Answer:

x² + x - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 5)(x + 6)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(x + 6) - 5(x + 6) ← distribute both parenthesis

x² + 6x - 5x - 30 ← collect like terms

= x² + x - 30

Find the distance between each pair of points. round your answer to the nearest tenth.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between each pair of points, we use the distance formula, which is:

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }$

So we have

$x_{1} = 2\\ x_{2} = 4\\y_{1} = 8\\y_{2}=3$

When we plug in the values into the formula we get:

d = $\sqrt{(4-2)^2 + (3-8)^2}$

d = $\sqrt{4 + 25}\\ =\sqrt{29}\\ =5.4$
