Answer:

2.899

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the distance between two points P(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is expressed as:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the points (2,-2) and (1,x) and the distance between the point as 5, we are to get x. To get x we will substitute the points and the distance given into the formula.

Given x1 = 2, y1 = -2, x2 = 1, y2 = x and D = 5

On substitution:

5 = √(1-2)²+(x-(-2))²

5 = √1²+(x+2)²

5 = √1+(x+2)²

Square both sides of the equation

5² = (√1+(x+2)²)²

25 = 1+(x+2)²

(x+2)² = 25-1

(x+2)² = 24

Square both sides

√(x+2)² = √24

x+2 = √24

x = √24- 2

x = 4.899-2

x = 2.899

Hence the other value is 2.899

A storm moves at a rate of 8 miles per hour. It is 200 miles away from Freeport and headed directly for this town. The equation
Eduardwww [97]

Pls see answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, our slope is -8. This means that every hour, the storm is getting closer to the town by 8 miles per hour.

Our y-intercept is 200, which means that its' initial position is 200 miles away from the town.

Hope this helped.

if the first two statements are true, is the third statement true? 1. all dogs like walks. 2. bandit doesn't like walks. 3. band
Strike441 [17]

If the first two statements are true, then the third statement:

"Bandit is not a dog"

Is true.

<h3>if the first two statements are true, is the third statement true?</h3>

The first statement is:

P = "All dogs like walks"

We assume that this is true, so, if X is a dog, X likes walks.

The second statement is:

Q = "Bandit doesn't like walks"

From this, we only can conclude that Bandit doesn't like walks.

And all dogs like walks, so if Bandit were a dog, he would like walks, but because he does not like walks, we can conclude that Bandit is not a dog.

From that, the third statement:

K = "Bandit is not a dog"

Is true.

So we write that as a conditional statement:

If P and Q ⇒ K

<em>"if all dogs like walks, and Bandit doesn't like walks, then bandit is not a dog".</em>

The data set shows the numbers of hours students study the week before a test. Find and interpret the mean absolute deviation of
patriot [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 9 / total of numbers or 10 = 65 ÷ 10 = 6.5 This is the mean.

3 - 6.5 = 3.5

4 - 6.5 = 2.5

5 - 6.5 = 1.5

6 - 6.5 = 0.5

6 - 6.5 = 0.5

7 - 6.5 = 0.5

8 - 0.5 = 7.5

8 - 0.5 = 7.5

9 - 0.5 = 8.5

9 - 0.5 = 8.5

MAD = 1.7
