Answer:

I assume that says $x^2=-1$ , but that is the case because when we square a number, we can NEVER get a negative number. The smallest square we can get is 0. 1^2 is 1, and no real number squared gives us a negative number.

What is the distance between points a(-3,2) and b(-6,-2)

Veronika [31]

<h3>Answer: 5 units</h3>

Work Shown:

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (-3,2) \text{ and } B = (x_2, y_2) = (-6,-2)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3-(-6))^2 + (2-(-2))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3+6)^2 + (2+2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{25}\\\\d = 5\\\\$

I used the distance formula. Alternatively, you can plot the two points and form a right triangle. Then use the pythagorean theorem. The distance formula is effectively a modified version of the pythagorean theorem.

The flash of lightning travels at the speed of light, which is about 186,000 miles per second. The sound of lightning (thunder)

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A. Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles

B. Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of lightning = 186,000 miles per second

Speed of sound = 750 miles per hour

2. A. If you see a flash of lightning, then hear the thunder 4 seconds later, how far away is the lightning?

Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 186,000 * 4

Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles

B. Now let’s generalize that result. Suppose it takes n seconds to hear the thunder after a flash of lightning. How far away is the lightning, in terms of n?

Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n
