Answer:

k = -3 or 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The line extends from points (-1, 1) to point (2, k)

The length of the line = 5 units

The formula for the length, l, of a line given its coordinates can be  found by the following formula;

l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

Therefore, we have;

5 = \sqrt{\left (k-1 \right )^{2}+\left (2-(-1)  \right )^{2}}

Which, by squaring both sides, gives;

25 = (k - 1)² + (2 - (-1))² = (k - 1)² + (2 + 1)² = (k - 1)² + 3²

25 = (k - 1)² + 3² = k² - 2·k + 1 + 9

25 - 25 = 0 = k² - 2·k + 1 + 9 - 25 = k² - 2·k - 15

0 = k² - 2·k - 15

0 = (k +3) × (k - 5)

Therefore, k = -3 or 5

When k - -3, we have;

\sqrt{\left ((-3)-1 \right )^{2}+\left (2-(-1)  \right )^{2}}= \sqrt{(-4)^2+3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9}  = \sqrt{25} = 5

When k = 5, we have;

\sqrt{\left (5-1 \right )^{2}+\left (2-(-1)  \right )^{2}}= \sqrt{4^2+3^2} = 5

Answer:

1.012 \times {10}^{ - 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. the number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. if the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. if the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

The average rate of change obtained from the ratio of change in y to the change in x is 27

The average rate of change can be obtained using the relation :

Rate of change = (y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1)

at; x1 = -3

y1 can be calculated from the function ;

y1= 3(-3³)-1

y1=-82

At ; x2 = 3

y2 can be calculated from the function ;

y2 = 3(3³)-1

y2=80

The rate of change can be calculated thus : (y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1)

[80-(-82)]/[3-(-6])

162/6

27

ella [17]
For the answer to the question above, 

<span>the angle of 360 ° → π.d </span>

<span>the angle of x ° → 8π </span>


<span>You make the cross-multiply and you can get: </span>

<span>x * π.d = 8π * 360 </span>

<span>x * d = 8 * 360 </span>

<span>x = 8 * 360/d → where d = 2r </span>

<span>x = 8 * 360/2r </span>

<span>x = 4 * 360/r → where r = 4.5 cm </span>

<span>x = 4 * 360/4.5 </span>

Which is bigger 0.17 or 0.165 meters
zavuch27 [327]
Your numbers are .17 and .165 meters

Let me explain each digit value:

Lets start with .17

Decimals are like whole numbers where each placement has a digit value

.1 is the tenths place

.07 is the hundredths place

Lets turn to .165

.1 is the tenths place

.06 is the hundredths place

.005 is the thousandths place

When seeing which decimal is larger, go along the tenths place and move along.


So as you can see
, .17 and .165 start with .1 so you can't see which is bigger by this. Now move on to the next digit. Which is larger? .17 or .16? As you should know, 7 is bigger than 6 so that means .17 is larger

Answer: .17 meters is larger than .165 meters
