Answer:

3√5 ≈ 6.708

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between points is given by the distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(4-7)^2+(-5-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-6)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{9+36}=\sqrt{9\cdot5}\\\\\boxed{d=3\sqrt{5}\approx 6.708}$

The distance between those to points is d=6.708204 or d=6

The Pool Fun Company has learned that, by pricing a newly released Fun Noodle at $3, sales will reach 6000 Fun Noodles per day d

Salsk061 [2.6K]

PART A:
The generic equation of the line is:
y-yo = m (x-xo)
First we look for the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = ((5000) - (6000)) / (4-3)
m = -1000
Then, we substitute any point in the generic equation:
(xo, yo) = (4, 5000)
Substituting:
y-5000 = (- 1000) (x-4)
Rewriting:
y = -1000x + 4000 + 5000
y = -1000x + 9000
The equation is:
y = -1000x + 9000

PART B:
For the price of 3.50 we have:
y = -1000 * (3.5) +9000
y = 5500

Triangle ABC is equilateral. Find the height of BD

RideAnS [48]

Since ABC is equilateral, all 3 sides have equal length. side AC is 8 units since side BC is 8 units.

Line BD is placed in the middle, making D the midpoint of side AC.

knowing this information we can determine that the length of DC is 4 units (half of AC)

since triangle BDC is a right triangle, we can use the side lengths in the pythagorean theorem to find the length of BD

a²+b²=c² where a & b = legs of triangle , and c= hypotenuse (longest side)

we are given the hypotenuse and found one leg so we can plug our values into the equation to find the third

4² + b²= 8²

16 + b² = 64

b² = 48

b = $\sqrt{48}$

b= 4√3 or about 6.928 units

hope this helped
