3 of 5 because you can halve each number for example 6 can be halved to make 3 and 10 can be halved to make 5
The total distance that the family has driven is the sum of the distances from Phoenix to San Francisco,
d = sqrt ((5 - -16)² + (-36 - -12)²) = 10.63
from San Francisco to Blythe,
d = sqrt ((-9 - 5)² + (-20 - -36)²) = 21.26
from Blythe to Los Angeles,
d = sqrt ((-4 - -9)² + (-33 - - 20)²) = 5.83
Adding the distances, we get 37.72.
Answer:
s=7
p=3s
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the side length times 3
So the equation would be p=3s
Plug in 21 for p
21=3s
That means s=7
Remember that a quadratic equation is a parabola. The equation is of the type y = Ax^2 + Bx + C
A linear equation is a straight line. The equation is of the type y = MX + N
The soluction of that system is Ax^2 + Bx + C = MX + N
=> Ax^2 + (B-M)x + (C-N) = 0
That is a quadratic equation.
A quadratic equation may have 0, 1 or 2 real solutions. Those are all the possibilitis.
So you must select 0, 1 and 2.
You can also get to that conclusion if you draw a parabola and figure out now many point of it you can intersect with a straight line.
You will realize that depending of the straight line position it can intersect the parabola in none point, or one point or two points.
