Answer:

<em>d = 4.59 miles</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance Between Two Points in the Plane</u>

Given two points A(x,y) and B(w,z), the distance between them is:

d=\sqrt{(z-y)^2+(w-x)^2}

The fishing boats leave the marina in perpendicular directions. The first boat travels north at v=12 mph for t=15 minutes. Converting to hours t=15/60=0.25 hours.

The distance covered by this boat is

d1 = 12*0.25 = 4 miles

The boat ends up at the point (0,4).

The second boat travels east at v=9  mph for the same time t=0.25 hours. The distance is:

d2= 9*0.25 = 2.25 miles

This boat ends up at the point (2.25,0)

The distance between them is

d=\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(0-2.25)^2}=\sqrt{16+5.0625}=\sqrt{21.0625}

Calculating the square root:

d = 4.59 miles

Which must be true of a quadratic function whose vertex is the same as its y-intercept? The axis of symmetry for the function is
zmey [24]
Answer: The axis of symmetry is x = 0
This is basically saying that the axis of symmetry is the vertical y axis

The vertex is either the highest point or the lowest point on the parabola, depending on what the value of 'a' is. If the vertex is the y intercept, then the vertex is on the y axis. The axis of symmetry goes through the vertex.
