30000 is the answer as it is ajove 20000 in comparison to rounding down
Midpoint
We know AC is a segment and B is its midpoint. This means the length of the segment AB is half the length of the segment AC. This also means the length of the segment BC is half the length of AC, and equal to AB.
This can be visualized as follows:
Since AB=7, then BC = 7 and AC=AB+BC = 14
Answer: BC = 7, and AC=!4
To make that graph you follow these steps.
1) Set the cartesian coordinate system:
- vertical axis: y
- horizontal axis: x
- positive x-semi axis: to the right
- negative x-semi axis: to the left
- positive y-semi axis: upward
- negative y semi axis: dwonward
2) solve the inequality for y:
given: -2x + 5y > 15
transpose-2x: 5y > 15 + 2x
divide by 5: y > 3 + (2/5)x
3) Graph-
draw the line y = 3 + (2/5)x, using a dotted line (i.e. - - - - - -)
- remember that 3 is the y intercept, and 2/5 is the slope
- the line is dotted because
the solution does not include the points in the line.
- the solution is the
region above and to the left of the dotted line.
4) See the
figure attached for better visualization: the pink region is the solution of the inequality.
