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

At the farm, Justin picks 3 bushels of fruits. The bushels weigh 8 1/4 pounds, 6 1/2 pounds, and 6 5/8 pounds. What is the avera

blondinia [14]

ANSWER

$Average \: Weight = 7 \frac{1}{8} \: bushels$

EXPLANATION

To find the average weight per bushel, we add all the three weight and divide by 3.

$Average \: Weight = \frac{8 \frac{1}{4} + 6 \frac{1}{2} + 6 \frac{5}{8} }{3}$

We convert all the mixed numbers to improper fraction to obtain,

$Average \: Weight = \frac{ \frac{33}{4} + \frac{13}{2} + \frac{53}{8} }{3}$

The least common denominator for the fractions in the numerator is 8.

This implies that,

$Average \: Weight = \frac{ \frac{66 + 52 + 53}{8} }{3}$

This simplifies to

$Average \: Weight = \frac{ \frac{171}{8} }{3}$

This gives us,

$Average \: Weight = \frac{171}{24}$

$Average \: Weight = \frac{57}{8}$

$Average \: Weight = 7 \frac{1}{8}$

A function g(x) has x-intercepts at (StartFraction 1 Over 2 EndFraction, 0) and (6, 0). Which could be g(x)? g(x) = 2(x + 1)(x +

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

$g(x) = (x-6)(2x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x)$ intercepts the x-axis at these 2 points:

$(6,0) ;(1/2,0)$

⇒ 6 and 1/2 are roots ie; if you insert $x=6$ or $x=1/2$ into the equation of g(x) you will obtain a 0.

$g(6) = g(1/2) = 0$

now in order for 0 to appear we should have $x-6$

now in order for 0 to appear we should have $x-1/2$

but $x-1/2$ doesn't appear in any of these, but its multiple of 2 is there:

$2(x-1/2) = 2x-1$

Therefore the function;

$g(x) = (x-6)(2x-1)$

He oblique prism has a rectangular base with a width of 10 units and a length of 13 units. the top base extends 8 units to the r

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the oblique prism has a rectangular base with a width of 10 units and a length of 13 units. The top base extends 8 units to the right of the bottom base.

From the figure the height of prism is

$h=\sqrt{(17)^2-8^2}=\sqrt{225}=15$

The height of prism is 15.

The volume of prism is

$V=(\text{base area })\times h$

$V=(10\times 13)\times 15$

$V=1950$

The volume of prism is 1950 unit². Therefore the correct option is 3.
