Point M is the midpoint of CD. What is the value of a in the figure?

Answer:

a=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points (a, b) and (c,d), the midpoint of the points will be at

((a+c)/2, ((b+d)/2)

Therefore, given (9, 2) and (a,2a), our midpoint is at

((9+a)/2, (2+2a)/2) = (6,4)

Matching the x values to their corresponding x values and doing the same with the y values, we get

(9+a)/2 = 6

(2+2a)/2 = 4

First, we have

(9+a)/2 = 6

multiply both sides by 2 to remove the denominator

9+a = 12

subtract 9 from both sides to isolate a

a = 3

2a = 2 * a = 6

Confirming this, we have

(2+2a)/2 = 4

(2+6)/2 = 4

8/2=4

Which of the following is the minimum value of the equation y = 2x2 + 5?
raketka [301]
(0, 5) is the minimum value.

Find the axis of symmetry by plugging the respective variables into -b/2a

-5/2(0) = 0

There is no b-value in our equation, or rather, the value of b is 0. To see this, y = 2x^2 + 5 can be written as

y = 2x^2 + 0x + 5

We plug 0 into f(x), establishing every x-value as 0.

f(0) = 2(0)^2 + 5
f(0) = 0 + 5
f(0) = 5

5 is now your vertex’s y-value. Plot the two values together.

(0, 5)

We know that this is a minimum because the leading coefficient is positive, meaning the the graph’s parabola will open down.

Solutions of 3x+2y=4 and 6x+4y=8
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, you can solve this easily by elimination. Multiply the first equation by -2 in order to cancel out terms when adding to the second equation.

2) Then, add the new set of equations together. However, everything cancels out, bringing us to 0 = 0. This means that the lines the equations make must be the same. Thus, all real numbers must make this equation true, meaning that there are infinite solutions.
