What the the distance between the points 6,2 and 1,2

yawa3891 [41]

The distance is given by:

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right) and \:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)\rightarrow\left(6,\:2\right) and \:\left(1,\:2\right)$

$\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2} = \sqrt{\left(1-6\right)^2+\left(2-2\right)^2} = 5$

a gardenner is designing a new garden in the shape of a trapezoing she wants the short base to be twice the height and loger bas

taurus [48]

Answer:

Height = 5 ft

Short base = 10 ft

Long base = 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height, a = short base, b = long base.

From the question,

a = 2h

b = a + 4 = 2h + 4

The area of the trapezoid is given by $\frac{1}{2}(a+b)h$ . Thus,

$60 = \frac{1}{2}(2h + 2h + 4)h$

$60 = \frac{(4h + 4)h }{2}$

$60 = \frac{4h(h + 1)}{2}$

$60 = 2h(h + 1)$

$30 = h(h + 1)$

$0 = h^2 + h - 30$

$0 = (h+6)(h-5)$

$h-5 = 0$ or $h+6 = 0$

$h= 5$ or $h = -6$

We discard the negative value of h since it is a measurement and cannot be negative.

$h= 5$

$a= 2h=2\times5=10$

$b= a+4=10+4=14$

To bake one cake, Drew uses 18 ounces of flour. He has 850 ounces of flour. Let y represent the ounces of flour left and x repre

egoroff_w [7]

Y= 850-18x
since you start with 850 ounces that will be your y intercept
each time you go down 18 ounces so the slope is -18

−4(3m−3)+(−10+8m)=?

Valentin [98]

-4(3m-3)+(-10+8m)
12m+12-1+8m
12m+8m = 20m
+12 -1= +11
answer: 20m+11

*note negative times a negative equals positive and negative times positive is negative
first: you multiply -4 by 3m which is -12m.
second: you multiply -4 by -3 which is +12
third: find the invisible which is 1. (located right here: +(1) (-10+8m)
fourth: multiply invisible 1 by -10 which is -10
fifth: multiply invisible one by +8m which is +8m
sixth: combine like terms
seventh: answer

Answer:

Part 1) The inequality that represent this situation is $5(x+7)^{2} \geq1,050$ or $5x^{2}+70x+245 \geq1,050$

Part 2) Yes, 8 inches is a reasonable width for his tablet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

L -----> the length of the screen television

W ----> the width of the screen television

x ----> the width of Andrew's tablet

we know that

$L=5W$ ------> equation A

$W=x+7$ ----> equation B

The area of the television is

$A=LW$ -----> equation C

Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C

$A=5(x+7)(x+7)$

$A=5(x+7)^{2}$

$5(x+7)^{2} \geq1,050$

$5(x^{2}+14x+49) \geq1,050$

$5x^{2}+70x+245 \geq1,050$ ------> inequality that represent this situation

Part 2) Determine if 8 inches is a reasonable width for his tablet

For x=8 in

Substitute in the inequality

$5(8+7)^{2} \geq1,050$

$5(15)^{2} \geq1,050$

$1,125 \geq1,050$ -----> is true

therefore

Yes, 8 inches is a reasonable width for his tablet
