Answer:

Proxima Centauri is 2.478 x 10¹³ miles from Sun.

Explanation:

 Distance of Proxima Centauri to sun = 4.24 light years

 1 light year = 5.9 x 10¹² miles.

 Distance of Proxima Centauri to sun in miles = Distance in light years x 5.9 x 10¹² miles

 So, Distance of Proxima Centauri to sun in miles = 4.2 x 5.9 x 10¹² miles

                                                                               = 2.478 x 10¹³ miles

  So Proxima Centauri is 2.478 x 10¹³ miles from Sun.

Answer: B) Infinitely many solutions; both equations are equivalent

==============================================================

Work Shown:

x+y = 4 ... start with the first equation

x + (-x+4) = 4 ... replace y with (-x+4)

x-x+4 = 4

0x+4 = 4

0+4 = 4

4 = 4 ... this is a true statement regardless of what x you pick

So there are infinitely many solutions. Each solution (x,y) is of the form (x,-x+4). All solutions fall on the line y = -x+4 which is equivalent to x+y = 4. Note how we add x to both sides.

Or you could start with x+y = 4 and subtract x from both sides to get y = -x+4. Either way, we're dealing with the same equation which is why they both graph out the same line.

Answer:

1.) 471.24

2.) 1231.5

3.) 113.1

Step-by-step explanation: A = pi x r^2 + pi x r x ^2

1.) a = 3.14 x (5)^2 + 3.14 x 5 x ^2

a = 3.14 x 25 + 3.14 x 5 x 25

a = 78.54 + 392.70

a ≈ 471.24

2.) A = 3.14 (7)^2 + 3.14 x (7) x ^2

a = 3.14 x 49 + 3.14 x 7 x 49

a = 153.93 + 1077.57

a ≈ 1231.5

3.) a = 3.14 (3)^2 + 3.14 x 3 x ^2

a = 3.14 x 9 + 3.14 x 3 x 9

a = 28.27 + 84.82

a ≈ 113.1
