Answer:25

Step-by-step explanation:

When a number is squared, the little two that follows a number, it means that the bigger number will multiply by itself.

So 5^2 (^2 signifies the square) means it is 5x5=25

Solve (x+y) if x=-1/2 and y=-3

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$-3\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve

$(x+y)$

For x=-1/2 and y=-3

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the expression above

$x+y=(-\frac{1}{2})+(-3)$

Remember that

$(+1)(-1)=-1$

$x+y=-\frac{1}{2}-3=\frac{-1-6}{2}=-\frac{7}{2}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{7}{2}=-\frac{6}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=-3\frac{1}{2}$

What is the approximate distance between the points (-3,-4)(-8,1) on a coordinate grid?

Alex

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[-8-(-3)]^2+[1-(-4)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-8+3)^2+(1+4)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{25+25}\implies d=\sqrt{50}\implies d\approx 7.071$
