Answer: √32

Step-by-step explanation: so the displacement is north 4 and west 4 and it becomes a right triangle so the hypotenuse is the distance for segment AB

So Drawn out should like straight lines up,down,left,and right. So east is positive while west is negative same for North(+) and South(-)

I recommend sticking with 2 directions first. Starting with north and south right. First you go south 1 mile but then you go north 5miles in math terms

-1+5=4 or down one is one less than 5

Same for east and west. 3+-7 = -4

So we went positive 4 miles up and 4miles to the left

So (-4)^2+4^2= hypotenuse or AB segment in this case

Solve 3x + 7 > -x - 9. Show each step of your work.
Kruka [31]

Answer:

x > -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequalities like these are solved the same way equations are solved, except when multiplying both sides you flip the less than/greater than sign:

3x + 7 > -x -9

3x + 7 - 7 > -x -9 -7     Subtract 7 from both sides

3x > -x -16

3x + x > -x -16 + x     add x to both sides

4x > -16

\frac{4x}{4} > \frac{-16}{4}     divide both sides by 4

x > -4

In this case the inequality sign did not have to be flipped since we never multiply both sides by a negative number.

simplify the expression below. Express the simplified expression in standard form (12s^4-6s^2+4s)+(6s^4-4s+27)-(4s^4+s^2+12)
joja [24]
<h3>Answer:   14s^4 - 7s^2 + 15</h3>

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

Work Shown:

(12s^4-6s^2+4s)+(6s^4-4s+27)-(4s^4+s^2+12)

12s^4-6s^2+4s+6s^4-4s+27-4s^4-s^2-12

(12s^4+6s^4-4s^4)+(-6s^2-s^2)+(4s-4s)+(27-12)

14s^4-7s^2+0s+15

14s^4-7s^2+15

Note: don't forget to distribute the negative to every term in the last parenthesis
