Answer:

C. 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule postulate says that "the distance between two points is the absolute value of the difference of the corresponding numbers."

Let the two points be given:

P = 7

Q = 24

And let D be the distance between the two points.

So,

D = │P-Q│ = │7-24│ =│-17│ = 17

So, the correct answer is C. 17

Hope this helps!

meriva

They were without electricity for 47 minutes.....determine the percent of an hr....so 1 hr = 60 minutes.....so they were out 47 out of 60 minutes...
47/60 = 0.783 = 78.3%.....so just type in 78.3 because ur not supposed to include the percent sign

Montega and Luisa are rewritting the scale 1 inch=2 feet in a:b form. who is right?

vitfil [10]

The correct representation of the scale is 1 inch:2 feet

<h3>What are scale ratios?</h3>

Scale ratios are used to show the relationship between quantities of different measurements

The scale is given as:

1 inch = 2 feet

Represent the above scale, as ratio

$Ratio = 1\ inch:2\ feet$

Hence, the correct representation of the scale is 1 inch:2 feet

Monica and Michael both want to buy a scooter. Monica has already saved $25 and plans to save $5 per week. Michael has $16 and p

Anna71 [15]

3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of weeks, we have to equate the amount already saved and planned to save by both each week.

So we can write the expression as,

Let w be the number of weeks.

25 + 5w =16 + 8w

Grouping the terms as,

25 - 16 = 8w - 5w

9 = 3w

Dividing both sides by 3, we will get,

3w/3 = 9/3

w = 3

So number of weeks = 3

Move the slider on the graph on the right to graph each function:

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The domain is $x\geq 7$

The range is $y\geq 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=\sqrt{x-7} +1$

<em>Find the domain</em>

Remember that

The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of x

we know that the radicand of the function must be greater than or equal to zero

$x-7\geq 0$

solve for x

$x\geq 7$

therefore

The domain is $x\geq 7$

<em>Find the range</em>

Remember that

The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of y, after we have substituted the domain.

For x=7

The value of y is equal to

$y=\sqrt{7-7} +1=1$

The solution for y is the interval [1,∞)

therefore

The range is $y\geq 1$
