Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form. (8, – 7) and (1, -1)

Mathematics

dedylja [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The distance between the two points is \sqrt{85} units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the rule of the distance between two point (x_{1},y_{1}) and  (x_{2},y_{2})

d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

∵ We need to find the distance between the two points (8, -7) and (1, -1)

→ Let x_{1} = 8 and x_{2} = 1

→ Let y_{1} = -7 and y_{2} = -1

→ Substitute their values in the rule above

∴ d=\sqrt{(1-8)^{2}+(-1--7)^{2}}

∴ d=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+(-1+7)^{2}}

∴ d=\sqrt{49+36}

∴ d=\sqrt{85}

→ Simplify the radical

∵ 85 = 5 × 17

→ Both of them are prime numbers

∴ The simplest form of \sqrt{85} is \sqrt{85}

∴ The distance between the two points is \sqrt{85} units

Is this correct? (Metric system)
Savatey [412]

You're almost there! These are the only ones you've missed:

160cm are 1600mm. In fact, centimeters (cm) are immediately after millimeters (mm), so there's only a factor of 10 between them. In other words, one centimeter equals 10 millimeters, so you have to multiply by 10 if you want to convert cm to mm

109g are 0.109kg. In fact, one kilogram (kg) equals 1000 grams (g), so one gram equals one thousandth of a kilogram. So, when you convert grams to kilograms, you have to divide by 3, which means shifting the decimal separator three places to the left:

109

10.9 <--- one shift

1.09 <--- two shifts

0.109 <--- three shifts

For the exact same reason, 250 meters are 0.250 km


Everything else is correct, so good job!

One quantity of interest is maximum height. What other quantity might be of interest?
3241004551 [841]

The other quantity which might be of interest is initial velocity

<h3>What is maximum height?</h3>

The maximum height of the object can be defined as the highest vertical position along its trajectory line.

The range of the projectile is also known as the horizontal displacement of the projectile. It is largely dependent on the initial velocity of the object.

If;

  • v is the initial velocity
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = maximum height in meters
  • θ = angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal plane (radians or degrees).

Maximum height of projectile is given by the formula:

H = \frac{vo^2sin^2\alpha }{2g}

From this, we can deduce that another quantity of interest is initial velocity

Thus, the other quantity which might be of interest is initial velocity

XY and BD are parallel lines.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

a) Angle XBC = 55° because corresponding angles are equal.

b) Angle BXC = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of the complete question is attached to this solution.

a) Angle XBC = 55° because....

Line XY and BD are parallel.

A straight line, AB, crosses the two parallel lines, thereby making angles AXY and XBC corresponding angles because they occupy the same relative position at points where the straight line, AB, intersects the two lines XY and BD.

Since the two lines, XY and BD, are parallel, the corresponding angles related to them are said to be equal.

b) Angle BXC

Since we have found and confirmed that angle XBC is truly 55°.

Triangle BXC is an isosceles triangle, with sides BX and XC equal, the base angles XBC and BCX are both equal.

Angle XBC = Angle BCX = 55° (base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)

Then, the sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

Hence,

(Angle XBC) + (Angle BCX) + (Angle BXC) = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

55° + 55° + Angle BXC = 180°

Angle BXC = 180° - 110° = 70°

Hope this Helps!!!

Points and their residual values are shown in the table. Which point is farthest from the line of best fit?
vredina [299]

Answer:

(3,6.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Residual value the difference between the observed value of the dependent variable and the predicted value is called the residual.

Residual , R=O-P, where R is the residual value, O, is the observed value, and P is the predicted value. The sum and the mean of the residuals are equal to zero.

Now, we can see that the biggest <em>magnitude </em>of the difference is of -1.1 and -1.1 is at the point (3,6.2).  (\left | -1.1 \right |=1.1)

Therefore, the point farthest from the line of best fit is the one whose magnitude of residual value is the most and in this case that point is (3,6.2).
