The "distance formula" an extension of the Pythagorean Theorem is:

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 in this case:

d^2=(-8-7)^2+(-9--1)^2

d^2=(-15)^2+(-8)^2

d^2=15^2+8^2

d=√(15^2+8^2)

So the answer is 15^2+8^2

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

156

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= 4^(2x) -100

Let x =2

f(2)= 4^(2*2) -100

= 4^4 - 100

= 256 -100

= 156

What is the interval notation for the compound inequality? x ≤ −4 or x ≥ 5

torisob [31]

Answer:

(-∞, -4] ∪ [5, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Alright, so greater (or less) than or equal to is denoted with a bracket.

If x is less than or equal to -4, then the bracket is on the left side.

(___, -4]

Because x is <em>any</em> number under or equal to -4, x can range from negative infinity. However, we use a parentheses for infinity because infinity can never truly be reached.

So, x $\leq$ -4 = (-∞, -4]
