Answer:
D) 40 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must find the distance between the mall and the house. The figure formed is a right triangle. The length of the side from the mall to the house forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length:
a² + b² = c²
The two legs of the triangle, a and b, are 15 and 8:
15² + 8² = c²
225 + 64 = c²
289 = c²
Take the square root of each side:
√289 = √(c²)
17 = c
This makes the total distance
15+8+17= 40 miles
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If (x+8) is a factor of f(x), then for some expression p, we have ...
f(x) = (x+8)p
Evaluated at x=-8, this gives ...
f(-8) = (-8+8)p = 0p
f(-8) = 0 . . . . must be true
_____
Similarly, f(8) = (8+8)p = 16p. This may or may not be zero, depending on the factors of p. The only offered statement that <em>must</em> be true is the one shown above.
Enrolement increased by 30% that means last year=100%
incease of 30%=30+100=130% now
now=182
percent means parts out of 100 so
130%=130/100=13/10
182=13/10 of x (x represents the number last year)
of means multipy so
182=13/10 times x
multiply both sides by 10/13 to clear fraction
182 times 10/13=x=140
140 students last year
