Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed.

The diagonal or shortcut that he found represents the hypotenuse of each right angle triangle. The number of blocks he used to walk due due east and north represents the adjacent and opposite sides of the right angle triangle. To determine the number of blocks he would have to walk when he takes the shortcut,d, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

d² = 7² + 3²

d² = 49 + 9 = 58

d = √58

d = 7.6 blocks

The normal distance is

3 + 7 = 10 blocks

The number of blocks by which the shortcut is shorter than walking the blocks is

10 - 7.6 = 2.4

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2.4 units shorter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

3 blocks east and 7 blocks north.

Process

1.- Calculate the distance walking the blocks

     distance = 3 + 7

     distance = 10

2.- Calculate when walking diagonally using the pythagorean theorem

     distance² =  3² + 7²

     distance² = 9 + 49

     distance² = 58

     distance = 7.62

3.- Calculate the difference of distances

     Δd = 10 - 7.62

     Δd = 2.38 units

Erin gets her exercise by running. The graph shows the distances she covers in a given amount of time. How many hours does it ta
soldi70 [24.7K]

The correct answer is  c. 2 \frac{1}{2} hours

Explanation:

The graphic shows the relationship between the distance Erin covers by running and the time this requires. Additionally, to know the specific time that takes for Erin to run a specific distance or vice versa it is necessary to observe at which point the two variables intersect in the line of the graph.

According to this, Erin runs 25 miles (y-axis) in 2.5 hours (x-axis), which you can know because in the line shown by the graph the distance 25 miles that is in the middle of 20 and 30 miles intersects with 2.5 hours or the middle between 2 and 3. Additionally, this number can be expressed as 2 and a half hours, 2.5 or even 2 \frac{1}{2} hours because the fraction represents half. This makes option C the answer.

The graph of function g(x) is a transformation of the graph of function f(x) = x2.g(x) =
mariarad [96]

Given:

The graph of function g(x) is a transformation of the graph of function f(x) = x²

As shown: the graph of g(x) is open down

So, we will reflect f(x) over the x-axis, the function will be ⇒ -x²

And there is horizontal compression so, the factor of compression will be > 1

So, the function will be ⇒ -2x²

Finally, there is a vertical shift down 3 units

So,

g(x)=-2x^2-3
