Answer:
x1 = 2 -
x2= 2 +
Step-by-step explanation:
x/4 + 6 = 7 + 1/4x
(x^2 - 1)/4x = 1
x^2 - 1 = 4x
x^2 - 4x -1 = 0
x= (4+
)/2 = 2 -
x= 2 +
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The depth readings are</u>
- The first mission: - 2 3/4 fathoms
- The second mission: - 2 5/8 fathoms
<u>Comparing the readings</u>
- - 2 3/4 = - 2 6/8 and - 2 5/8
<u>Absolute values compared</u>
Indicating the greater value on the first mission
As per above, the first mission was deeper
Ok, you can refer to the midpoint formula to find the endpoint. Here goes...
MP=(2,-7) and EP=(8,-5)
Let x represent the missing endpoint.
(8+x)/2=2 NOTE: =2 represents first number of MP and the representation of number 8 is self explanatory. You have two endpoints but need to identify the other endpoint so you divide by 2. Then, multiply by two on both sides.
2(8+x)/2 = 2*2
16+x/2=4 do the next step (simplify) on the left side of equation 16x/2=8
Now, subtract 4-8=-4 So, the x coordinated of the missing endpoint is -4.
