Let one piece be x.

Other piece is 3 times as long = 3x

The sum of both pieces would be equal to 8

x + 3x =  8

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

The shorter piece is x long.

The shorter piece is 2 feet long.

9) In the standard co-ordinate system, which of the following points in the greatest distance from origin? A. (-4, -1) B. (-3, 3
ludmilkaskok [199]

The point with the greatest distance to the origin is given by:

B. (-3, 3).

<h3>What is the distance between two points?</h3>

Suppose that we have two points, (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2). The distance between them is given by:

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

The origin is given by point (0,0), hence the distance of a point (x,y) to the origin is given by:

D = sqrt(x² + y²).

Hence the distances for each point given in the problem are:

  • A. Distance = sqrt((-4)² + (-1)²) = sqrt(17).
  • B. Distance = sqrt((-3)² + (3)²) = sqrt(18).
  • C. Distance = sqrt((4)² + 0²) = sqrt(16).
  • D. Distance = sqrt((2)² + 3²) = sqrt(13).

Hence option B has the greatest distance.

Graph y=-2x. give the domain and range. is the function dicrete or continou?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Domain: (−∞,∞),{x|x∈R}

Range: (−∞,∞),{y|y∈R}

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the domain by finding where the function is defined. The range is the set of values that correspond with the domain.

Domain: (−∞,∞),{x|x∈R}

Range: (−∞,∞),{y|y∈R}
