Answer:
not sure
Step-by-step explanation:









x = -1 makes the lengths of segments PQ and PR equal zero.
That is not possible, so the solution x = -1 is discarded.
x = 8
PS = 3x + 3 + 21
PS = 3x + 24
PS = 3(8) + 24
PS = 24 + 24
PS = 48
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of a parabola f(x) = ax² + bx + c:

(h, k) - vertex

We have the equation:

Finally:

We will start with our guess of 12, since 12*2 = 24.
Divide 24 by 12; 24/12=2. Average this answer with our guess: (12+2)/2=7. This is our new guess.
24/7=3.428571429. Average this with our guess of 7: (3.428571429+7)/2=5.214285715. This is our new guess.
24/5.214285715=4.602739726. Averaging with our guess: (4.602739726+5.214285715)/2=4.90851272. New guess!
24/4.90851272=4.889464766. Averaging with our guess: (4.889464766+4.90851272)/2=4.898988743. New guess! You can see as we go through our guesses are closer and closer to the same number...)
24/4.898988743=4.898970228. Averaging: (4.898970228+4.898988743)/2=4.898979486. At this point our answer is the same every time down to the hundred-thousandth. Our estimate to the nearest hundredth would be 4.90.
Answer:
d = 17.58
Step-by-step explanation:
d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 + (z2 - z1)^2
P1(0, 0, 0) P2(8, 7, 14)
Substitute the values in the above equation and you will get
d = √(8 - 0)^2 + (7 - 0)^2 + (14 - 0)^2
= √(64 + 49 + 196)
= √309
= 17.58
