Answer: 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between any two points $x_1$ and $x_2$ on a number line is given by :-

$d=|x_2-x_1|$

From the given picture, there is a number line where point S is at -2 and point T is at 14.

Then, the distance between points S and T will be :_

$d=|14-(-2)|\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=|14+2|=|16|=16\text{ units}$

Hence, the distance between points S and T = 16 units

Without solving the equation, determine the nature of the roots of x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0.

noname [10]

Answer:

two real, unequal roots

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic equation. The quadratic formula can be used to determine how many and what kind of roots may exist:

Find the discriminant, which is defined as b^2 - 4ac, if ax^2 + bx + c = 0. In this case, a = 1, b = -2 and c = -8, so that the discriminant value is

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-8), or 4 + 32 = 36.

Because the discriminant is real and positive, we know for certain that we have two real, unequal roots

Ten times the sum of half a number and 6 is 8

nexus9112 [7]

Let the required number is 2x ,

According to the condition,

➡ 10 times the sum of half of 2x and 6 = 8

$= > 10 \times ( \frac{2x}{2} + 6) = 8 \\ \\ \\ = > 10 \times (x + 6) = 8 \\ \\ \\ = > 10x + 60 = 8 \\ \\ \\ = > 10x = 8 - 60 \\ \\ \\ = > 10x = - 52 \\ \\ \\ = > x = - \frac{ 52}{10} \\ \\ \\ = > x = - 5.2$

Therefore the value of x is -5.2

And, required number is -5.2
