The equation for the segment AB is;
[tex]2x^2-x-42[/tex]The equation for the segment BC is ;
[tex]x^2+11x+21[/tex]If segment AC has midpoint at B , this means ;
AC = AB + BC
To get AC we add the equation for AB and BC
Performing addition as;
[tex]2x^2-x-42+x^2+11x+21[/tex]Collect like terms as;
[tex]2x^2+x^2+11x-x-42+21=AC[/tex][tex]3x^2+10x-21=AC[/tex]Answer
[tex]AC=3x^2+10x-21[/tex]
