You enter a relay race. To start, you must run 20 yards to Checkpoint A. You then must turn and run 12 yards to Checkpoint B. La

st, you must turn and run back to the starting line. What is the distance from Checkpoint B to the starting line? THANKS :)

Distance to checkpoint A from starting line = 20 yards.

Then from A to B distance = 12 yards.

Let us take starting point C.

So, it would make a right triangle.

We have AB = 12, AC = 20, we need to find BC, that is Hypotenuse of the right triangle.

According to Pythagoras theorem:

BC^2 = AB^2+AC^2

BC^2 = 12^2+20^2

BC^2 = 144 +400 = 544

BC= \sqrt{544}

BC = 23.32.

<h3>Therefore,  23.32 yards is the distance from Checkpoint B to the starting line.</h3>

Answer:

The shortest distance between checkpoint A and checkpoint B is 23.33 yards.        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Let O be the starting point.

Distance between the starting point and checkpoint A = 20 yards

To reach checkpoint B, one need to take a turn and let it be a 90 degrees turn toward right or left.

Distance between checkpoint A and checkpoint B = 12 yards

In order to find the shortest distance between the checkpoint A and checkpoint B, the displacement, we use the Pythagoras theorem.

Statement:

In  a right angled triangle:

(Side 1)^2 + (Side 2)^2 = (Hypotenuse)^2

(OA)^2 + (AB)^2 = (AB)^2\\(20)^2 + (12)^2 = (AB)^2\\400 + 144 = (AB)^2\\(AB)^2 = 544\\AB = \sqrt{544} \approx 23.33

Hence, the shortest distance between checkpoint A and checkpoint B is 23.33 yards.

Ind the slope and y intercept of -9x+3y=5
Radda [10]

Answer:

first, you need to get y on one side. So, because the x is negative it becomes positive when you switch it to the other side. 3y= 9x+5. You then need to divide all parts by 3. 3/3= 1 so thats just y. 9/3 is 3 so thats 3x. then 5/3 is a fraction that you can write as just 5/3 or 1 and 2/3. That would leave you with y= 3x + 5/3. Then x (3) is your slope. and what you add to it (5/3) is your y int.

The graph of a logarithmic function is shown below.
Dmitrij [34]

Domain means all the x-values include in the graph.

In this case the graph starts including x-values at 0 and all x-values that are greater then 0.

In other words x can be zero or anything larger

Technically you would show this like so:

x ≥ 0

You use the inequality symbol with the bar underneath because you want to show that 0 is included in the domain. It faces away from the zero and towards the x because x can be larger then 0 not smaller.

I guess in this case you wouldn't be including 0 so your answer is:

B. x > 0

Hope this helped!
