Find the distance of the line segment joining the two points (-4 /2 - /12) and (/32, 2/3)

astraxan [27]

Answer: $4\sqrt{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula : Distance between points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$D=\sqrt{(d-b)^2+(b-a)^2}$

Distance between points $(-4\sqrt{2},\sqrt{12}) \text{ and }(-\sqrt{32}, 2\sqrt{3})$ .

$D=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}-(-\sqrt{12}))^2+(-\sqrt{32}-(-4\sqrt{2}))}\\\\=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2\times2\times3})^2+(-\sqrt{4\times4\times2}+4\sqrt{2})^2}\\\\=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2^2\times3})^2+(-\sqrt{4^2\times2}+4\sqrt{2})^2}\\\\=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3})^2+(-4\sqrt{2}+4\sqrt{2})^2}\\\\=\sqrt{(4\sqrt{3})^2+0}\\\\=4\sqrt{3}\text{ units}$

Hence, the correct option is $4\sqrt{3}$ .

Sketch one cycle of the cosine function y= cos 2θ

Liula [17]

Based on function transformations, the graph of y= cos(2θ), is the same as the graph of <span>y= cos(θ), with a component B of 2, in which case, it means the period is the only thing that differs

well the period for this function will then be </span> $\bf \cfrac{2\pi }{B}\iff \cfrac{2\pi }{2}\implies \pi$

so, the graph of is, the same as y= cos(θ), just shrunk by half horizontally
