The distance formula as given in the image can be calculated based on the Pythagorean theorem.

The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the opposite square and the adjacent square equals the hypotenuse square.

In the diagram given

\begin{gathered} Opposite=(x_2\text{-}x_1\text{)} \\ Adjacent=(y_2-y_1\text{)} \\ \text{Hypotenuse}=\text{ d} \end{gathered}

Applying the Pythagorean theorem,

\begin{gathered} \text{Hyp}^2=Opp^2+Adj^2 \\ d^2=(x_2\text{-}x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2 \\ d=\sqrt[]{(x_2\text{-}x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \end{gathered}

Therefore,

The distance formula can be calculated based on the Pythagorean theorem.

!!!!!!!! 50 POINTS !!!!!!!!What are the explicit equation and domain for a geometric sequence with a first term of 2 and a secon
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

  an = 2(−4)^(n − 1); all integers where n ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has the form ...

  an = a1(r)^(n-1) . . . . . where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The first term is given as 2, and the ratio will be the ratio of the first two terms:

  r = (-8)/(2) = -4

Terms are numbered starting with n=1, so the formula is ...

  an = 2(-4)^(n-1) for n≥1
