Answer:

  5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The two legs of Deborah's hike form the right-angle legs of a right triangle. The shortest distance is then the hypotenuse of that triangle, found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 +16 = 25

  d = √25 = 5

Deborah ends 5 miles from her start.

Match each expression to its equivalent standard form.
Aleksandr [31]

Let's expand the products they are all in the form

(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

For the first one we have a=x and b=2i:

(x+2i)(x-2i)=x^2-(2i)^2=x^2+4

For the second one we have a=x-2 and b=2i:

(x-2+2i)(x-2-2i)=(x-2)^2-(2i)^2 = x^2-4x+4+4=x^2-4x+8

For the third one we have a=x+1 and b=i:

(x+1+i)(x+1-i)=(x+1)^2-i^2=x^2+2x+1+1=x^2+2x+2
