Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:The distance between points is given by the following equation:

d = root ((x2-x1) ^ 2 + (y2-y1) ^ 2)

Substituting we have:

15 = root ((- 9 -3) ^ 2 + (a-2) ^ 2)

We clear the value of a:

(15) ^ 2 = (root ((- 12) ^ 2 + (a-2) ^ 2)) ^ 2

225 = (- 12) ^ 2 + (a-2) ^ 2)

Rewriting:

225 = 144 + (a-2) ^ 2

225-144 = (a-2) ^ 2

81 = (a-2) ^ 2

a-2 = +/- root (81)

a = +/- 9 + 2

The possible values are:

a1 = 9 + 2 = 11

a2 = -9 + 2 = -7

Then, the possible coordinates of point a are:

(-11, 11)

(-11, -7)

Answer:

the possible coordinates of point a are:

(-11, 11)

(-11, -7)

Answer:

(-9,9) or (-9,-7) are the possible coordinates

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula for the distance between two points to get this

Mathematically, this can be;

d = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

Now let our point A be (x1,y1) = (-9,n)

let’s say y1 is n for now

For point B, we have (x2,y2) = (3,2)

and our d is 15 units

Inputing the values, we have

15^2 = (3+9)^2 + (2-n)^2

225 = 144 + (2-n)^2

225-144 = (2-n)^2

(2-n)^2 = 81

(2-n) = √(81)

2-n = -9

or 2-n = 9

n = 11 or n = -7

Now the possible coordinate values of point A are;

(-9,9) or (-9,-7)

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.

Jason puts $30 worth of gas in his truck. The price per gallon was $2.50. Which equation can be solved to find the number of gal

tankabanditka [31]

So, this is a rate problem, so the forumla we would get is

2.5g=30

(Note this is not one of the choices), so if we look, there is an equivelent equation.

If we divide both sides by g we get

2.5=30/g

B is the correct answer

A boat sails on a bearing of 77 degrees for 135 miles and then turns and sails 207 miles on a bearing of 192 degrees. Find the d

Andrew [12]

Answer:

193.53 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,

Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees

The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees

Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.

We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.

In the diagram, this is the line AC.

Applying Law of Cosines:

$b^2=a^2+c^2-2acCosB\\b^2=207^2+135^2-2(207)(135)Cos65^\circ\\b^2=37453.8654\\b=\sqrt{37453.8654} \\b=193.53\: miles$

The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).

et f(x) = x + |2x − 3|. Find all solutions to the equation f(x) = 12. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answe

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

1. {5,-9}

2.{4}

3.{9/2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $f(x)=x+\lvert 2x-3 \rvert=12$ can be solved as follows:

$x+\lvert 2x-3 \rvert =12\,\,\,\text{(given equation)}$

$\lvert 2x-3 \rvert =12-x$

$2x-3=12-x\,\,\text{or}\,\,2x-3=-(12-x)$

$3x=15\,\,\text{or}\,\,\x=-9$

Then, the solutions of the equation are $x=5, x=-9$ .

Now, if $g(x)=5x-3+\lvert x+4\rvert$ , we can solve the equation $g(a)=4a+9$ as follows:

$5a-3+\lvert a+4 \rvert =4a+9$

$\lvert a+4\rvert =4a+9-5a+3$

$a+4 =-a+12\,\,\text{or}\,\,a+4=-(-a+12)$

$2a=8\,\,\text{or}\,\,4=12$

So, the unique solution of this last equation is $a=4$

The last equation is $h(x-1)=x-3$ , where $h(x)=\lvert x \rvert -2x+5.$ . To solve this equation we can proceed as follows:

$h(x-1)=x-3$

$\lvert x-1\rvert -2(x-1)+5=x-3$

$\lvert x-1 \rvert -2x+2+5=x-3$

$\lvert x-1\rvert =3x-10$

$x-1=3x-10\,\,\text{or}\,\,x-1=-(3x-10)$

$-2x=-9\,\,\text{or}\,\,4x=11$

$x=9/2\,\,\text{or}\,\,x=11/4$

But, x=11/4 is not a solution of this equation. So the unique solution is x=9/2.
