Answer:

11.18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of a right triangle a, b, c are related by the equation

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where c is the longest side of the triangle

Hence given that A connects B and C directly and forms a right angle at A

5^2 + 10^2 = c^2

Where c is the length of the road

25 + 100 = c^2

125 = c^2

c = 125^1/2

= 11.18 miles

Which rule can be used to describe the growth of the y-values of the function y =12x over each interval from x=-1 to x=3
pav-90 [236]

The function y=12x when plotted using the interval of x-values from -1 to 3 will give a straight line on a given plot. Therefore the function rule of a line y=mx+b can be used to describe the growth or progression of this function. The rule states that y is directly proportional to x.

Xby the power of 5 times y to the power of 6 over 2 by the power of -2 times xby the power of 0times x by the power of 9
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

We have the sentence:

"X by the power of 5 times y to the power of 6 over 2 by the power of -2 times x by the power of 0times x by the power of 9"

Let's break it into parts.

"X by the power of 5 times y to the power of 6..."

This can be written as:

x^5*y^6

"...  2 by the power of -2 times x by the power of 0times x by the power of 9"

This can be written as:

2^(-2)*x^(0)*x^(9)

And we have the quotient between the first thing and the second thing, then the equation is:

\frac{x^5*y^6}{2^{-2}*x^0*x^9}

And any number by the power of 0 is equal to 1, then:

x^0 = 1, then we can rewrite the equation as:

\frac{x^5*y^6}{2^{-2}*x^9}

We can keep simplifying this.

We know that:

a^(-n) = (1/a)^(n)

Then:

2^(-2) = (1/2)^2 = 1/4

Then we get:

\frac{x^5*y^6}{2^{-2}*x^9} = \frac{x^5*y^6}{x^9}*4

And we also know that:

a^n/a^m = a^(n - m)

Then:

\frac{x^5*y^6}{x^9}*4 = 4*y^6*\frac{x^5}{x^9} = 4*y^6*x^{5 - 9} = 4*y^6*x^{-4} = \frac{4*y^6}{x^4}

And we can't simplify this anymore.
