Answer:

The additive inverse is equal to $-2a-b$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The additive inverse of a number is equal to its opposite ( the sum of a number and its additive inverse is equal to zero)

we have

$2a+b$

Multiply by -1

$-1(2a+b)=-2a-b$

therefore

The additive inverse is equal to $-2a-b$

Use the distance formula to find the distance, to the nearest tenth, from S(7, −1) to V(−1, 3).

Answer: 8.9 units (choice C)

Explanation:

We plug $(x_1,y_1) = (7,-1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (-1,3)\\\\$ into the distance formula to get the following

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(7-(-1))^2 + (-1-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(7+1)^2 + (-1-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (-4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{64 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{80}\\\\d \approx 8.94427\\\\d \approx 8.9\\\\$
