After drawing the line y = 2x − 1 and marking the point A = (−2, 7), Kendall is trying to decide which point on the line is clos

est to A. The point P = (3, 5) looks promising. To check that P really is the point on y = 2x − 1 that is closest to A, what should Kendall do? Is P closest to A?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Having drawn the line, Kendall must verify that the point P belongs to the line y = 2x-1 and then calculate the distance between A-P  and verify if it is the closest to A or there is another one of the line

Having the point P(3,5) substitue x to verify y

y=2*(3)-1=6-1=5 (3,5)

Now if the angle formed by A and P is 90º it means that it is the closest point, otherwise that point must be found

d_{AP}=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}}=\sqrt{(5-7)^{2}+(3-(-2}))^{2}}=\\\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(5)^{2}}=\sqrt{29}

and we found the distance PQ and QA

; d_{PQ}=\sqrt{125}, d_{QA}=12

be the APQ triangle we must find <APQ through the cosine law (graph 2).

Let h(x) = (g o f)(x) = sqrt{x+3}
Debora [2.8K]
I am assuming you meant to write the following options

A. f(x)=x+3; g(x)=√x
B. f(x)=x; g(x)=x+3
C. f(x)=√x; g(x)=x+3
D. f(x)=3x; g(x)=√x

You need to find a fucntion f(x) that once evaluated in g(x) gives us as a result h(x)

h(x) =  g(f(x))

Looking at the options, the answer is A.

g(f(x)) = sqrt(f(x)) = sqrt (x + 3) = h(x)

Mei likes to make desserts for bake sales. Last month, she made 2 batches of brownies and 3 batches of cookies, which called for
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: she uses 2 eggs for one batch of brownies and 4 eggs for one batch of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of eggs that she uses for one batch of brownies.

Let y represent the number of eggs that she uses for one batch of cookies.

Last month, she made 2 batches of brownies and 3 batches of cookies. This means that

2x + 3y = 16 - - - - - - - - - -1

The month before, she baked 1 batch of brownies and 1 batch of cookies, which required a total of 6 eggs. This means that

x + y = 6 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

2x + 3y = 16

2x + 2y = 12

Subtracting, it becomes

y = 4

Substituting y = 4 into equation 2, it becomes

x + 4 = 6

x = 6 - 4 = 2

125. Albert surveyed a class of 25 students on sports. 5 kids love baseball. 7 kids love basketball. 10 kids
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

3 students

Step-by-step explanation:

since the<em> </em>total number of students is 25,when you add those that like baseball, basketball and football the total number must be 25 but in this case it's 22 meaning 2 student liked neither.

7+5+10+x=25

x=25-22

=3

I hope this helps
