Answer:

<u>4 meters.</u> 

Step-by-step explanation:

Benjamin has walked two legs of a right triangle, so you can connect her two movements with a line if you were sketching the situation.. The displacement is the objects overall change in position in relation to its origin, so in your case, Benjamin's apartment. While the total distance adds up regardless of her position. 

So, the total distance Benjamin walked is 10m + 6m = 16m 

Her displacement can be found by your best friends, the Pythagorean Theorem: 10m ^2 + 6m ^2 = delta x^2 (or displacement squared).. giving you a displacement of 11.66, or 12 m.

The difference between the distance she walked and her displacement is 4 meters. 

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, please feel free to post them and someone will be able to help you, whether it's myself or others. Please leave a like, rating, and if possible, Brainliest. Have a great day!

Tìm kiếm x y z<br> x-1/y =1<br> y-1/z =1<br> z-1/x =1
const2013 [10]

<em>y</em> - 1/<em>z</em> = 1   ==>   <em>y</em> = 1 + 1/<em>z</em>

<em>z</em> - 1/<em>x</em> = 1   ==>   <em>z</em> = 1 + 1/<em>x</em>

==>   <em>y</em> = 1 + 1/(1 + 1/<em>x</em>) = 1 + <em>x</em>/(<em>x</em> + 1) = (2<em>x</em> + 1)/(<em>x</em> + 1)

<em>x</em> - 1/<em>y</em> = <em>x</em> - (<em>x</em> + 1)/(2<em>x</em> + 1) = (2<em>x</em> ² - 1)/(2<em>x</em> + 1) = 1

==>   2<em>x</em> ² - 1 = 2<em>x</em> + 1

==>   2<em>x</em> ² - 2<em>x</em> - 2 = 0

==>   <em>x</em> ² - <em>x</em> - 1 = 0

==>   <em>x</em> = (1 ± √5)/2

If you start solving for <em>z</em>, then for <em>x</em>, then for <em>y</em>, you would get the same equation as above (with <em>y</em> in place of <em>x</em>), and the same thing happens if you solve for <em>x</em>, then <em>y</em>, then <em>z</em>. So it turns out that <em>x</em> = <em>y</em> = <em>z</em>.

At the end of each week, an employer gives some vacation hours to a few randomly selected employees. There are 25 employees in h
densk [106]

Answer:  There are 177100 possible groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total employees = 25

Number of  employees  wants to choose = 6

The combination of n things taken r at a time is given by:-

^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Put n = 25 and r= 6, we get

^{25}C_6=\frac{25!}{6!(25-6)!}\\\\=\frac{25\times24\times23\times22\times21\times20\times19!}{6!19!}\\\\=177100

Hence, there are 177100 possible groups.

M(-5,9) and N(-2,7)<br> P(-3,-7) and Q(3,-5
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

M=(4,112)=(4,5.5) A

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint for two points P=(px,py) and Q=(qx,qy) is M=(px+qx2,py+qy2).

We have that px=3, py=2, qx=5, qy=9.

Thus, M=(3+52,2+92)=(4,112).

Consider the accompanying matrix as the augmented matrix of a linear system. State in words the next two elementary row operatio
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The next step to solve the system, would be to divide the second row by 3 and we would be left with:  3 * R2

[1 -5 3 0 -2

0 1 -7/3 0 4/3

0 0 1 2 -2]

Then what we will do is multiply row 3 by 7/3 and then subtract it from row 2, that is, R2 - 7/3 * R3, and it would look like this:

[1 -5 3 0 -2

0 1 0 14/3 -10/3

0 0 1 2 -2]

And these would be the next two steps in the process of solving the system.
