<h3>Answer:  29 goes in the box</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

The two endpoints are (-3,1) and (-1,-4)

Apply the distance formula

d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3-(-1))^2 + (1-(-4))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3+1)^2 + (1+4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (5)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 25}\\\\d = \sqrt{29}\\\\d \approx 5.3851648\\\\

So the approximate distance is roughly 5.38 units and the exact distance is \sqrt{29} units.

--------------

As a slight alternative, you can plot the point (-3,-4) and draw a right triangle. Then apply the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The vertical and horizontal legs are 5 and 2 units respectively.

It turns out that the distance formula is essentially a modified form of the pythagorean theorem.

[ f(x) = 3x + 2<br> g(x) = x2<br> Find gf(5)<br> Find fg(x)
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

gf(5) = 289.

fg(x) = 3x^2 + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(5) =  3(5) + 2 = 17

So gf(5) = 17^2 = 289.

fg(x) =  3(x^2) + 2   (we replace the x in f(x) by g(x)).

= 3x^2 + 2.
