The tenth place is located where the '5' is in the following number: 2.54
So, you look at the number <em>after </em>the 5 to see if you round it up or down.

Remember the basic rule of rounding - if the digit after the digit you are rounding is 5 or above, then you round the digit up by one. If the digit is 4 or below, then you leave that digit alone.

Let's look at the first one.
Rochester - 0.97
The nine is in the tenths place, and the digit after it is greater than 5, so you round it up to 1.
Ithaca - 0.947
The digit after the nine is <em>below </em>five, so you don't round it up, leaving it at 0.9.
Saratoga Springs - 1.5
There is no digit after the 5, so you leave this one as 1.5.
New York City - 1.268
The digit after the 2 is greater than 5, so you round it up to 1.3.

I hope that I helped :)

Find k so that the distance from (–1, 1) to (2, k) is 5 units. k= k= *there are two solutions for 2*

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\$

$5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\$
