Two numbers are 10 units away in different directions from their midpoint, m, on a number line. The product of the numbers is –99.

Which equation can be used to find m, the midpoint of the two numbers?

(m – 5)(m + 5) = 99
(m – 10)(m + 10) = 99
m2 – 25 = –99
m2 – 100 = –99

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]m {}^{2} - 100 = - 99[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the binomial.

[tex](m - 10)[/tex]

[tex](m + 10)[/tex]

Multiply the binomial.

[tex](m - 10)(m + 10) = - 99[/tex]

Apply difference of squares rule

[tex](p + q)(p - q) = p {}^{2} - q {}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]m {}^{2} - 100 = - 99[/tex]

Answer: m^2-100=-99

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the binomial.

(m-10)

(m+10)

Multiply the binomial.

(m-10)(m+10)=-99

Apply difference of squares rule

(p+q)(p-q) = p2-q2

Answer: m^2-100=-99
