Coolio

alright, so the disatnce formula is
D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

solve for y in the equation given on top
2x+y-10=0
y=10-2x
ok
so (x1,y1)=(0,0), the first point
(x2,y2)=(x,10-2x)
so subsitute to get

D=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(10-2x-0)^2}
D=\sqrt{(x)^2+(10-2x)^2}
D=\sqrt{x^2+4x^2-40x+100}
D=\sqrt{5x^2-40x+100}
find the miniumum
we only need to minimize what is under the square root so
take the derivitive of 5x²-40x+100
that is 10x-40
it is 0 at x=4
when x<4, the derivitive is negative
when x>4, the derivitive is positve
goes from negative to positive
so it is a minimum

at x=4
find y
y=10-2x
y=10-2(4)
y=10-8
y=2

(4,2)
find min distance

D=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2}
D=\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(2-0)^2}
D=\sqrt{(4)^2+(2)^2}
D=\sqrt{16+4}
D=\sqrt{20}
D=2\sqrt{5}



the point, P, is (4,2) and the minimum distance is 2√5

Lena found a 5/8
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats

Step-by-step explanation:

* The diamond ring weighed 5/8 carats

- To know who is right lets change the fraction 5/8 to a decimal number

∵ 5/8 means 5 ÷ 8

- 5 is smaller than 8 so we will multiply it by 10 and

 insert decimal point in the quotient (answer of division)

∴ It will be 50 ÷ 8 = 6 and remainder 2/8 ⇒ 1/4

∴ The quotient = 0.6 and remainder 1/4

- 1 is smaller than 4 so we will multiply it by 10

∴ It will be 10 ÷ 4 = 2 and remainder 2/4 ⇒ 1/2

∴ The quotient = 0.62 and remainder 1/2

- 1 is smaller than 2 so we will multiply it by 10

∴ It will be 10 ÷ 2 = 5 without remainder

∴ The quotient = 0.625

* Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats

Please help me out!!!!
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+1) = 4x+4

Distribute

4x+4 = 4x+4

Subtract 4x from each side

4x+4-4x = 4x+4-4x

4=4

This is always true so there are infinite solutions

Walter invests $100,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 12%. How long will it take for his money to
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

3 = e^{0.12 t}

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

ln(3) = 0.12 t

And then the value of t would be:

t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case since we know that the interest is compounded continuously, then we can use the following formula:

A =P e^{rt}

Where A is the future value, P the present value , r the rate of interest in fraction and t the number of years.

For this case we know that P = 100000 and r =0.12 we want to triplicate this amount and that means A= 300000 and we want to find the value for t.

300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

3 = e^{0.12 t}

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

ln(3) = 0.12 t

And then the value of t would be:

t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.
