The distance between two points can be calculated using the following formula:
distance = sqrt [ (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]

Now, we are given the two points (5,4) and (1,-2)
Substitute with the given points in the above equation to get the distance as follows:
distance = sqrt [(1-5)^2 + (-2-4)^2]
distance = sqrt [16+36] = sqrt[52]
distance = 2√13 = 7.2111 units

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of sqrt 4x + 41 = x+5
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{4x+41}=x+5

on squaring both sides

4x+41=(x+5)^2\\\\4x+41=x^2+10x+25\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\\\\x^2+8x-2x-16=0\\\\x(x+8)-2(x+8)=0\\\\(x-2)(x+8)=0

either x-2=0  or  x+8=0

either x=2 or x=-8

Putting x=2 in original equation, we get

\sqrt{4\times 2+41}=2+5

7=7 hence, it is not an extraneous solution

Putting x=-8 in original equation

\sqrt{4\times (-8)+41}=-8+5

i.e. 3=-3

Hence, x=-8 is an extraneous solution (since it doesn't satisfy the original equation)

What is the probability that 2 randomly selected months have 31 days?
aniked [119]

Answer:

31.8%

Step-by-step explanation:There are 7 months that have 31 days so,

The odds the first selected month has 31 days is 7/12

The next month there are only 6 months left with 31 days of only 11 months to choose from

so the odds for the second are 6/11

To calculate the odds they BOTH  have 31 months you multiply the two odds:

(7/12) x (6/11) = 42/132 = .318 so 31.8%
