, 1+y2/2)

5 = 4+x2/2

10 = 4+x2

x2 = 10-4

x2 = 6

1+y2/2 = 3

1+y2 = 6

y2 = 6-1

y2 = 5

<em>Hence the coordinate of R is (6,5)</em>

<em></em>

Given the coordinates M(3, 0) and N(5, 3)

Slope is expressed as:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 3-0/5-3

m = 3/2

Slope of MN = 3/2

Get the slope of PR

Given the coordinates P(2, −1) and R (6,5)

Slope of PR = 5-(-1)/6-2

Slope of PR = 5+1/4

Slope of PR = 6/4 = 3/2

<em>Since the slope of MN is equal to that of PR, hence MN is parallel to PR i.e MN || PR</em>

<em></em>

To show that MN = 1/2PR, we will have to take the distance between M and N and also P and R first as shown:

For MN with coordinates  M(3, 0) and N(5, 3)

MN = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

MN = √(5-3)²+(3-0)²

MN = √2²+3²

MN = √13

Get the length of PR where P(2, −1) and R (6,5)

PR = √(6-2)²+(5+1)²

PR = √4²+6²

PR = √16+36

PR = √52

PR = √4*13

PR = √4*√13

PR = 2√13

Since MN = √13

PR = 2MN

Divide both sides by 2

PR/2 = 2MN/2

PR/2 = MN

Hence MN = 1/2 PR (Proved!)

What is the maximum height of h(t)=-16t^2+16t+480
lorasvet [3.4K]
There's a negative in a, so it would have an invisible -1 multiplying the whole equation.
-1(16t^2-16t-480)
Then you take two numbers that multiply to 16*-480
and add to -16. Let's hide out the -1 for now until the end to make it easier for us.
In this case, it would be -96 and 80 because 16*-480 = -7680 and multiplying -96 by 80 results in same product while adding up to -16.
Then you put those numbers in.
(16t^2-96t+80t-480)
Start to factor them by adding brackets and using GCF to separate them.
(16t^2-96t)+(80t-480)
Again, with GCF to simplify even more.
16t(t-6)+80(t-6)
And re-arrange to form the numbers into factored form cause of distributive property.
(16t+80)(t-6)
GCF to simplify to lowest terms.
16(t+5)(t-6)
Bring back the -1 we hid.
-16(t+5)(t-6)
Important Note: in vertex and factored form, the plus/positive signs within the brackets mean left side into negative x-values, and negative signs within brackets mean right side into positive x-values. In this case, your x-intercepts/zeros are (-5,0) and (6,0).

A person can't go into negative time, so they start from 0 and hit into the positive number of the x-int, so that's (6,0). 6 seconds. Find midpoint by adding the two x-int and dividing by 2.
h= \frac{-5+6}{2} \\  \\ h= \frac{1}{2}
Take the midpoint and plug into your quadratic equation to find your max height. Use a calculator for this.

Sum of 4x^3+6x^2+2x^2-3 and 3x^3+3x^2-5x-5 is
spin [16.1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7x^3 +11x^2 -5x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms.

  (4x^3+6x^2+2x^2-3) + (3x^3+3x^2-5x-5)

  = (4 +3)x^3 +(6 +2 +3)x^2 +(-5)x + (-3 -5)

  = 7x^3 +11x^2 -5x -8

_____

Noting that the first expression contains two x^2 terms, we wonder if you actually want the sum ...

  (4x^3+6x^2+2x-3) + (3x^3+3x^2-5x-5)

  = (4 +3)x^3 +(6 +3)x^2 +(2 -5)x +(-3 -5)

  = 7x^3 +9x^2 -3x -8

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line.<br> (1,3) <br> (0,1)<br> m=4
Anna [14]

Given coordinates (1,3) and (0,1).

In order to find the equation of line, we need to find the slope between given coordinates.

We know slope formula,

m= \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

We have (x1,y1) = (1,3) and (x2,y2) = (0,1).

Plugging values of x1,y1,x2 and y2 in slope formula, we get

m=\frac{1-3}{0-1}

Simplifying top and bottom of the fraction we got for slope

m=\frac{-2}{-1}=2

We got slope m=2.

We are given second point (0,1), where x-coordinate is 0 and y-coordinate is 1.

y-intercept is a point on y-axis, where x=0.

Therefore, y-intercept = 1.

Now, applying slope-intercept form of the linear equation

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

m=2 and b=1.

Plugging values of m and b in slope-intercept form, we get

y=2x+1.

Therefore, point-slope form for the line is y=2x+1.
