Answer:

22 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a pond between two points A and B.

To avoid the pond, one must walk to the south from point A to point C (say) by 34 meters and then to the east from point C to point B by 41 meters.

Now, it is clear that Δ ABC is a right triangle with AB as the hypotenuse that is the minimum distance from A to B through the pond.

The two legs of the right triangle are AC and CB.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem, AB² = AC² + CB² = 34² + 41² = 2837

⇒ AB = 53 meters (Rounded to the nearest meter)

Therefore, (34 + 41) - 53 = 22 meters will be saved if it were possible to walk through the pond. (Answer)

Your Question:
<span>Laurie buys four bags of candy with 10 pieces of candy in each bag. Her father then gives her 5 more pieces of candy. Laurie wants to give as much of her candy as she can to each of her six friends, and she wants to make sure they each get an equal number of pieces. How many pieces will be left over, if any, after Laurie gives her friends the candy?
My Answer:
If Laurie has four bags with ten pieces in each bag, and if her father gives her five more pieces,  she would have forty-five pieces and if she has six friends and wants to share it equally with six friends. Each friend would get 7 pieces.

What number plus 2 less than 3 times the number equals 14
Afina-wow [57]

Obviously this will be a negative number

-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x

 

-16 = 2x

x = %28-16%29%2F2

x = -8 is the number

:

:

Check solution in the original statement: x=-8

3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14

-24 - 2 = -40 + 14

-26 = -26

Find the value of x for which the graph of y = 3x^2 - 8x + 7 achieves its minimum y-value.​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

<h3>The y value achieves its minimum at x = 4/3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph of y to be 3x² - 8x + 7, to get the value of x for which the graph function achieves its minimum y value, we need to find its turning point first.

At the turning point, dy/dx = 0

Given y = 3x² - 8x + 7

\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x-8\\ at\ turning\ point\ 6x-8 = 0

6x = 8\\x = \frac{8}{6}\\ x =\frac{4}{3}

The y value achieves its minimum at x = 4/3
