Answer:

.4 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle problem.  We have one leg as .5 in length and the other leg as 1.2 in length.  The "straight" way to your grandma's house is the hypotenuse.  We need to find that length which will give us the distance straight from your house to their house if you didn't have to go out of your way to avoid the water.  The hypotenuse is found with Pythagorean's Theorem.  It will be filled in and solved as follows:

.5^2+1.2^2=c^2

.25+1.44=c^2

1.69=c^2

and c = 1.3

That's the straight distance.  You had to go out of your way to the tune of .5+1.2 which is 1.7 miles.  You figure out how much shorter it is taking the straight path by subtracting 1.7 - 1.3 which is .4

Part A: Factor x2b2 − xb2 − 6b2. Show your work. (4 points)
IrinaVladis [17]
PART A. Notice that we have b^{2} as a common factor in all the terms, so lets factor that out:
x^{2} b^2-xb^2-6b^2
b^2(x^{2} -x-6)
Now we need can factor x^{2} -x-6:
b^2(x^{2} -x-6)
b^2(x+2)(x-3)

We can conclude that the complete factorization of x^{2} b^2-xb^2-6b^2 is b^2(x+2)(x-3).

PART 2. Here we just have a quadratic expression of the form a x^{2} +bx+c. To factor it, we are going to find <span>two numbers that will multiply to be equal the </span>c<span>, and will also add up to equal </span><span>b. Those numbers are 2 and 2:
</span>x^{2} +4x+4=(x+2)(x+2)
Since both factors are equal, we can factor the expression even more:
x^{2} +4x+4=(x+2)^2

We can conclude that the complete factorization of x^{2} +4x+4 is (x+2)^2.

PART C. Here we have a difference of squares. Notice that 4, can be written as 2^2, so we can rewrite our expression:
x^2-4=x^2-2^2
Now we can factor our difference of squares like follows:
x^{2} -2^2=(x+2)(x-2)

We can conclude that the complete factorization of x^2-4 is (x+2)(x-2)

State whether the given equation or function is linear. Write yes or no. Explain your reasoning. 5x4 + 5y = 9
quester [9]

Answer:

The given equation is NOT linear.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x^4+5y = 9

The given equation is NOT linear.

Reason:

A linear equation is defined as the equation for the straight line, where the degree of variables involved is always equal to 1.

But in the given equation :

Degree if x = 4

and degree of y = 1

As degree of x≠ 1 so, the given equation is not linear,
