Answer:

50.465 km

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance in kilometers, you need to first convert the marathon distance into yards.  Since the conversion measurement of 1 mile = 1760 yards is given, you can use this to find the total yards in 26 miles:

\frac{1760yards}{1mile} =\frac{x}{26miles} or x = 45,760 yards

Adding this amount to the additional 385 in the marathon distance:

45760 + 385 = 46,145 yards

Since 1 yard = 0.9144 meters, we can find the number of meters the same way we found yards:

\frac{1 yard}{0.9144 meters} =\frac{46145}{m} or m=50,465 meters

Since the question is asking for kilometers, we can need to divide the number of meters by 1000, or move the decimal point three places to the left:

50,465 ÷ 1000 = 50.465 km

Factorise and solve : x^3-x^2-4x+4
Alika [10]

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)

note that the sum of the coefficients 1 - 1 - 4 + 4 = 0

thus x = 1 is a root and (x - 1 ) is a factor

dividing x³ - x² - 4x + 4 by (x - 1)

x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x² - 4 ) (note (x² - 4 ) is a difference of squares )

x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2 ) =0

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

solutions are x = 1 or x = ± 2

All four B points are equidistant from points A and C. Are they all midpoints of AC? Justify your answer.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

For a point to be the midpoint of a line segment, it must bisect it into two equal segments and be on the line segment (hence, colinear with the endpoints). All four B points are equidistant from points A and C, but aren’t colinear with A and C. Therefore, they aren’t all midpoints of line segment AC.

I hope this helps! :)
