Answer:

22.4722

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question we need to use the distance formula. The distance formula is as follows:

$d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2+(y2 - y1)^2}$

Now, let's identify what each variable is:

x2 = 13

x1 = -8

y2 = -1

y1 = 7

Next, let's put these into the equation:

$d = \sqrt{(13 - (-8))^2 + (-1 -7)^2}$

Time to solve the equation:

$d = \sqrt{(21)^2+(-8)^2} \\d = \sqrt{441 + 64} \\d = \sqrt{505} \\d = 22.4722$

Therefore, the distance between the points of (-8,7) and (13,1) is 22.4722.

I hope this helps!!

The path of a breaching ocra whale can be modeled by the function k(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8, where x is the time elapsed in seconds un

____ [38]

Answer:

The time duration of the ocra whale spends under water is 4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that model the path of the ocra whale is presented as follows;

k(x) = x² - 2·x - 8

Where;

x = The time elapsed in seconds under water

k(x) = The height in feet below water

Therefore, the point where the ocra whale enters the water, k(x) = 0

At the point of submerging below the water surface, we have;

k(x) = 0 = x² - 2·x - 8

Factorizing the quadratic equation gives;

0 = x² - 2·x - 8 = (x - 4)·(x + 2)

Therefore, when k(x) = 0, either;

(x - 4) = 0, which gives, x = 4

(x + 2) = 0, which gives, x = -2

Given that 'x' represent the time, the time elapsed while the whale is under water, x = 4 seconds

Please help solve for x and y !! 5 x + y = 11 x - y = 1

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x = 2 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 5x+y=11

B) x - y = 1.

(Solving by substitution)

B) x - 1 = y

A) 5x + (x -1) = 11. 6x-1=11. 6x = 11+1

6x = 12

x = 12/2. x = 2

B. 2 - 1 = y. y = 1

Two consecutive even numbers are such that five times the smaller number , subtracted from eight times the bigger gives 58. Find

olga55 [171]

Answer:

$14\text{ and }16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be $x$ . Since they are consecutive even numbers, the larger number can be represented by $x+2$ .

Therefore, we have the following equation:

$8(x+2)-5x=58,\\8x+16-5x=58,\\3x=42,\\x=\boxed{14}$

Thus, the larger number is $x+2=\boxed{16}$
