Remark

It is not a straight line distance from the park to the mall. None of the answers give you that result. And if you know what displacement is, none of the answers are really displacement either. The distance is sort of a "as the crow flies." distance. There's a stop off in the middle of town.

Method

You need to use the Pythagorean Formula twice -- once from the park to the city Center and once from the city center to the mall.

Distance from the Park to the city center.

a = 3   [distance east]

b = 4  [distance south]

c = ??

c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2        Take the square root of both sides.

c = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2)

c = sqrt(9 + 16)          Add

c = sqrt(25)

c = 5

So the distance from the park to the city center is 5 miles

Distance from City center to the mall

a = 2 miles [distance east]

b = 2 miles [distance north]

c = ??

c^2 = a^2 + b^2   Substitute

c^2 = 2^2 + 2^2   Expand this.

c^2 = 4 + 4

c^2 = 8             Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(8)

c = sqrt(8)          This is the result

c = 2.8

Answer

Total distance = 5 + 2.8 = 7.8

Write an equation perpendicular to x-4y=20 that passes through the point 2,-5
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

  4x +y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocals of one another. When the equation of the line is written in standard form like this, the equation of the perpendicular line can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Doing this much would give you ...

  4x +y = (constant)

Note that we have chosen to make the equation read 4x+y, not -4x-y. The reason is that "standard form" requires the leading coefficient to be positive.

Now, you just need to make sure the constant is appropriate for the point you want the line to go through. So, it needs to be ...

  4(2) +(-5) = constant = 3

The line of interest has equation ...

  4x + y = 3

If a point has a negative x-coordinate, and its y-coordinate is positive, where does the point lie relative to the origin? Expla
Daniel [21]
      If a coordinate has a negative x-coordinate and its y-coordinate is positive, then the point  is on the 2nd quadrant.
      That means that the point is left of the origin and above it.

A right triangle has one 64degree angle and one 90 degree angle
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

I dont know what your asking, for the other angle? Ig so. Answer: THE OTHER ANGLE IS 26. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

64 + 90 = 154.

All triangles add up to 180 degrees.

180-154 = 26.

Find the inverse g(x)=x/5-6
STALIN [3.7K]
Interpreted: g(x) = \frac{x}{5} - 6
Let y = g(x)
y = \frac{x}{5} - 6
x = \frac{y}{5} - 6 (Interchange the x and y-values)

\frac{y}{5} = x + 6 (Solve for y)
y = 5(x + 6)

\therefore g^{-1}(x) = 5(x + 6)
