1 answer:

Lubov Fominskaja [6]2 years ago

3 0

Answer:

(-3, 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

equation: M = (x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2

So, plug it in.

(-1-5)/2 , (-1+4)/2

-3 , 1.5

so, x = -3 and y = 1.5

The axis of symmetry for a function in the form f(x) = x2 + 4x − 5 is x = −2. What are the coordinates of the vertex of the grap

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

D) $(-2,-9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Vertex Form of a Vertical Parabola:</u>

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

Vertex -> $(h,k)$

Axis of Symmetry -> $x=h$

Vertical Scale Factor -> $a$

To turn $f(x)=x^2+4x-5$ into vertex form, we need to complete the square on the right side
Therefore, if $f(x)=0$ , then $0+9=x^2+4x-5+9$ completes the square on the right side
This becomes $9=(x+2)^2$
This means that our function in vertex form is $f(x)=(x+2)^2-9$

Therefore, the vertex of the graph is $(h,k)=(-2,-9)$ .

What is the area of this regular pentagon that has been divided into five congruent triangles?

Len [333]

Answer:

120 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of one triangle = 1/2 * base * height

= 1/2 * 8 * 6

= 1/2 * 48

= 24 cm^2

So area of the pentagon = 5 * 24

= 120 cm^2.

A university is building a new student center that is two- thirds the distance from the arts center to the residential complex.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$C = (\frac{21}{5},\frac{33}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points: (1, 9) and (9, 3)

Ratio = 2/3

Required

Determine the coordinate of the center

Represent the ratio as ratio

$Ratio = 2:3$

The new coordinate can be calculated using

$C = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{n + m},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{n + m})$

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (1, 9)$

$(x_2, y_2) = (9, 3)$

$m:n = 2:3$

Substitute these values in the equation above

$C = (\frac{2 * 9 + 3 * 1}{3 + 2},\frac{2 * 3 + 3 * 9}{2 + 3})$

$C = (\frac{18 + 3}{5},\frac{6 + 27}{5})$

$C = (\frac{21}{5},\frac{33}{5})$

Hence;

<em>The coordinates of the new center is </em> $C = (\frac{21}{5},\frac{33}{5})$ <em></em>

Determine whether the geometric series is convergent or divergent. 9 + 8 + 64/9 + 512/81 + ..... If it is convergent, find its s

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Convergent; 81

Step-by-step explanation:

r = term2/term1 = 8/9

8/9 < 1 so convergent

Sum = 9/(1 - 8/9)

= 9/(1/9) = 81
