Find the distance between the points ( - 9, - 12) and (18, - 12)

Mathematics

ANTONII [103]3 years ago

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

27



Discussion:

By the distance formula (or Pythagorean theorem)

distance =   sqrt ( (change in x)^2 + (change in y)^2)


In our case this becomes

distance =   sqrt (   (18 - (-9) )^2 + (-12 - ( -12))^2)

               =  sqrt (    ( 18 + 9) ^2   + ( -12 + 12) ^ 2)

               =  sqrt (  ( 18 + 9) ^2 + 0^2 )

               = sqrt ( 27^2)

               = 27

 

Geometrically, as both y coordinates = -12, the points define a horizontal line segment. The length is then simply the difference of the x coordinates, 18 - (-9) = 18 +9 = 27. Same answer as before



Thank you,

MrB

A statement and a proposed negation are given below. Statement: The product of any irrational number and any rational number is
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The proposed negation is not correct. A possible corect negation woulld be: There is an irrational number and, a rational number whose product is rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information above:

STATEMENT: "The product of <em>ANY</em> irrational number and <em>ANY </em>rational number is irrational".

From the above statement, the word <em>"ANY"</em> is very vital. Let assume we choose an element x from a particular set X of irrational numbers, as well as an element y from the set Y of a rational number, therefore, the statement has a use case and applies to every x and y element. Thus, in an effective mathematical way, the statement typically implies "for all x in set X and for all y in set Y, the product x*y is irrational.

However; from the negation of the "for all" statement is "there exists" (any text in discrete arithmetic will assist you to become fully aware of this fact). Any ramifications in the statement is likewise negated, i.e; if the statement infers that the resulted product of x and y is irrational, at that point the negation(invalidation) infers that the item isn't irrational. For example, it is rational. At the point when we set up every one of these facts, we get:

"There exist an element x in the set X, in addition to that; there exists an element y in set Y;  x*y is rational".

If we express that into the option given; the right option is:

"There exist an irrational number and a rational number whose product is rational"

Solve this system of linear equations by substitution method
VikaD [51]
If I were you, I would select the first equation to put in y=mx+b form so that you can substitute it in to the second one. What you do is you subtract the x from the left side and bring it over to the right and then you divide everything by 5. The y=mx+b equation is y=-1/5x-7. Then, you substitute this equation into the bottom one so you are now working only with x's. You should distribute and combine like terms. When you distribute and clean it up, at the end you should get 18/5x-14=8. You then add 14 to get 22 on the right side and then multiply that by the reciprocal of the fraction. When you multiply 22 by 5/18, you should get a reduced fraction of 55/9. You then substitute this value into either equation to get the y-value. You should get a y-value of -260/45. Your answer as an ordered pair should be (55/9,-260/45).

Llana [10]

Answer:

A total of 360 residents left Planet X in the past 3 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

120 are the residents per year and the 3 represents the years so when you multiply them it would make how many residents that left Planet X in 3 years.

What is the measure of z?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The missing angle is 24 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles form a straight line so they add to 180 degrees

x+156 = 180

Subtract 156 from each side

x+156-156 = 180- 156

x = 24

The missing angle is 24 degrees
