<h2>Answer:</h2>

A.

Let Annie's weight be = a

Let Benjie's weighs = b

Let Carmen's weight be = c

One day Annie weighed 24 ounces more than Benjie, equation forms:

a=b+24        ......(1)

Benjie weighed 3 1/4 pounds less than Carmen.  

In ounces:

1 pound = 16 ounces

\frac{13}{4} pounds = \frac{13}{4}\times16=52 ounces

b=c-52  or

c=b+52    ......(2)

Now adding (1) and (2), we get

a+b=b+24+c-52

=> a=c-28

This gives  Annie weighs 28 ounces less than Carmen.

B.

We cannot know anyone's actual weight, as we only know their relative weights.

Given:

Line a passes through (2, 10) and (4, 13).

Line b passes through (4, 9) and (6, 12).

Line c passes through (2, 10) and (4, 9).

To find:

Which of the lines, if any are perpendicular.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the slope of line is

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Line a passes through (2, 10) and (4, 13).  So, slope of this line is

m_a=\dfrac{13-10}{4-2}=\dfrac{3}{2}

Line b passes through (4, 9) and (6, 12).  So, slope of this line is

m_b=\dfrac{12-9}{6-4}=\dfrac{3}{2}

Line c passes through (2, 10) and (4,9).  So, slope of this line is

m_c=\dfrac{9-10}{4-2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}

Product of slopes of to perpendicular lines is -1.

m_a\cdot m_b=\dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{9}{4}\neq -1

m_b\cdot m_c=\dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{-1}{2}=\dfrac{-3}{4}\neq -1

m_a\cdot m_c=\dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{-1}{2}=\dfrac{-3}{4}\neq -1

Therefore, any of these lines are not perpendicular to each other.

How old is the expanded notation method work
Akimi4 [234]
Well, 
For example 

2.34 * 10^6 will be....
2,340,000
It is because if you have the positive powers, you move your decimal to the right. In this case the power is 6 so you move your decimal to the right 6 times. 
Here's another example

1.23 X 10^-2 
The answer will be 0.0123 because you move your decimal two the left two times. The power is negative 2 so you move it to the left.

Final tips: If you have positive power, move it to the right and if you have negative power, move it to the left.

The first step in the process for factoring the trinomial x^2-3x-40 is to
jenyasd209 [6]

(x-8)(x+5)

First thing you do is put the X's into the parentheticals because it is x^2 meaning there are 2 factors with x's. Then, you wonder what factors of -40 could add to get -3. In this case, they are -8 and 5. -8 times 5 is -40 and -8 +5 is -3. Then, you just add -8 and 5 beside the x's in the parentheticals.

You can use the distance formula: d = sqrt((second x value - first x value)^2 + (second y value - first y value)^2):
answer : d = sqrt((3+2)^2+(6+6)^2) = 11.95826074 units
