THE MIDPOINT THEOREM..

The formula used for calculating the coordinates of the midpoint of a straight line are:

x1 + x2/2, y1 + y2/2

example: find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line joining (3, -4) and (-1, 10)

solution:

using the formula provided above,
x1= 3
x2= -1
y1= -4
y2= 10

now, lets solve 1st for the coordinates of the midpoint of the x-axis:

using the formula:
x1 + x2/2

3 +(-1)/2

3 - 1/2
2/2
x=1
therefore, the coordinate of the midpoint of the x-axis is 1

now, lets solve for y:

y1 + y2/2

-4 + 10/2
6/2
y=3
therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of y-axis is 3.

therefore, we're going to bring the two answers together according to the form (x, y).

therefore, the final answer will now be:

(1, 3)

42x = 26x-1


22(2x) = 26x-1


24x = 26x-1


4x= 6x-1


4x-6x= -1


-2x= -1


x= 1/2.

42x = 26x-1

22(2x) = 26x-1

2(2x) = 6x - 1

4x = 6x - 1

1 = 6x - 4x

1 = 2x

1/2 = x

X = 1/2 = 0.5

41. Solve for x if 42x = 26x-1

Solution

24x = 26x-1

4x= 6x-1

4x-6x= -1

-2x= -1

x= 1/2...... B


42. Simplify Log45-log 9/2

Solution

Log(90/2) - Log(9/2)

Log(90/2 / 9/2)

Log (90/2 X 2/9)

Log 10

= 1. ........... A


43. Find the HCF of:

a3x2y2 = a*a*a*x*x*y*y


b3xy2= b*b*b*x*y*y


C3x2y= c*c*c*x*x*y


Common factor= x*y

HCF= xy........... C



44. Evaluate....

I think you should write the fractions out. I aint getting them.


45. If 12:22=n:1, find n

Solution

12/22 = n/1

22n= 12

n=12/22

n= 0.545.......... B


46. If #738 is divided in the ratio 3/2, 2, 10/3......


Solution.


Sharing ratio= 3/2 + 2 + 10/3

(9+12+20) / 6

41/6

Each share= #738 divided by 41/6

= #738 X 6/41

= #108


The share for 2 is

#108 X 2

= #216........ B



47. %error= actual length-error / actual length. X 100


Let error =x

(25-x)/25 X 100= 4

(2500-100x) / 25 =4

2500-100x= 25X4

2500-100x=100

-100x= 100-2500

-100x= -2400

x= 24

The measurement is wrong by,

25m-24m

= 1m......... A

xy(a+bc)-z(a+bc)


(Xy-z)(a+bc)


(A+bc)......... B



49. 5x-y varies as 10x-11y



5x-y=k(10x-11y)


K= 5x-y / 10x-11y


When x=7 and y=5


K= 5(7)-5 / 10(7)-11(5)


K= 35-5 / 70-55


K= 30 / 15


K= 2


Sub for k in 5x-y=K(10x-11y)


5x-y=2(10x-11y)


5x-y= 20x-22y


-y+22y= 20x-5x


21y= 15x


Y= 15x/21


Y= 5x/7

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS
for a system of two points, i.e (x1, y1) and (x2, y2);
the formula for calculating the distance between two points is:
d=[square root](x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2[/square root]
example one: what is the distance between the points (3, -2) and (8, 10)?
solution
using the formula given above, x1= 3,
y1= -2,
x2= 8,
y2= 10
d=[square root](8 -3)2 + (10 -(-2)2[/square root]
d=[square root](5)2 + (10 + 2)2[/square root]
d=[square root](5)2 + (12)2[/square root]
d=[square root]25 + 144[/square root] d=[square root]169[/square root]
d=13units.
therefore, the distance between the two points is 13units.

example two:

the distance between the points (x, 3) and (-x, 2) is 5. find x.

solution.

although we're going to use the same formula just like the first example, notice that this example is slightly different from the 1st one, the only difference is that we've been given the value of the distance and we're only asked to find the value of one of the coordinates.. it sounds funny abi? let's solve!

since d=square root(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2.

let's bring out all our values:
x1= x
y1= 3
x2= -x
y2= 2
d= 5units.

5=sqrt(x - (-x)2 + (2 - 3)2

5=sqrt(x + x)2 + (-1)2

5=sqrt(2x)2 + 1

5=sqrt 4x2 + 1

the square root crosses the = sign to 'marry' 5 and it becomes 52

52= 4x2 + 1

25= 4x2 + 1

collect like terms:

4x2= 25 - 1

4x2= 24

divide both sides by 4:

4x2/4= 24/4

x2= 6

now the square sign 'divorces' x and marries 6:

NB: WHEN THE SQUARE ROOT SIGN CROSSES = SIGN, IT BECOMES THE SQUARED SIGN AND VICE-VERSA

x= sqrt 6
x= 2.449units


NB: sqrt means square root

u r wrong.
how did u get 4x when the squared sign would also affect x?
(-2x)2simply means: (-2)2 * (x)2

General form of a linear equation

The general form of linear equations is: y=mx + c. examples of such equations are:
y=3x + 2 etc.

According to the general form(y=mx + c),

m=the gradient/slope of the line

c=the y-intercept, i.e the point where the line/graph crosses the y-axis.

Hope i'm making sense.
