Answer:
The another way to write 26,000 = <em><u>10×2,600</u></em>.
In solving this problem we can consider Earth to be a sphere. When we have a circle, then we can use this formula to find arc length:

Where:
L= arc length (in this problem it is disance we need to travel)
R = radius of circle (in this problem it is equal to a radius of Earth)
C = angle we need to pass
We are told that two cities lie halfway around the world. If we fly to west this means angle is 180°.
This gives an arc length of:

If we want to fly to north we need to go to 90° northern latidtude and then back to 17° latitude. This means angle is:
C=2*(90-17)=2*73°=146°
This gives an arc length of:

We can see that flying north is shorter. It is shorter by:
12440.71 miles - 10090.8 miles = 2349.91 miles
Answer:
x = -1 and x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Get everything to one side of the equation so it's set equal to zero..
-x² + 4x = x - 4 becomes...
-x² + 3x + 4 = 0 (subtract x and add 4 to both sides)
x² - 3x - 4 = 0 (divide both sides by -1, we want the x² term to be positive)
(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0 (factor)
so
x - 4 = 0, then x = 4
and
x + 1 = 0, then x = -1
