Answer:

If light passes in an angle to a surface with a particular refractive index it refracts. This change in direction is due to a change in velocity. As light , for example, travels from air through water, it slows down, allowing it to continue travelling at a different angle or direction.

Find the distance between the points (9,3) and (–5,3).

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The answer to the question provided is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

》The Distance Formula:

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

》Plug in.

$d = \sqrt{( - 5 - 9)^{2} + (3 - 3) ^{2} } \\ d = \sqrt{( - 14)^{2} + (0) ^{2} } \\ d = \sqrt{196 + 0} \\ d = \sqrt{196} \\ d = 14$

Which of the following rational numbers is equal to 2 point 8 with bar over 8 ? twenty two over nine, twenty four over nine, twe

alina1380 [7]

Just to remove ambiguities, the bar over the expression means it's repeating itself to infinity.

$\bf 2.888\overline{8}\impliedby \textit{now say, let's make }x=2.888\overline{8}
\\\\\\
\textit{and multiply it by 10, to move over the 8 to the left}
\\\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
10x&=&10\cdot 2.888\overline{8}\\
&&28.88\overline{8}\\
&&26+2.888\overline{8}\\
&&26+x
\end{array}\implies 10x=26+x
\\\\\\
9x=26\implies x=\cfrac{26}{9}$

notice, the idea being, you multiply it by 10 at some power, so that you move the "recurring decimal" to the other side of the point, and then split it with a digit and "x".

now, you can plug that in your calculator, to check what you get.
