Two horses are ready to return to their barn after a long workout session at the track. the horses are at coordinates H(1,10) an

d Z(10,1). Their barns are located in the same building, which is at coordinates B(-3,-9). Each unit/grid on the coordinate plane represents 100 meters. Which horse is closer to the barn? Justify your answer?

The given information are the coordinates of points H, Z and B. So, the first step to do is to plot these points on a Cartesian plane as shown in the attached picture. We can deduce visually that horse Z is closer to the barns than horse H. But, to further justify the answer, we have to provide the magnitude of the distance of horses H and Z to barn B. In this approach, we use the distance formula:

d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

Use the coordinates of the two points to know their linear distances. These are represented by the red and green lines for each of the horses.

Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B  = 19.4165

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse H and barn B is 19.416*100 = 1,941.65 meters


Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B  = 16.4012

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse Z and barn B is 16.4012*100 = 1,640.12 meters

Comparing the distances: 1,941.65 meters > 1,640.12 meters. Therefore, it justifies that horse Z is nearer to the barn.

Select the lesser of The two given numbers -152, 12
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

-152

Step-by-step explanation:

-152 < 12

-152 is negative, which means it is less than 1.

12 is positive, which means it is greater than 1.

Therefore, -152 is the lesser of the two given numbers.

Have a great rest of your day! :)

The following graph describes function 1, and the equation below it describes function 2. Determine which function has a greater
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Function 1 has the larger maximum at (4, 1)

Explanation:

After observation, graph of function 1 has vertex at Maximum (4, 1)

In order to find vertex of function 2, complete square the equation.

f(x) = -x² + 2x - 3

f(x) = -(x² - 2x) - 3

f(x) = -(x - 1)² - 3 + (-1)²

f(x) = -(x - 1)² - 2

Vertex form: y = a(x - h)² + k where (h, k) is the vertex

So, here for function 2 vertex: Maximum (1, -2)

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

Function 1 = Maximum (4, 1), Function 2 = Maximum (1, -2)

Function 1 has greater maximum value of (4, 1) as "1 is greater than -2"
