Answer:

The length of segment AB is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is d=\sqrt{ (x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}

With the points (-4,1) and (2,9) you know that -4=x_{1},  2=x_{2}, 1=y_{1} ,9=y_{2}

Now you put the numbers into the distance formula

d=\sqrt{(2-(-4))^{2}+(9-1)^2

(2-(-4) turns into (2+4) because two negatives equal a positive.

After adding and subtracting you get d=\sqrt{6^2+8^2

You then square 6^2 and 8^2 to get \sqrt{36+64

After adding 34+64 you get \sqrt{100, which is 10

So the length of segment AB is 10

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 10 units</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points or a line segment can be found by using the formula

d =  \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} +  ({y1 - y2})^{2}  } \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-4, 1) and (2, 9)

The length of segment AB is

|AB|  =  \sqrt{ ({ - 4 - 2})^{2}  +  ({1 - 9})^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{( { - 6})^{2}  +   ({ - 8})^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{36 + 64}  \\  =  \sqrt{100}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \\  = 10 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 units</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the explicit formula for the sequence below?<br><br> 4, -12, 36, -108 ...
Temka [501]

Answer:

This is a geometry sequence (I.e each term is found by multiplying the same value to the previous term).

T1 = 4

T2 = -12 = T1 X (-3) = 4 X (-3)

T3 = 36 = T2 X (-3) = 4 X (-3)^2

T4 = 108 = T3 X (-3) = 4 X (-3)^3

The general (explicit) formula for the n-th term of this sequence is:

S(n) = 4 X (-3)^(n-1)

The population of bald eagles in Forest National Park is declining at a rate of 14% per year. The following expression represent
neonofarm [45]

We know that the population is declining at a rate of 14% per year.

The expression is:

N ( x ) = 206 * ( 0.86 ) ^ x

where x stays for years.

If we want to find the rate at which the population is declining per month we have to find:

\sqrt[12]{0.86} = 0.9875

And 0.9875 ≈ 0.99

There are 12 months in a year so the exponent is: x/12

Answer:

b. ( .99 ) ^ x/12
