The distance between two points A(2, -1) and B(-4, 2) is 3 \sqrt{5} units

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that two points are A(2, -1) and B(-4, 2)

<em><u>To find: distance between two points</u></em>

The distance between two points A(x_1, y_1) and B(x_2, y_2) is given as:

Distance(A, B) = d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+ (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Here in this problem,

x_1 = 2 ; y_1 = -1 ; x_2 = -4 ; y_2 = 2

Substituting the values in given formula, we get

d = \sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(2-(-1))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-6)^2 + (3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{36 + 9}\\\\d = \sqrt{45}

On simplification we get,

d = \sqrt{45} = \sqrt{3 \times 3 \times 5}\\\\d = 3\sqrt{5}

Thus the distance between two points A(2, -1) and B(-4, 2) is 3 \sqrt{5} units

seven out of every 8 students surveyed owns a bike. The difference between the number of students who own a bike and those who d
guajiro [1.7K]
So if x people were surveyed, \frac{7}{8} people owned a bike and \frac{1}{8}  did not.

The difference between them is 72:
\frac{7}{8} x-\frac{1}{8} [/tex] =72
so this means that
\frac{6}{8} x=72

let's simplify:

\frac{3}{4} x=72

and divide by 3:

\frac{1}{4} x=24

and mupliply by 4:

x=96

so 96 people were surveyed

What is this plz help
Aliun [14]

Answer:

x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(4 + 2x) ≥ 5x + 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

8 + 4x ≥ 5x + 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

8 ≥ x + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3 ≥ x , then

x ≤ 3
