Answer:

5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would be using the Pythagoras Theorem to solve for this.

I have attached a diagram to better help you to better understand my explanation this.

The shortest distance from her playground to her house = Hypotenuse

Pythagoras Theorem for a triangle =

c² = a² + b²

Where c = Hypotenuse

a = 3 miles due west

b = 4 miles north

c² = 3² + 4²

c² = 9 + 16

c² = 25

c = √25

c = 5 miles

Therefore, the shortest distance to Alicia's home from the playground is 5 miles.

Find the stationary points of the curve
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Minimum at (-2, -16) and maximum at (1, 11).

Step-by-step explanation:

OK. first find the derivative.

y' = 12 - 6x - 6x^2.  So for the turning points;

12 - 6X - 6X^2 = 0

-6(x^2 + x - 2)) = 0

-6(x - 1)(x + 2) = 0

x = -2, 1.

These are the values of x at the stationary points on the graph.

To find which is the maxm and which is the minm we evaluate the second derivative:

y" =   -6 - 12x

When x = -2 . y" = 18 so this is a minimum.

When x = 1, y" = -18 so this is a maximum.

Substituting the values of x to get the y coordinates:

When x = -2 , y =  4 + 12(-2) - 3(-2)^2 - 2(-2)^3 = -16.

When x = 1 , y =  4 + 12(1) - 3(1)^2 - 2(1)^3 =  11.

what will most likely be the effect on the test scores of students if the number of hours they play games online increases
dem82 [27]
If the number of hrs they play games online increases, that just means they are leaving less time to study for tests...so their test scores will decrease.

SOMEONE PLS HELP/ What is the value of x?
Serhud [2]
These are similar triangles so you can use a proportion:
\frac{8}{x + 4} =  \frac{12}{2x + 1}

Cross multiply:
8(2x + 1) = 12 (x + 4)
16x + 8 = 12x + 48
       4x  = 40
         x = 10
