Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin by calculating g(10):
g(x) = 3x - 6
Substitute in 10 for x:
g(10) = 3(10) - 6
g(10) = 30-6
g(10) = 24.
Plug '24' into 'x' into

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the distance between two points, so the following formula is used.
Where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points we are finding the distance between.
We are given the points (-2, -1) and (3,2). If we match the corresponding value and variable we see that:
- x₁= -2
- y₁= -1
- x₂= 3
- y₂= 2
Substitute the values into the formula.
Solve the parentheses.
- -2 -3 = -5
- 2--1 = 2+ 1 = 3
Solve the exponents.
- (-5)²= -5*-5= 25
- (3)²= 3*3=9
Add.
This radical cannot be simplified, so the distance between the two points is <u>√34</u> and <u>choice 3 </u> is correct.
