"We use different formulas to find the distance of a segment on a number line, d=|a−b|, and the distance of a segment in the coo

rdinate plane, d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√. Why is it necessary to use the absolute value of the difference when finding the distance on a number line, but not necessary when finding the differences of the coordinates in the coordinate plane?"

Distances are considered to be non-negative in all cases.

The absolute value function is necessary to get a positive result when the difference of coordinate values is negative.

The square root function is defined to return a positive result always, so no absolute value function is required when the distance is found using the square root function.

The lowest point in Death Valley is Badwater at 282 feet below sea level. The highest point in
Finger [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Badwater = -282ft

Telescope\ Peak = 11043ft

The position of badwater is negated because it is below sea level

The interpretation of the question, is to calculate the distance between the two given points.

This is calculated as:

Difference = Telescope\ Peak - Badwater

Difference = 11043ft - (-282ft)

Open bracket

Difference = 11043ft+282ft

Difference = 11325ft

<em>Hence, the distance between both is 11325ft</em>

What number must i add to complete the square x^2+8x=-3
Sonja [21]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

(b/2)^2

(8/2)^2 = (4)^2 = 16

(x^2+8x+16) = -3+16

(x+4)^2 = 13

so on so forth, but basically you add 16 which completes the square
