Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the distance between two points is expressed as shown

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

Given the coordinate (17,3) and (17,−5), from the coordinates x₁ = 17, y₁ = 3, x₂ = 17 and y₂ = -5.Substituting the values given into the formula;

D = √(17-17)²+(-5-3)²

D = √0²+(-8)²

D = √64

D = 8

According to the result gotten, it can concluded that Marcia is correct although she didn't use the right expression to calculate her distance. She should have taken the square root of the sum of the square of difference in the coordinates axis according to the formula used.

An advertiser drops 10,000 leaflets on a city which has 2000 blocks. Assume that each leaflet has an equal chance of landing on

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0.00673

Step-by-step explanation:

As each of the 10000 leaflets has equal chance on landing into 1 of the 2000 blocks, this means each leaflet has a probability of 1/2000 to land on the 1st block, 1/2000 to land on the 2nd lock, 1/2000 to land on the 3rd block, and so on.

The probability that a particular block will receive no leaflet is chance of each leaflets to land on the other 1999 blocks, which has a chance of 1999/2000. For all 10000 leaflets to happen like this independently, then the total probability is

$\left(\frac{1999}{2000}\right)^{10000} = 0.00673$

Let g be the function given by g(x)=-3x^2-2x+3 evaluate g(-2)

sashaice [31]

g(x) = -3x² - 2x + 3

g(-2) = -3(-2)² - 2(-2) + 3

g(-2) = -12 + 4 + 3 = -5

Is x=-2 a positive slope

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -2 represents a vertical line that intersects the x axis at the point (-2, 0). Since the line is vertical, the slope is undefined making it not have a positive slope.

Which expression is equivalent to n + n - .18n

wariber [46]

Answer:7500

Step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 15000 and 2 you get 7500.and if you get 7500 you have to multiply to check if its correct so 7500 times 2 equals 15000. So the answer is 7500.

165 new subs.

22 divided by 4 is 5.5. So approximately 5.5 new subs per day. Multiply that by 30 is 165
