Answer:
13.7
Step-by-step explanation:
It forms a triangle.
They are trying to find the height, cause they say the east-bound car went east so that makes the bottom of the triangle, the width. They also give is the distance in between both cars so that's the hypotenuse so let's set up the equation...
15² - 6² = 189
now we square root it
√189 = 13.7
4 times 2= 8. so, 4times k2 = k8. To understand this better, imagine that k equaled 2. That would make the expression above = (2x2)4, which would equal 16. However, since we don't know the value of k, we have to use the numbers that we already have, It would be like solving the expression: (2x2)4 without multiplying the first 2. It would then be 2x8. So, we just simplified it, we didn't solve it.
Answer:
Its just 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Because its absolute value.
Hope this helps!
Start by putting two coins on each side of the scale. If one side is higher, then the light coin must be in that pair (use a second weighing to determine which of that pair is the lightest.)
If the initial weighing shows the two pairs to be even, discard those four and go to the three others. Put two of the coins on the scale - one on each side. If one side stays higher, that coin is your light one. If however they are equal, the final unweighed coin must be the lighter coin.
