Lets say ur points are (1,2)(3,4)

d = sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

u would label ur points
set 1 (1,2)...x1 = 1 and y1 = 2
set 2 (3,4)...x2 = 3 and y2 = 4

or u could label them this way..
set 1 (3,4)...x1 = 3 and y1 = 4
set 2 (1,2)...x2 = 1 and y2 = 2

u have to do (x2 - x1)^2 and (y2- y1)^2....but u can label ur sets of points different. Just make sure u keep ur sets together. Does that make sense ?

Use elimination method - I am eliminaing the y-variable.

1(5x + 8y = 16)    →    5x + 8y = 16
4(6x  - 2y = 54)    →  24x - 8y = 216
         Add equations: 29x       = 232
            Divide by 29:    x        = 8

Answer: x = 8

Use differentials to find an approximate value for <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B65%7D%20" id="TexFormul
Sveta_85 [38]
: Let y = f(x) =  x^1/3  
Then dy = 1/3*x^(−2/3) dx 
 Since f(64) = 4.
We take x = 64 and dx = ∆x = 1  
This gives dy = 1/3*(64)^(−2/3)* (1) =  1/48  
∴65^(1/3) = f(64 + 1) ≈ f(64) + dy = 4 + 1/48 ≈ 4.021 <span>

A TEACHER IS CONSTRUCTING A MATHEMATICS TEST
Nuetrik [128]

The number of ways of constructing questions from the pool of 28 questions if her test is to have 3 difficult, 4 average and 3 easy questions is  924, 000 ways

<h3>How to determine the combination</h3>

Note that the formula for combination is given as;

Combination = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

From the information we have that;

There are 28 questions in the pool

The test should have a total of 10 questions;

6 difficult , 10 average and 12 easy questions

We are asked to determine the combination of;

3 difficult questions

4 average questions

3 easy questions

6C3 = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}

6C3 = \frac{720}{36}

6C3 = 20

10C4 = \frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}

10C4 = \frac{3628800}{17280}

10C4 = 210

12C4 = \frac{12!}{4!(12-4)!}

12C4 = 220

The number of ways of constructing the questions is

= 20 × 210 × 220

= 924, 000 ways

Thus, the number of ways of constructing questions from the pool of 28 questions if her test is to have 3 difficult, 4 average and 3 easy questions is  924, 000 ways
