Answer:
- distance traveled: 30 m
- displacement: 21.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the distance traveled and the displacement after walking 17 m south and 13 m east.
<h3>Distance</h3>
The distance traveled is the sum of the lengths of each leg of the trip:
17 m + 13 m = 30 m
You have traveled a distance of 30 m.
<h3>Displacement</h3>
The displacement is the distance from your final position to your starting position. If you draw a diagram of the journey, you see the displacement is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 17 m and 13 m. The Pythagorean theorem can help you find this length:
h = √(a² +b²)
h = √(17² +13²) = √(289 +169) = √458 ≈ 21.401
At the end of your walking, you are 21.4 m from where you started.
You could do -1/-2 times -5/-4 which would be 5/8
Answer:
6√3
Step-by-step explanation:
6^2+x^2=12^2
36+x^2=144
-36 -36
x^2=108
x=6√3

Starting from scratch, it's possible to find the roots:
<span>4x^2=x^3+2x should be rearranged in descending order by powers of x:
x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x = 0. Factoring out x: </span>x(x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0
Clearly, one root is 0. We must now find the roots of (x^2 - 4x + 2):
Here we could learn a lot by graphing. The graph of y = x^2 - 4x + 2 never touches the x-axis, which tells us that (x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0 has no real roots other than x=0. You could also apply the quadratic formula here; if you do, you'll find that the discriminant is negative, meaning that you have two complex, unequal roots.
