Answer:

1650 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have to find the minimal spanning tree required to span the neighborhood.

We start from house 1. The minimum distance from house 1 to house 2 is 250 yards. Now from 2, we can go to house 3,4 or 5 all having the equal distances  of 400 yard from house 2. So we go to from house 2 to house 3. Now from 3, we go to house 5 which is at a minimum  distance of 350 yards. Now from house 5 we go to house 4 with 300 yards and then from house 4 we go to house 6 which is at 350 yards from 4.

Thus the network is complete and the total distance covered is

= 250 + 400 + 350 + 300 + 350

= 1650 yards

This is the minimum distance by which the neighborhood can be wired.

And the tree is

$1\rightarrow2\rightarrow3\rightarrow5\rightarrow4\rightarrow6$

Which of the following is the result of completing the square for x2 + 8x - 6 ?
melamori03 [73]
STEP 1- since 6 doesn't contain the variable to solve for move it to the right side of the equation by subtracting 6 from both sides
X^2-8X=-6
STEP 2- create a trinomial square on the left side of the equation find the value that is equal to the square of half of b the coefficient of x 
(b/2)^2 =(-4)^2
STEP 3- add the term to each side of the equation
x^2-8x+(-4)^2=-6=(-4) 
STEP 4- simplify the equation
x^2-8x+16=10 
STEP 5- factor the perfect trinomial square into (x-4)^2
(x-4)^2=10
STEP 6-solve the equation for x
x=4= square root of 10

Which shows all the values of x that make the rational expression undefined? x = 6 x = 7 x = –6 or x = 6 x = –7 or x = 7
n200080 [17]
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The rational expression is given by:

E=\frac{2x^2-72}{5x^2-245} \\ \\ Factor \ out: \\ \\  E=\frac{2(x^2-36)}{5(x^2-49)} \\ \\ E=\frac{2(x-6)(x+36)}{5(x-7)(x+7)} : \ \ \ \ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

The denominator can't be zero, therefore:

(x-7)(x+7)\neq 0 \\ \\ \\ Thus: \\ \\ \boxed{x\neq 7 \ and x \neq -7}

Finally,<em> the values of x that make the rational expression undefined are </em>

<em></em>

<em>x = 7 and x = -7</em>
