A coordinate grid is placed over a map and every unit represents 1 mi. The point at (3, 8) represents the location of the baseba

ll stadium and the point at (7, –2) represents the location of the post office. To the nearest tenth of a mile, what is the distance between the baseball stadium and the post office?

The distance between 2 points ( x_{1}, y_{1}) and ( x_{2}, y_{2}) on the coordinate plane is \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2-(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}
So the distance between the given points is \sqrt{(7-3)^2+(-2-8})^2}= \sqrt{4^2+(-10)^2}= \sqrt{16+100}=  \sqrt{116}=10.8
As every unit is 1 mile, so the distance should be 10.8*1=10.8miles.

Hope this helps.

Y = (1 + x) / (1 + x^2) 

y' 
= [(1 + x^2)(1) - (1 + x)(2x)] / (1 + x^2)^2 
= [1 + x^2 - 2x - 2x^2] / (1 + x^2)^2 
= [-x^2 - 2x + 1] / (1 + x^2)^2 

y'' 
= [(1 + x^2)^2 * (-2x - 2) - (-x^2 - 2x + 1)(2)(1 + x^2)(2x)] / (1 + x^2)^4 
= [(1 + x^2)(-2x - 2) - (4x)(-x^2 - 2x + 1)] / (1 + x^2)^3 
= [(-2x - 2x^3 - 2 - 2x^2) - (-4x^3 - 8x^2 + 4x)] / (1 + x^2)^3 
= [-2x - 2x^3 - 2 - 2x^2 + 4x^3 + 8x^2 - 4x] / (1 + x^2)^3 
= [2x^3 + 6x^2 - 6x - 2] / (1 + x^2)^3 

Setting y'' to zero, we have: 
y'' = 0 
[2x^3 + 6x^2 - 6x - 2] / (1 + x^2)^3 = 0 
(2x^3 + 6x^2 - 6x - 2) = 0 

Using trial and error, you will realise that x = 1 is a root. 
This means (x - 1) is a factor. 
Dividing 2x^3 + 6x^2 - 6x - 2 by x - 1 using long division, you will have 2x^2 + 8x + 2. 

2x^2 + 8x + 2 
= 2(x^2 + 4x) + 2 
= 2(x + 2)^2 - 2(2^2) + 2 
= 2(x + 2)^2 - 8 + 2 
= 2(x + 2)^2 - 6 

Setting 2x^2 + 8x + 2 to zero, we have: 
2(x + 2)^2 - 6 = 0 
2(x + 2)^2 = 6 
(x + 2)^2 = 3 
x + 2 = sqrt(3) or = -sqrt(3) 
x = -2 + sqrt(3) or x = -2 - sqrt(3) 

Note that -2 - sqrt(3) < -2 + sqrt(3) < 1 
We will choose random values belonging to each interval and test them out. 

-5 < -2 - sqrt(3) < -2 < -2 + sqrt(3) 
f''(-5) = [2(-5)^3 + 6(-5)^2 - 6(-5) - 2] / (1 + (-5)^2)^3 = -9/2197 < 0 
f''(-2) = [2(-2)^3 + 6(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 2] / (1 + (-2)^2)^3 = 18/125 > 0 
Note that one value is positive and the other is negative. 
Thus, x = -2 - sqrt(3) is an inflection point. 

-2 - sqrt(3) < -2 < -2 + sqrt(3) < 0 < 1 
f''(-2) = [2(-2)^3 + 6(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 2] / (1 + (-2)^2)^3 = 18/125 > 0 
f''(0) = [2(0)^3 + 6(0)^2 - 6(0) - 2] / (1 + (0)^2)^3 = -2 < 0 
Note that one value is positive and the other is negative. 
Thus, x = -2 + sqrt(3) is also an inflection point. 

-2 + sqrt(3) < 0 < 1 < 2 
f''(0) = [2(0)^3 + 6(0)^2 - 6(0) - 2] / (1 + (0)^2)^3 = -2 < 0 
f''(2) = [2(2)^3 + 6(2)^2 - 6(2) - 2] / (1 + (2)^2)^3 = 26/125 > 0 
Note that one value is positive and the other is negative. 
Thus, x = 1 is an inflection point. 

Hence, we have three inflection points in total. 

When x = -2 - sqrt(3), we have: 
y 
= (1 - 2 - sqrt(3)) / (1 + (-2 - sqrt(3))^2) 
= (-1 - sqrt(3)) / (1 + 4 + 4sqrt(3) + 3) 
= (-1 - sqrt(3)) / (8 + 4sqrt(3)) 

When x = -2 + sqrt(3), we have: 
y 
= (1 - 2 + sqrt(3)) / (1 + (-2 + sqrt(3))^2) 
= (-1 + sqrt(3)) / (1 + 4 - 4sqrt(3) + 3) 
= (-1 + sqrt(3)) / (8 - 4sqrt(3)) 


When x = 1, we have: 
y 
= (1 + 1) / (1 + 1^2) 
= 2 / 2 
= 1 

Using the slope formula, we have: 
(y - 1) / (x - 1) = [[(-1 + sqrt(3)) / (8 - 4sqrt(3))] - 1] / ( -2 + sqrt(3) - 1) 
(y - 1) / (x - 1) = 1/4, which is the equation of the line which the inflection points at x = 1 and x = -2 + sqrt(3) lies on. 

Note that I am skipping the intermediate steps for simplifying here, but the trick is to rationalise the denominator by multiplying a conjugate on both numerator and denominator. 

Now, we just need to check that the inflection point at x = -2 - sqrt(3) lies on the same line as well. 
L.H.S. 
= [[(-1 - sqrt(3)) / (8 + 4sqrt(3))] - 1] / (-2 - sqrt(3) - 1) 
= 1/4 
= R.H.S. 

Once again, I am skipping simplifying steps here. 

<span>Anyway, this proves all three points of inflection lies on the same straight line.</span>

Find the area of a circle with the given equation.<br> (x-7)2+(y + 9)2 =137
Korolek [52]

Answer:  137π

The usual formula for a circle centered at (a,b), with radius r,

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

The area of the circle is πr², so 137π
