The calculated distance would be in square units instead of linear units.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Distance Formula itself is actually derived from the Pythagorean Theorem. This is the formula where c is the longest side of a right triangle (also known as the hypotenuse) and a and b are the other shorter sides (known as the legs of a right triangle).

The distance formula is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points A (3, -1), B (3,5) *

Harman [31]

Answer:

0 or infinity i believe

Step-by-step explanation:

slope equation is rise over run or y2-y1 over x2 - x1, so 5 - (-1) turns into 5+1 because of the double negative so that equals six. then 3-3 is 0 so it would be 6 over zero and by dividing that'd equal zero aka infinity for slope

the sequence {a_n} is defined by a_1= 1 and a_(n+1) = 1/2( a_n+ (4/a_n) ) for >=1. Assuming that {a_n} converges, find its li

katen-ka-za [31]

$a_{n+1}=\dfrac{a_n+\frac4{a_n}}2$

Assuming convergence of the sequence, we have $a_n\to L$ for some limit $L$ as $n\to\infty$ . This also means $a_{n+1}\to L$ . So in the above equation, we can substitute and solve for $L$ :

$L=\dfrac{L+\frac4L}2$

$\implies2L^2=L^2+4$

$\implies L^2=4\implies L=\pm2$

The limit can only be one of these values; otherwise, the sequence would be divergent. To decide which one is correct, we can observe that the sequence is strictly positive. So $L=2$ .

The depth of a diver is her distance below sea level because depth represents a distance

grandymaker [24]

The depth of the diver is 32 feet below sea level.

<h3>What is the angle of elevation?</h3>

The angle of elevation is the angle between the observer's eyesight horizontal line and the object. The complete question can be seen in the image attached below.

The depth of the diver is the absolute value of -32 since it can't be negative.

= |-32|

= 32

Therefore, we can conclude that the depth of the diver is 32 feet below sea level.
