Answer:

D. No, because the given numbers do not satisfy the equation a² + b² = c²

Step-by-step explanation:

For the set of numbers; 24, 20, 32, to form a pythagorean triple, they must satisfy the equation a² + b² = c².

Where, c is the longest side (hypotenuse), while a and b are the two other legs.

Let's find out.

a = 20, b = 24, c = 32

Plug in the value into the equation

20² + 24² = 32²

976 = 1,024 (this is not true).

976 is not equal to 1,024.

The set of given numbers does not form a pythagorean triple because it does not satisfy the equation a² + b² = c².

Using the rectangular route Mike rides 12 miles. If he rides diagonally the distance is √2²+10²=√4+100=√104.
The difference between the two routes is 12-√104=1.80 miles approximately.

Answer:

$y=-3.2\\\\y=-2.2\\\\y=-1.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Insert the given x values for the given equation to find the corresponding y coordinate:

$y=0.2x-2$

$x:-6,-1,1$

Insert -6:

$y=0.2(-6)-2$

Simplify multiplication (when multiplying a negative and a positive, the result will always be negative):

$y=-1.2-2$

Simplify (when subtracting from a negative number, add the values, but keep the negative symbol):

$y=-3.2$

Insert -1:

$y=0.2(-1)-2\\\\y=-0.2-2\\\\y=-2.2$

Insert 1:

$y=0.2(1)-2\\\\y=0.2-2\\\\y=-1.8$

:Done
