Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be calculated with the formula

$\boxed{\textcolor{steelblue}{\text{Distance between 2 points}= \sqrt{(y_1 - y_2)^{2} + (x_1 - x_2)^{2} } }}$

However, since (0, 2) and (0, 8) have the same x coordinate of 0, the distance between them is the difference in their y-coordinates.

Distance between (0, 2) and (0, 8)

= 8 -2

= 6 units

Daniel and Sofia both solve this system of equations: y = -1.5x + 5.7 y = 0.5x + 0.3 Daniel's solution is (1.1, 2.4). Sofia's so

scoundrel [369]

Y = -1.5x + 5.7
y = 0.5x + 0.3

-1.5x + 5.7 = 0.5x + 0.3
-1.5x - 0.5x = 0.3 - 5.7
-2x = - 5.4
x = -5.4/-2
x = 2.7

y = 0.5x + 0.3
y = 0.5(2.7) + 0.3
y = 1.35 + 0.3
y = 1.65

solution is (2.7, 1.65)

Sophia is more likely to be correct because the x coordinate is between 2 and 3 and the y coordinate is in between 1 and 2

Find a polynomial equation that has zeros at x = −2, x = 0, x = 3 and x = 5

VashaNatasha [74]

If a polynomial "contains", in a multiplicative sense, a factor $(x-x_0)$ , then the polynomial has a zero at $x=x_0$ .

So, you polynomial must contain at least the following:

$(x-(-2)),\quad (x-0),\quad (x-3),\quad (x-5)$

If you multiply them all, you get

$x(x+2)(x-3)(x-5)=x^4 - 6 x^3 - x^2 + 30 x$

Now, if you want the polynomial to be zero only and exactly at the four points you've given, you can choose every polynomial that is a multiple (numerically speaking) of this one. For example, you can multiply it by 2, 3, or -14.

If you want the polynomial to be zero at least at the four points you've given, you can multiply the given polynomial by every other function.
