Find the distance between the parallel lines m and n whose equations are

Answer:Find the distance between the parallel lines m and n whose equations are y = x + 4 and y = x - 6, respectively.

There are several ways to do this...here's one

Let (0, 4) be a point on the first line

Then.......a line with a negative reciprocal slope going through this point will have the equation :

y = -x + 4........so......we can find the intersection of this line with y = x - 6....set both equations equal

-x + 4  = x - 6   add x, 6 to both sides

10 = 2x     divide both sides by 2

5  = x

So...using -x + 4, the y value  at intersection  = -1.......

So...we just need to find the distance from  (0,4)  to ( 5, -1)  =

√[ (5)^2 + (4 + 1)^2 ] =  5√2  ≈  7.07 units

Here's a pic....AB is the distance  with A = (0,4)  and B = (5, -1)

Find the domain of the following expression 15 - √(x+2)
ipn [44]

Answer:

[-2, ∞]

Step-by-step explanation:

15 - √(x+2)

domain is any value as long as (x+2) is not-negative, since √ of a negative number has no Real solution.

x+2 ≥ 0 ⇒ x ≥ -2

Travka [436]
15/9 = 1.6666... (where 6 repeats infinitely)

If we're rounding to 2 decimal places, 6 will round up to 7

Therefore, B. 1.67 is your answer
