Find the distance CD rounded to the nearest tenth<br> C=(10,-1) and D=(-6,3)

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

CD = 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, use this formula: $L = \sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2} -y_{1})^{2} }$

point C can be info set 1: (10, -1) x₁ = 10 y₁ = -1

point D can be info set 2: (-6, 3) x₂ = -6 y₂ = 3

Substitute the information into the formula

$L = \sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2} -y_{1})^{2} }$

$CD = \sqrt{(-6 -10)^{2}+(3 -(-1))^{2} }$ Simplify inside each bracket

$CD = \sqrt{(-16)^{2}+(4)^{2} }$ Square the numbers

$CD = \sqrt{256+16 }$ Add inside the root

$CD = \sqrt{272}$ Enter into calculator

$CD = 16.5$ Rounded to the nearest tenth, the first decimal

The distance CD is 16.5.

Pleaseee help, question what is the sum of 4x^2 + 2x - 5 and 7x^2 - 5x + 2

Nataliya [291]

Simplification of polynomials.

Polynomials <em>are</em> mathematical expressions made up of many terms.<em>To</em> simplify a polynomial <em>the most, you must collect all</em><em> </em>like terms <em>and rearrange them from highest to lowest power.</em>

<h3>4x² + 2x -5 + 7x² - 5x+2</h3><h3>4x² + 2x -3 + 7x² - 5x+2</h3><h3>11x² + 2x - 3 - 5x</h3><h3>11x² - 3x - 3 ====> Option "A"</h3>

Write the frost ten terms of a sequence whose first term is -10 and whose common difference is -2

Temka [501]

Answer:

$-10,-12,-14,-16,-18,-20,-22,-24,-26,-28,...$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an <u><em>Arithmetic Sequence</em></u> the difference between one term and the next is a constant, called the common difference

The formula for an Arithmetic Sequence is equal to

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

where

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms

a_1 is the first term of the sequence

In this problem we have

$a_1=-10\\d=-2$

substitute

$a_n=-10+(n-1)(-2)$

$a_n=-10-2n+2$

$a_n=-2n-8$

<u><em>Find the first ten terms</em></u>

$a_1=-10$

For n=2 ----> $a_2=-2(2)-8=-12$

For n=3 ----> $a_3=-2(3)-8=-14$

For n=4 ----> $a_4=-2(4)-8=-16$

For n=5 ----> $a_5=-2(5)-8=-18$

For n=6 ----> $a_6=-2(6)-8=-20$

For n=7 ----> $a_7=-2(7)-8=-22$

For n=8 ----> $a_8=-2(8)-8=-24$

For n=9 ----> $a_9=-2(9)-8=-26$

For n=10 ----> $a_1_0=-2(10)-8=-28$

The sequence is

$-10,-12,-14,-16,-18,-20,-22,-24,-26,-28,...$
