Which question? Lets say #1. What this picture is saying is that you have a line segment AB and the point M is in the middle (We know this because the tick marks between segment AM and segment MB say that they are equal). So AM = 13 and thus MB = 13 and therefore AB = 26.
Answer: AB = 26.
Answer:
3 x -3y = -9y
3 x -1 = -3
The factored expression is 3(-3y - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is -9y / 3 = -3y and -3 / 3 = -1, then put those numbers in parentheses. All of that is multiplied by 3.
The reason is because if you distributed the 3 it would become:
3 * -3y + 3 * -1 = -9y - 3
Answer:
1.The quotient of two negative integers is positive.
3.The quotient of two integers with the same sign is positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> be the zeroes of <em>x</em>² + <em>kx</em> + 12 such that |<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>| = 1.
By the factor theorem, we can write the quadratic in terms of its zeroes as
<em>x</em>² + <em>kx</em> + 12 = (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) (<em>x</em> - <em>b</em>)
Expand the right side and equate the coefficients:
<em>x</em>² + <em>kx</em> + 12 = <em>x</em>² - (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) <em>x</em> + <em>ab</em>
Then
<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -<em>k</em>
<em>ab</em> = 12
The condition that |<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>| = 1 has two cases, so without loss of generality assume <em>a</em> > <em>b</em>, so that |<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>| = <em>a</em> - <em>b</em>.
Then if <em>a</em> - <em>b</em> = 1, we get <em>b</em> = <em>a</em> - 1. Substitute this into the equations above and solve for <em>k</em> :
<em>a</em> + (<em>a</em> - 1) = -<em>k</em> → 2<em>a</em> = 1 - <em>k</em> → <em>a</em> = (1 - <em>k</em>)/2
<em>a</em> (<em>a</em> - 1) = 12 → (1 - <em>k</em>)/2 • ((1 - <em>k</em>)/2 - 1) = 12
→ (1 - <em>k</em>)²/4 - (1 - <em>k</em>)/2 = 12
→ (1 - <em>k</em>)² - 2 (1 - <em>k</em>) = 48
→ (1 - 2<em>k</em> + <em>k</em>²) - 2 (1 - <em>k</em>) = 48
→ <em>k</em>² - 1 = 48
→ <em>k</em>² = 49
→ <em>k</em> = ± √(49) = ±7
