Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates E(13,8) and K(7,2), to get the length of the segment EK, we will use the formula for calculating the distance between two points expressed as:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given

x1 = 13, y1 = 8, x2 = 7, y2 = 2

EK =√(7-13)²+(2-8)²

EK = √(-6)²+(-6)²

EK = √36+36

EK = √72

EK = √36×√2

EK = 6√2

EK = 8.485

EK ≈8.5 (to the nearest tenth)

Hence the length of segment EK is 8.5

For the midpoint, the expression will be used

M(X,Y) = {(x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2}

M(X,Y) = (13+7/2, 8+2/2)

M(X,Y) = (20/2, 10/2)

M(X,Y) = (10,5)

Hence the coordinates of its midpoint is (10,5)

Dave can complete a sales route by himself in 4 hours. James can do the same job in 5 hours. How long will it take them to do it

Alexeev081 [22]

We can solve this problem by calculating the individual rate of working and equate it to their total rate of working.

If Dave can complete a sales route in 4 hours, then his working rate is

$\frac{1}{4}$

Also, if James can do it in 5 hours, then his working rate is

$\frac{1}{5}$

Let
$x$
be the hours that both will use to complete the sales route,

Then rate at which both completes this task is
$\frac{1}{x}$

Meaning if we add their individual rates we should get

$\frac{1}{x}$

That is;

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{x}$

The LCM is
$20x$

So let us multiply through with the LCM.

$20x \times \frac{1}{4} + 20x \times \frac{1}{5} =20x \times \frac{1}{x}$

$5x + 4x = 20$

We simplify to get,

$9x = 20$

Dividing through by 9 gives;

$x = \frac{20}{9}$

$x = 2\frac{1}{9}$

Therefore the two will complete sales route in
$2 \frac{1}{9}$
hours.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

x = -4

f(x)=x² - 4x +6

so,

f(-4)= (-4)² - 4 . (-4) +6

=16 +16 +6

= 38

Describe two ways to compare a fraction and a decimal without using a number line.

True [87]

You can compare them mentally! A fraction ia divided into 2 parts, however a decimal is not! Also the strategies you have to use are different. When finding the product/sum/quotient of a fraction you need to find a common denominator. But, with a decimal all you need to do is place the decimals correctly!
