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 ?

The correct scientific notation for the number 500.0 is
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct scientific notation for the number 500.0 is 500=5.0\times10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

While writing a large number in scientific notation we do below mentioned two things.

  • We take any number between 1 and 10
  • Then we multiply this number with an exponent of 10.

Hence, any number in scientific notation is in the form a\times10^b

Here a is any number between 1 and 10.

b is exponent of 10.

Now, writing 500 in scientific notation, we take a = 5

Hence, we have to take b = 2, since 5 multiplied by 100 equas 500.

Thus, we have

500=5.0\times10^2

seropon [69]

Answer:

2/3rds of liad's run

Step-by-step explanation:

3 min 45s = 3 3/4 min = 15/4 min; 10/(15/4) = 8/3 laps

2min 30s = 2 1/2 min = 5/2 min; 10/(5/2) = 4 laps

(8/3)/4 = 2/3

Joshua sells a pack of pens for $3.15, which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. Which equation will help find x, the amoun
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

Joshua sells a pack of pens for 3.15 which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. which equation will help find x, the amount he pays for a pack of pens? how many solutions will this equation have? x+0.05x=3.15, which has infinitely many solutions x+0.5x=3.15, which has one solution x+0.05×=3.15 which has one solution 0.05×=3.15, which has no solution

Let

x= the amount Joshua pays for a pack of pen

5% of x more than he paid for them

=0.05x more

Buying price=0.05x + x

Selling price=3.15

Equate buying and selling price

0.05x + x = 3.15

1.05x=3.15

Divide both sides by 1.05

1.05x / 1.05 = 3.15/1.05

x=3

The equation is 0.05x+x=3.15

The answer is:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution
