Answer:

Square

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the vertices of the quadrilateral PQRS on the coordinate plane (see attached diagram). The diagram shows that this is a square. Let's prove it.

1. Find all sides lengths:

PQ=\sqrt{(-3-0)^2+(0-4)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5\\ \\QR=\sqrt{(0-4)^2+(4-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(3)^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5\\ \\RS=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(1-(-3))^2}=\sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5\\ \\SP=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(-3-0)^2}=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5

All sides have the same lengths.

2. Find the slopes of all lines:

PQ:\ \dfrac{4-0}{0-(-3)}=\dfrac{4}{3}\\ \\QR:\ \dfrac{1-4}{4-0}=-\dfrac{3}{4}\\ \\RS:\ \dfrac{-3-1}{1-4}=\dfrac{4}{3}\\ \\SP:\ \dfrac{0-(-3)}{-3-1}=-\dfrac{3}{4}

Since the slopes of PQ and RS are the same, lines PQ and RS are parallel. Since the slopes of QR and SP are the same, lines QR and SP are parallel.

The slopes \frac{4}{3} and -\frac{3}{4} have the product of

-\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot \dfrac{4}{3}=-1,

then lines are pairwise perpendicular.

This means PQRS is a square.

How many points need to be removed from this graph so it will be a function?​
finlep [7]

Answer:

3 points

Step-by-step explanation:

in a function, an x-value must have only one y-value correlated with it.

So, you would need to remove either (-3, 2) or (-3, 3)

And, you would need to remove either (2, -2) or (2, -4)

<em>And, </em>you would need to remove either (1, 4) or (1, -4)

So--you need to remove 3 points in total for this to be a function.

[a y-value can have multiple x-values. the two points at -4 are allowed, and do not need to be removed for both of them to be there]

This is how the whole equation goes:
1/x^-a = x^a
So, 1/5^-2 is the same as 5^2, which is 25.

Joe is 3 times as old as Pepe In how many years will Joe be only twice as old as Pepe ? How old are they now? How old will they
antoniya [11.8K]
Let x = Wally's age now

Then, 3x = Jose's age now

Wally's age 5 years from now = x+5

Jose's age 5 years from now = 3x+5

(x+5) + (3x+5) = 42

4x + 10 = 42

4x = 32 x = 8

Wally is 8 years old and Jose is 24.
