Answer:

$5x-2x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call that number $x$ .

when we are asked for a difference we must substract quantities.

In this case we need the difference between five times a number (the number is represented by $x$ ) and twice that number:

five times the number x is equal to

$x+x+x+x+x=5x$

twice that number x is equal to:

$x+x=2x$

thus, the difference is: $5x-2x$

What is the euclidean distance between x(3,2,5) and y(2,3,3) in three dimensional space?

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

b) 2.45

Step-by-step explanation:

The Euclidean distance in 3-space is the root of the sum of the squares of the x-, y-, and z-differences between the points.

<h3>Application</h3>

For the given points ...

$x(3,2,5)=(x_1,y_1,z_1)\quad\textsf{and}\quad y(2,3,3)=(x_2,y_2,z_2)$

The distance between x and y is ...

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2=y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(2-3)^2+(3-2)^2+(3-5)^2}=\sqrt{1+1+4}\\\\d=\sqrt{6}\approx2.45$

The graph below shows the cost C for bowling g games at Strike King. Another bowling center, Thunder Alley, charges $2.25 per ga

Lunna [17]

Answer:

They intersect when the Strike king is at (9,15.75) and Thunder Alley is at (7, 15.75). But only the X axes intersect. The X and Y axes intersect at (0,0) that's where they start and that is where they meet. Its a proportional relationship because their ratios are equivalent. It represents the constant of proportionality.
