Two horses are ready to return to their barn after a long workout session at the track. the horses are at coordinates H(1,10) an

d Z(10,1). Their barns are located in the same building, which is at coordinates B(-3,-9). Each unit/grid on the coordinate plane represents 100 meters. Which horse is closer to the barn? Justify your answer?

The given information are the coordinates of points H, Z and B. So, the first step to do is to plot these points on a Cartesian plane as shown in the attached picture. We can deduce visually that horse Z is closer to the barns than horse H. But, to further justify the answer, we have to provide the magnitude of the distance of horses H and Z to barn B. In this approach, we use the distance formula:

d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

Use the coordinates of the two points to know their linear distances. These are represented by the red and green lines for each of the horses.

Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B  = 19.4165

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse H and barn B is 19.416*100 = 1,941.65 meters


Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B  = 16.4012

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse Z and barn B is 16.4012*100 = 1,640.12 meters

Comparing the distances: 1,941.65 meters > 1,640.12 meters. Therefore, it justifies that horse Z is nearer to the barn.

What is the gcf of 30x^2 and 66x^5?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

6x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Express as product of prime factors.

30x^2=2\times 3\times 5\times x^2

66x^5=2\times 3\times 11\times x^5

The greatest common factor is the product of the least powers of the common factors.

The GCF is

2\times 3\times x^2=6x^2

I round to 900 I have twice as many hundreds as ones and all my digits are different but their sums are 18 can someone answer th
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The number of once is 9.1  

The number of hundreds is 8.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total of digits having ones and hundreds = 900

The sum of digits = 18

Let The number of ones digit = O

And The number of hundreds digit = H

So, According to question

H + O = 18             .........1

100 × H + 1 × O = 900          ........2

Solving the equation

( 100 × H - H ) + ( O - O ) = 900 - 18

Or, 99 H + 0 = 882

Or , 99 H = 882

∴   H = \frac{882}{99}

I.e H = 8.9

Put the value of H in eq 1

So, O = 18 - H

I.e  O = 18 - 8.9

∴    O = 9.1

So, number of once = 9.1

number of hundreds = 8.9

Hence The number of once is 9.1  and The number of hundreds is 8.9
