Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:






This implies
x+2=4
and
-(x+2)=-4.
x+2=4 implies x=2 since subtract 2 on both sides gives us x=2.
Solving -(x+2)=-4 should give us the same value.
Multiply both sides by -1:
x+2=4
It is the same equation as the other.
You will get x=2 either way.
Let's check:


Put both sides into your calculator and see if you get the same thing on both sides:
Left hand side gives 256/81.
Right hand side gives 256/81.
Both side are indeed the same for x=2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Midpoints of two coordinates is expressed using the formula;
M(X, Y) = (x2+x1/2, y2+y1/2)
Given the coordinates c(5,3) and d(-3,-6)
x1 = 5, y1 = 3, x2 = -3 and y2 = -6
X = x1+x2/2
X = 5+(-3)/3
X = 5-3/2
X = 2/2
X = 1
Also;
Y = y1+y2/2
Y = 3+(-6)/2
Y = 3-6/2
Y = -3/2
Y = -1.5
Answer:
x=4/3 or x=-7/2

Answer:
y = (x - 4)² - 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.
Given
y = (x + 1)(x - 9) ← expand factors using FOIL, thus
y = x² - 8x - 9
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 8x
y = x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16 - 9
= (x - 4)² - 25 ← in vertex form
