Three of these expressions give the distance between point A and point B on the number line

Mathematics
1 answer:
frutty [35]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option A does not give the right expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the number line if there are two points P(a) and Q(b) given by coordinates a and b, then the distance between those two points will be given by  

d = |a - b| ......... (1)

which is independent of the position of the points.

Therefore, if point A is at - 3.5 and point B is at 7.5, then the distance between point A and point B will be given by  |7.5+3.5| or |- 3.5-7.5| or |7.5-(-3.5)|, but not by  |7.4-3.5|.

Hence, option A does not give the right expression. (Answer)

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$848

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the cost of this familiy's clothing in 1991

First step is to calculate the amount that is increase per year

Increase per year= ($1000-$620)/(1995-1985)

Increase per year= 380/10

Increase per year= $38

Now let y be :38*x + $620 and let x be 6 years (1991-1985)

Second step is to calculate the cost of the clothing in 1991

y = 38*6 + 620

y=228+620

y = $848

Therefore the cost of this familiy's clothing in 1991 will be $848

What is the polynomial function of lowest degree with rational real coefficients, and roots -3 and square root of 6?
telo118 [61]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  f(x) = x³ +3x² -6x -18

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for there to be a root of √6, there must be a factor of (x-√6). In order for there to be rational coefficients, there needs to be another factor of (x+√6) in the minimal polynomial. Then the minimal polynomial with the required roots is ...

  f(x) = (x +3)(x -√6)(x +√6) = (x +3)(x² -6)

  f(x) = x³ +3x² -6x -18

Explain how you could write 45 3/8 in scientific notation
vlada-n [284]

First you must change 3/8 into a decimal, so the number would be 45.375. To find scientific notation you have to move the decimal between a factor of 1-10. 4.5375 . You moved over the decimal once toward the left. so scientific notation would be 4.5375 X 10^1
