5. To get to the library from his house, Robert biked 6 kilometers due east and then

Mathematics
1 answer:
AURORKA [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

24 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest path between two points is a straight segment that connects the two points.

Refer to the diagram attached. The 6-km segment and the 8-km segment are normal to each other. Together with the segment that joins the library and the house, the three segments now form a right triangle.

  • The two shorter segments are the two legs, and
  • The longer segment that joins the library and the house is the hypotenuse.

The length of the hypotenuse can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem.

\begin{aligned}\text{Hypotenuse} &= \sqrt{(\text{Leg 1})^{2} + (\text{Leg 2})^{2}}\\&= \sqrt{6^{2} + 8^{2}}\\&= \sqrt{36 + 64} \\&= \sqrt{100}\\&= \rm 10\;km\end{aligned}.

The length of the round-trip will equal to the sum of the length of the three segments: \rm 6\;km + 8\;km + 10\;km = 24\;km.

patriot [66]

Answer:

h(-1) =-3

Question number 8. Prove that 3 + √5 is an irrational number.​
Marina86 [1]

Answer :

Let's assume the opposite of the statement i.e., 3 + √5 is a rational number.

\\  \sf \: 3 +  \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{a}{b}   \\  \\   \qquad \: \tiny \sf{(where \:  \: a \:  \: and \:  \: b \:  \: are \:  \: integers \:  \: and \:  \: b \:  \neq \: 0)} \\

\\  \sf \:  \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{a}{b}  - 3 =  \frac{a - 3b}{b}  \\

Since, a, b and 3 are integers. So,

\\ \sf \:  \frac{p - 3b}{b}  \\  \\  \qquad \tiny \sf{ \: (is \:  \: a \:  \: rational \:  \: number \:) } \\

Here, it contradicts that √5 is an irrational number.

because of the wrong assumption that 3 + √5 is a rational number.

\\

Hence, 3 + √5 is an irrational number.

Which functions are symmetric with respect to the y-axis? Check all that apply.
xenn [34]

Answer:

f(x) = |x|, f(x) = [x] + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Almost all of these are absolute values equations, which means the y doesn't change if x is positive or negative. The first one is the parent form, which is the simplest equation of the absolute equation, so it's symmetric with respect to the y-axis. The second equation is translated 3 units to the left, and the third is translated 31 to the left. The forth is translated 6 up, so it's still symmetric with respect to the y-axis. The fifth is translated 61 units left, and the last one is simply a line, which isn't symmetric.
