At centroid medians bisect each other in the ratio 2:1

$\\ \sf\longmapsto OC=2(OD)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(3x-2)=5x$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x-4=5x$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x-5x=4$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=4$

Which function has zeros at x = 10 and x = 2?

Tasya [4]

Answer:

f(x) = x2 – 12x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

if it has those zeros, then it is (x-10)(x-2)

if you multiply that out, you get x^2 - 12x +20

he weight of a chimpanzee, y, in pounds, x months after birth is modeled by the equation y=1.5x+8. Which represents the equation

soldi70 [24.7K]

The equation that represents x when solved is $x=\frac{y-8}{1.5}$

Given the equation that expresses the weight of a chimpanzee with respect to the months of birth as:

y = 1.5x + 8

We are to express x in terms of "y"

$y = 1.5x + 8$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$y -8= 1.5x + 8-8\\y-8 = 1.5x\\Swap\\1.5x = y - 8$

Divide both sides by 1.5

$\frac{1.x}{1.5}= \frac{y-8}{1.5} \\x=\frac{y-8}{1.5} \\$

Hence the equation that represents x when solved is $x=\frac{y-8}{1.5}$
