To find the midpoint of a line use the midpoint formula which is M = (x1+x2/2 , y1 +y2/2) After plugging in the coordinates for your variables you should get (-1+5/2, -1+2/2) This simplifies to (2, 1/2) which is the coordinates for the middle point of the base XY.

Just by comparing the plots of f(x) and g(x), it's clear that g(x) is just some positive scalar multiple of f(x), so that for some constant k, we have
g(x) = k • f(x) = kx² = (√k x)²
The plot of the transformed function g(x) = (√k x)² passes through the point (1, 4), which means
g(1) = (√k • 1)² = 4
and it follows that k = 4. So g(x) = 4x² = (2x)² and B is the correct choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
with your square root symbol I never know what is inside the square root and what is possibly outside.
so, I can only guess and see what comes close.
f(x) = 2x² + x - 1
g(x) = sqrt(2x - 1) ??? is that so ?
h(x) = -2
2g(f(x)) + h(x)
g(f(x)) means that the whole f(x) expression is used as x in g(x).
the whole combined function is then
2×sqrt(2(2x² + x - 1) - 1) - 2
2×sqrt(4x² + 2x - 2 - 1) - 2
2×sqrt(4x² + 2x - 3) - 2
and if I am not mistaken, then this is the solution you mentioned at the beginning (if I try to read between the typos and missing info).
this is how people get to this.
do you understand it now ? or is there still something unclear ?
The answer is 7/4, 1 3/4 or 1.75
