Answer:

distance traveled: 30 m
displacement: 21.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the distance traveled and the displacement after walking 17 m south and 13 m east.

<h3>Distance</h3>

The distance traveled is the sum of the lengths of each leg of the trip:

17 m + 13 m = 30 m

You have traveled a distance of 30 m.

<h3>Displacement</h3>

The displacement is the distance from your final position to your starting position. If you draw a diagram of the journey, you see the displacement is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 17 m and 13 m. The Pythagorean theorem can help you find this length:

h = √(a² +b²)

h = √(17² +13²) = √(289 +169) = √458 ≈ 21.401

At the end of your walking, you are 21.4 m from where you started.

Solve 4 over x minus 4 equals the quantity of x over x minus 4, minus four thirds for x and determine if the solution is extrane

Vinil7 [7]

I'm thinking this is what the problem looks like: $\frac{4}{x-4}= \frac{x}{x-4}- \frac{4}{3}$ . The first thing to do is to move the $\frac{x}{x-4}$ over to the other side because it has a common denominator with the other side. Doing that and at the same time combining them over their common denominator looks like this: $\frac{4-x}{x-4}= -\frac{4}{3}$ . The best way to solve for x now is to cross-multiply to get 3(4-x)=-4(x-4). Distributing through the parenthesis is 12 - 3x = -4x + 16. Solving for x gives us x = 4. Of course when we sub a 4 back in for x we get real problems, don't we? Dividing by zero breaks every rule in math that there ever was! So, yes, the solution is extraneous.

Is e just an algebraic expression or is it Euler's number (2.718...)?

If e is an algebraic expression then there it is
