Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 12.0 m east, then turns and goes 5.00 m west, then turns and goes back 2.00 m east.

(a) Distance is equal to total path covered during the entire journey.

Distance = 12 + 5 +2

Distance = 19 m

(b) The shortest path covered is equal to the shortest path traveled. Let east is positive and west is negative. So,

Displacement = 12 +(-5) +2

Displacement = 9 m

Question 2 please fas

Len [333]

Answer:

a = 3, b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that both the polynomials are equal.

Therefore, h(x) = k(x)

${x}^{3} + (a + b) {x}^{2} - 4x + 2 \\ = {x}^{3} + 5 {x}^{2} - (2a - b)x + 2 \\ \\ equating \: like \: terms \: on \: both \: sides \\ (a + b) {x}^{2} = 5 {x}^{2} \\ \implies \: a + b = 5.....(1) \\ \\ - (2a - b)x = - 4x \\ 2a - b = 4....(2) \\ \\ adding \: equations \: (1) \: and \: (2) \\ \\ 3a = 9 \\ \implies \: a = \frac{9}{3} \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\implies \: a = 3}} \\ \\ substituting \: a = 3 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ 3 + b = 5 \\ \implies \: b = 5 - 3 \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{ \implies b = 2}}$

kiruha [24]

C + a = 138.....c = 138 - a
5.10c + 8.70a = 995.40

5.10(138 - a) + 8.70a = 995.40
703.80 - 5.10a + 8.70a = 995.40
-5.10a + 8.70a = 995.40 - 703.80
3.60a = 291.60
a = 291.60/3.60
a = 81 <===
