Answer:

B = (7, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 2M -A

B = 2(3, 4) -(-1, 6) = (2·3-(-1), 2·4-6)

B = (7, 2)

_____

The expression for the other end point, B, comes from the equation for the midpoint.

M = (A +B)/2

2M = A + B . . . . . multiply by 2

2M -A = B . . . . . . subtract A to get an expression for B

Classify each characteristic according to whether it is true for an amoeba, a clock, or both.

Stells [14]

Answer:

Amoeba is a single celled eukaryotic organism, found in the water body. These organisms have a false feet called as pseudopodium. It helps in the locomotion and captures food from the external environment. The organism does not exhibit a well defined shape. It has organelles like nucleus and vacuoles surrounded by cytoplasm. The food being captured by psuedopodium is engulfed inside a vacuole. It reproduces by the process of asexual reproduction called as binary fission. The genetic material replicates by the mitotic division, then the cell divides into two equal daughter cells. The amoeba obtains energy from food, and it uses this energy to move, capture food and reproduce.

A clock is a non-living thing. That displays time. It has three needles or hands, the bigger hand displays hour, the small one displays minutes and the thin needle displays seconds. These hands or needles uses energy from a cell or battery.

Characteristics features of amoeba are as follows:

Uses energy

Has internal organization

Characteristics features of clock are as follows:

Uses energy

Contains cells

Lacks genetic material reproduces

Has a defined boundary

Has internal organization

Which expressions are equivalent to RootIndex 3 StartRoot 128 EndRoot Superscript x? Select three correct answers.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

<h3>- 128 Superscript StartFraction 3 Over x EndFraction </h3><h3>- (4RootIndex 3 StartRoot 2 EndRoot)x </h3><h3>- (4 (2 Superscript one-third Baseline) ) Superscript x</h3><h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Given the indicinal equation $(\sqrt[3]{128} )^{x}\\$

According to one of the law of indices,

$(\sqrt[a]{m} )^{b}\\= (\sqrt{m})^\frac{b}{a}$

Applying this law to the question;

$(\sqrt[3]{128} )^{x}\\ = {128} ^\frac{x}{3}\\ \\= (\sqrt[3]{64*2})^{x} \\ = (4\sqrt[3]{2})^{x} \\= (4(2^{1/3} )^{x} )$

The following are therefore true based on the following calculation

128 Superscript StartFraction 3 Over x EndFraction

(4RootIndex 3 StartRoot 2 EndRoot)x

(4 (2 Superscript one-third Baseline) ) Superscript x

Miss Croft made snack bags for the picnic that contain three types of snacks: packages of crackers, packages of cookies, and can

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of cracker be a.

Let the cost of cookies be b.

Let the cost of candy bars be c.

From the question,

6a + 6b + 6c = $21

8a + 5b + 10c = $26

5a + 4b + 7c = $18.50

To solve this, we first pick any two pairs of equation. This will be:

6a + 6b + 6c = $21 ....... i

8a + 5b + 10c = $26 ....... ii

Multiply equation i by 8

Multiply equation ii by 6

48a + 48b + 48c = $168 ....... iii

48a + 30b + 60c = $156 ....... iv

Subtract equation iv from iii

18b - 12c = 12

We then pick another two pairs

8a + 5b + 10c = $26

5a + 4b + 7c = $18.50

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 8

40a + 25b + 50c = $130

40a + 32b + 56c = $148

Subtract the equations

-7b - 6c = -18

Then, solve the new equations formed

18b - 12c = 12 ....... v

-7b - 6c = -18 ....... vi

Multiply equation i by -7

Multiply equation ii by 18

-126b + 84c = -84

-126b - 108c = -324

Subtract the equations

192c = 240

c = 240/129

c = $1.25

From equation v, put the value of c

18b - 12c = 12

18b - 12($1.25) = 12

18b - $15 = $12

18b = $27

b = $27/18

b = $1.5

Since,

6a + 6b + 6c = $21

6a + 6($1.5) + 6($1.25) = $21

6a + $9 + $7.5 = $21

6a + $16.5 = $21

6a = $21 - $16.5

6a = $4.5

a = $4.5/6

a = $0.75

One candy bar cost $1.25

The mechanics at Giuseppe’s Auto House specialize in changing fuel injection units and transmissions. Last week, they changed 5

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The solution is (2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of hours to change a fuel injection unit

y-----> the number of hours to change a transmission

we know that

5x+10y=70 -----> equation A

8x+8y=64 -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (2,6)
