Answer:
Midpoint (-2,4)
distance nearest tenth = 8.9
The approximate distance = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulas
PQ midpoint = (x2 + x1)/2, (y2 + y1)/2
distance d = sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )
Givens
x2 = -4
x1 = 0
y2 = 1
y1 = 7
Solution
M(PQ) = (-4+0)/2, (1 + 7)/2
M(PQ) = -2, 4
The midpoint is -2,4
The distance = sqrt( (4 - 0)^2 + (1 + 7)^2 )
The distance = sqrt(16 + 64)
The distance = sqrt(80)
The distance = 4√5 exactly
The distance = 8.94
The distance = 8.9 To the nearest tenth
Question 2
The distance is rounded to the nearest whole number which is 9.
Answer:
18/18 =1
therefore 1/18th part of 18 is 1
I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.
We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:
3x+20=x^2+2x
Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you
x+20=x^2
Now, we take the square root of both sides to get
rad(x+20)=x
Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes
2rad(x+5)
This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
Absolute value means ignore negative signs, so #38 is asking is 282 greater or less than 279. it's greater. #39 is negative of |-10| the absolute value signs work as parentheses too, so it's -(10) so -10
