Answer:

14.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance moved North = 12 miles

Distance moved West = 8 miles

Shortest distance to reach starting point :

Let shortest distance to reach starting point = d miles

Using the relation :

Longest side of a right angled triangle:

d = sqrt(8^2 + 12^2)

d = sqrt(64 + 144)

d = sqrt(208)

d = 14.422205

d = 14.4 miles (nearest tenth of a mile)

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find the slope of the linear function represented by the table:

As we move from x = 4 to x = 6 *an increase of 2), y increases by 6 from -2 to +4.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = m = 6/2, or 3.

Now we compare the two slopes:  -2 and 3.

The postive difference between them is 5.  This is Answer B.

15) factor out cos: cos(x)(sin(x)+1)=0
Now this is true when either cos(x)=0 (x=pi/2 and 3pi/2)
Or when sin(x)=-1 (x=3pi/2)
So it's solutions are pi/2 and 3pi/2

What is the solution to the system of equations below?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The solution is the point (18,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=-\frac{1}{3}x+6 -----> equation A

y=\frac{1}{3}x-6 -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

\frac{1}{3}x-6=-\frac{1}{3}x+6

solve for x

Adds (1/3)x both sides

\frac{1}{3}x-6+\frac{1}{3}x=6

\frac{2}{3}x-6=6

Adds 6 both sides

\frac{2}{3}x=6+6

\frac{2}{3}x=12

x=12(3)/2\\x=18

<em>Find the value of y</em>

substitute the value of x in equation A or equation B

y=-\frac{1}{3}(18)+6=0

therefore

The solution is the point (18,0)
