The distance between 2 points P(a, b) and Q(c,d) is given by the formula:

,
Apply the formula for the points M(6, 16) and Z(-1, 14):

which rounded to the nearest tenth is 7.3 (units)
Answer: 7.3 units
Answer:
C. x³+10x²−5x+5
E. 7x⁵+4x²
F. x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph they described should look something like the one i drew below.
So all you have to do is look at the number with the highest exponent.
If the exponent is an odd number and the x is positive then that function will have an end behavior like the picture i posted.
x³ is good
-x³ is bad because of the negative sign
x² is bad because exponent is even
x⁷ is good
123x¹ is good
There are several ways, but the general format follows f(x) = ax2 + bx + c f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where A, B, and C are non-zero numbers. Another way of finding a quadratic equation is examining the graph of it, you'll notice a "U" shape called a parabola, which come in many shapes but they all retain a "U"-like curve.
