Keith left his house, rode his bike 3 miles along one road, took a 90 degree turn and rode 3 miles to the local swimming pool. I

f he had ridden directly to the pool, how much distance would he have saved? Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a mile.

Answer:

1.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's figure out the total distance he has actually ridden: 3 + 3 = 6 miles.

Now, let's draw this out (see attachment). Notice that if Keith rode his bike directly to the pool, we'd have a right triangle with legs 3 and 3 and with the hypotenuse as the direct path.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to figure out the hypotenuse length:

c = √(3² + 3²) = √(9 + 9) = √18 = 3√2 ≈ 4.2 miles

Subtract this from 6:

6 - 4.2 = 1.8

The answer is 1.8 miles.

Answer:

1.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.

 We know:

 Length of the sides of the triangle

 We want to know:

 Length of the hypotenuse

 Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:

 d=\sqrt{3^{2} +3^{2} }\\d = \sqrt{2(3^2)} \\d = 3\sqrt{2} \\d = 4.2 miles

 Then, the distance that he would have saved if he travels directly is:

 3 + 3 - 4.2 = 1.8 miles

 Answer:

 he would have saved:

 1.8 miles

The line through (6,-6) with slope 1/2 in point-slope form ?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: y + 6 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope formula:  y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Plug in the numbers: y - -6 = \frac{1}{2}(x-6)

Clear the double negatives: y + 6 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 6)

Find four consecutive integers with the sum of -142
Akimi4 [234]

n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3 - four consecutive integers

-142 - the sum

The equation:

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = -142

n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = -142

4n + 6 = -142     |subtract 6 from both sides

4n = -148    |divide both sides by 4

n = -37

n + 1 = -37 + 1 = -36

n + 2 = -37 + 2 = -35

n + 3 = -37 + 3 = -34

Answer: -37, -36, -35, -34.

Help! Algebra! please answer if you only know! and make it undertanding!
snow_lady [41]
1. a. Pretty much, you just have to rearrange it so that the highest power is in the front. So, here's your answer:
-6x^4+4x^2+2
b. It's a 4th-degree polynomial. A degree means that "what's the highest power?"
c. It's a trinomial. It has 3 terms, hence it's a trinomial.

2. a. Since it's an odd power and a negative coefficient, it will be:
x→∞, f(x)→-∞
x→-∞, f(x)→∞
b. The degree is even and the coefficient is negative, so it will be:
x→∞, f(x)→-∞
x→-∞, f(x)→-∞

3. a. This basically means that if you solve for x, you should get -2, 1, and 2. So, to do this, you can just write it in factored form and multiply inwards using any method of your choice (remember that in the parentheses, you should get the above value if you solve for x):
f(x) = (x-2)(x+2)(x-1)
If you multiply it out, you get (also your answer):
x^3-x^2-4x+4

4. The zeros are at x = 3, 2 and -7. Multiplicity of 3 is 1, for 2 it's 2, and for -7 it's 3.

Hope this helps!
