Answer:

11.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

What has been describe here is a right triangle.

He went 10 miles east, and he turned left and went 5 miles.  He started at home ended at work.  We want to make a road from his home directly to his workplace (no turns; straight there).

So we have by Pythagorean Theorem:

5^2+10^2=c^2

25+100=c^2

125=c^2

Square root both sides:

\sqrt{125}=c

11.2 \approx c

11.2 miles would be the length of that direct path.

When solving a system of equations, how do you determine which method to use?
bazaltina [42]
Substitution is best to use one one or both equations is already solved for one of the variables. Elimitation can be use if all variables have a coefficient other than 1.

After plotting all the three points, we get the parabolic equation in the form is 2(x - 1)²-34.

<h3>What is parabola?</h3>

Any point on a parabola, which has the shape of a U, is situated at an equal distance from the focus, a fixed point, and the directrix, a fixed line.

General equation of the quadratic equation,

Y = ax² + bx +c

Given points,

(-2, 0),

(-1, -10),

(4, 0).

Putting the points in the general equation,

Putting (-2, 0), we get

0 = 4a - 2b + c

Putting (-1, -10), we get

-10 = a - b +c

Putting (4, 0), we get

0 = 16a + 4b +c

Solving all equations we get,

a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -16

After putting the values,

Y = 2x²- 4x- 16

2(x² - 2x - 8)

2(x²- 2x + 1 - 1 - 16)

=2(x - 1)²-34

Hence we get the required equation in the parabolic form.

Answer:

The second one

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function will always increase or decrease by the same amount:

The first one adds eight for every increase of 1 in the x value

The third one subtracts three for every increase of 1 in the x value

However,

The second one starts by adding three, and then adds 1.5 for the rest

The second table is nonlinear

whether the distribution of the mean of a large number of independent, identically distributed variables. true or false
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The statement is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See comment for complete statement

Required

Is the statement true or false

From central limit theorem, we understand that a distribution is approximately normal if the distribution takes a sample considered to be large enough from the population.

Also, the mean and the standard deviation are known.

However, the given statement implies that the distribution will be normal depending on an underlying distribution; this is false.
