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

Let P(x) be the statement"x= x2", If the domain consists of the integers, what are these truth values? (a) P(0) (b) P(1) (c) P(2
jeka57 [31]

Answer: i guess the problem is with P(x) => "x = x^{2}", then P(x) is true if that equality is true, and is false if the equality is false.

so lets see case for case.

a) x = 0, and 0^{2} = 0. So p(0) is true.

b) x = 1 and 1^{2} = 1, so P(1) is true.

c) x = 2, and 2^{2} = 4, and 2 ≠ 4, then P(2) is false.

d) x= -1 and 1^{2} = 1, and 1 ≠ -1, so P(-1) is false.

Is there enough information to prove P is parallel to Q if so state the theorem or postulate?
stira [4]
Yes there is. i do not know the theorem but I know it's rule. If 2 lines intersect the same line, and they have an equal angle in the same quadrant then they are parallel. This is because their all of their angles would be equal and they are basically the same line but shifted over
