Answer:

the length of ST = 3.6 to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on the Cartesian are written as (x, y)

Given points S(-4, -2) and T(-1, 0)

The distance between these two points is given by the formula

ST = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²]

x₂ = -4

x₁ = -1

y₂ = -2

y₁ = 0

ST = √{[-4 - (-1)]² + [-2 - 0]²}

ST = √[(-4 + 1)² + (-2)²]

ST = √(-3²+4)

ST = √(9 + 4)

ST = √13

ST = 3.6 to the nearest tenth

What function translates the function f(x) = to the right 2 units and up 10 units?<br><br> g(x)= |

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

g(x) = | x - 2 | + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

given g(x) then g(x± h ) is a horizontal translation of g(x)

• if h > 0 then a move to the left of h units

• if h < 0 then a move to the right of h units

here the move is 2 units to the right, then

g(x) = | x - 2 |

given g(x) then g(x) + c is a vertical translation of g(x)

• if c > 0 then a move up

• if c < 0 then a move down

here the move is 10 units up , then

g(x) = | x - 2 | + 10

The sum of two numbers is 98. their difference is 22. write a system of equations that describes this situation. solve by elimin

larisa [96]

Y+x=98
y-x=22

I'm going to use elimination.

y+x=98
y-x=22
-----------
2y+0x=120 SIMPLIFY 2y=120 SIMPLIFY y=60.

Substitute that into either equation and you get y=60 and x=38

Have a nice day! :)

The sum of 2 numbers is 50. the second number is 5 times the first. what is the number.

sp2606 [1]

Let the first and smaller number be x. Since the second number is 5 times the first, the second number is 5x. We also know both of these numbers must add to 50; thus, we can create the following equation.

$x+5x=50$

Combine like terms

$6x = 50$

Divide both sides by 6

$x = 50/6 = 25/3 \approx 8.333$

This is the value of the first number. The number you're looking for isn't specified in the question description, so I'll just provide the value of the second number. The second number has to be 5 times the first.

Thus, we just multiply 5 to x.

$5x = 5(25/3) = 125/3 \approx 41.667$

That's the value of the second number.
