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: $\rm 6\;km + 8\;km + 10\;km = 24\;km$ .

Given h(x) = 2x - 1, find h(-1).

patriot [66]

Answer:

h(-1) =-3

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = 2x - 1

Let x = -1

h(-1) = 2(-1) -1

h(-1) = -2-1

h(-1) = -3

Of the following options, what could be a possible first step in solving the equation 8x + 3 = 2x - 15

Basile [38]

The first step can be subtracting 2x from both sides leaving the equation with 6x + 3 = -15

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.
