The step function is characteristic of the floor or ceiling functions, which map a real number to an integer. There's clearly a factor of 2, indicated by two units of y for every one unit of x.
The open and filled circles indicate, for example, f(1)=2, f(1.01)=4. That means we're rounding up, so we're using the ceiling function.
Answer: second choice
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two-digit number is
<u>This can be written as:</u>
<u>The difference between the number and product of its digits is:</u>
<u>Rewrite this as below:</u>
d = 10x - xy + y - 10 + 10 =
x(10 - y) - (10 - y) + 10 =
(x - 1)(10 - y) + 10
<u>We see that:</u>
<u>The value of d is then:</u>
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be done without the Distance Formula (which is a way to find the distance between any two points in the plane).
The attached image shows the points and segments joining them.
PQ = 5 because the points are on the same horizontal line, and you can count spaces between them (or subtract x-coordinates: 4 - (-1) = 5).
PR = 12 because the points are on the same vertical line; count spaces or subtract y-coordinates, 7 - (-5) = 12.
The triangle is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse.
The perimeter of the triangle is 5 + 12 + 13 = 30
