The values of y are 1 and 3

What is distance formula -

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

x1 and y1 are x and y coordinates of a point.

similarly x2 and y2 are x and y coordinates of another point.

Explanation with steps -

As point P is equidistant from Q and R, the distances PQ and PR should be the same.

So, calculate distance PQ can be calculated from the above formula

The distance PQ is \sqrt{50}

now use this distance to calculate the unkown 'y'

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(-10-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{49+(y-2)^2}

Squaring both sides

50 = 49 + (y-2)^{2}

y^{2}-4y+3=0

On factorizing,

(y-1)(y-3)=0

Thus we get values of y to be 1 or 3

Find the indicated side of the triangle !!!
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is b = 6 √3 units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that we can use the following ratio for the sides of a 90 - 60 - 30 triangle:

1 : √3 : 2, where 2 is the hypotenuse.

Upon saying that, we have that in our triangle:

Hypotenuse = 12 units

a = 6 units

b = 6 √3 units

<u>The correct answer is b = 6 √3 units</u>

If f(x)=4x-1 and g(x)=x^2+7 ,find G(f(x))
frutty [35]

Answer:

g(f(x))=(4x-1)^2+7=16\,x^2-8x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x)=4x-1\\and \\g(x)=x^2+7

Then the composition of functions:

g(f(x))=g(4x-1)=(4x-1)^2+7= (16\,x^2-8x+1)+7=16\,x^2-8x+8

where we have written the final functional expression in its standard form.
