Find the distance between the points. (r, s) and (0, 0)

Answer:  \sqrt{r^2+s^2

=====================================================

Reason:

Plot the points (0,0) and (r,s). You can place (r,s) anywhere you want.

Connect the two points mentioned and form a right triangle such that the segment from (0,0) to (r,s) is the hypotenuse of said right triangle.

The horizontal leg has a length of r-0 = r units, while the vertical leg will be 's' units.

Check out the diagram below.

We then apply the pythagorean theorem to say r^2+s^2 = h^2 where h is the hypotenuse. Solving for h gets us h = \sqrt{r^2+s^2}. We only focus on the positive square root since a negative hypotenuse makes no sense.

Since we made the hypotenuse the segment with endpoints (r,s) and (0,0), this means the hypotenuse length and the distance are the same thing.

Therefore, the distance from (r,s) to (0,0) is \sqrt{r^2+s^2}

As an alternative, you can use the distance formula to get the same answer. The distance formula is effectively the pythagorean theorem phrased a different way.

Answer:

It is an identity, the proof is in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

csc(A)-cot(A)=tan(A/2)

I'm going to start with right hand side

tan(A/2)=(1-cos(a))/(sin(a))                half angle identity

tan(A/2)=1/sin(a)-cos(a)/sin(a)         separate fraction

tan(A/2)=csc(a)-cot(a)                     reciprocal and quotient identities

A hot air balloon descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes. Use integers to calculate and
Amanda [17]
Given:
descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes.

320 feet per minute * 3 minutes = 960 feet

Total change in altitude is 960 feet. Since it is descending, I believe it would be a negative 960 feet.

One way is to type it into your trusty TI and use the table from presing stat and then stat againg then calc then 4
so the equation that I got from your set of points is y=1.983333333333333x+0.80555555555
