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)

Having a savings account can contribute to a person’s overall financial well-being. Which one of the following is NOT a benefit
DiKsa [7]
C) Having a savings account gives individuals the ability to borrow money from members in the community 

A savings account definitely can help you with A and B. While D may sound a bit dramatic, a responsible savings routine and a savings account with a healthy balance can make great things happen. However, a savings account does not give you the ability to borrow money from members in the community. This is not a feature of a savings account.

Answer:

Now, derive it from the calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Net income = 100% = N120,000

therefore

1. Food

40%/100% = 2/5 of N120,000

= N48,000

2.Housing

30%/100% = 3/10 of N120,000

= N36,000

3. Savings

20%/100% = 2/10 (or 1/5) of N120,000

= N24,000

4. Miscellaneous

10%/100% = 1/10 of N120,000

= N 12,000

Find the cost of this trip: Find the airfare for flying round trip from Denver to Detroit if a one-way ticket is $235.00, there
Rzqust [24]

5% of 235 is: 235*(5/100)= 235/20 = 11,75 or 5% of 470 is: 470/20 = 23,5

Total cost = 2*(235 + 11,75) = 2*246,75 = 493,5 or Total cost = 470 + 23,5 = 493,5

What is the width of a box when the length is x+2, the height is x+8, and the volume is x^3+9x^2+6x-16?
Nostrana [21]

(x+2)(x+8) = x^2 +10x +16

(x^2 + 10x + 16)(x-1) = x^3+9x^2+6x-16, so the other dimension is x-1
