Answer:

The distance between A and B is 3.6 units ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study how to find the distance between two points

- If we have point A (x1 , y1) and B (x2 , y2), then the distance

between them = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

* Now lets find A and B from the graph and calculate the

distance between them

∵ A = (-3 , 9) and B = (-1 , 6)

∵ (x2 - x1) = -1 - (-3) = -1 + 3 = 2

∵ (y2 - y1) = 6 - 9 = -3

∴ The distance between A and B = √[2² + (-3)²] = √[4 + 9] = √13

∵ √13 = 3.60555

* to approximate to the nearest tenth, we look to the

hundredth if it's ≥ 5, then we add the tenth digit by 1

if not we leave the tenth digit as it

∵ The hundredth is 0

∴ there is no change in the tenth digit

∴ The distance between A and B = 3.6 units ⇒ to the nearest tenth

* The distance between A and B is 3.6 units

10. Simplify the rational expression by rationalizing the denominator. 3 sqrt 160/sqrt 1350x A) 2 sqrt 15x/15x B) 3 sqrt 160/135

Viefleur [7K]

The simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C) $\frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$ .

First we must simplify the expression:
$\frac{3 \sqrt{160} }{\sqrt{1350x} } = \frac{12 \sqrt{10} }{15 \sqrt{6x} } = \frac{4 \sqrt{10} }{5 \sqrt{6x} }$

Then we factor the rational parts and cancel it out:
$\frac{4 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{5} }{5 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{3x} } = \frac{4\sqrt{5} }{5\sqrt{3x} }$

Then we rationalize the expression:
$\frac{4\sqrt{5} }{5\sqrt{3x} } * \frac{\sqrt{3x} }{\sqrt{3x} } = \frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{5*3x} = \frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$

<span>Finally, the simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C) $\frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$ .</span>

Explain how you know the quotients 540÷90 and 5,400 ÷ 900 are equal without doing any computation..

Lelechka [254]

The quotients are equal because they both go in the same number of times. The second pair of quotients just have an extra 0 at the end which just changes the place value of the number.

Solve equation 3k+45=8k+25

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

k=4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can subtract 3k on both sides. It is ultimately easier to start by subtracting the term with a variable. This would result in 45=5k+25. Then, we can subtract 25 on both sides to get closer to isolating k. This becomes 20=5k. We can then divide by 5 on both sides. This means that k=4.
