Answer: x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 * (x - (-6)) = 1
distribute
1/2x + 3 = 1
isolate the variable
1/2x = -2
x = - 4
Consider the coordinate plane:
1. The origin is the point where Sharon and Jacob started - (0,0).
2. North - positive y-direction, south - negetive y-direction.
3. East - positive x-direction, west - negative x-direction.
Then,
- if Jacob walked 3 m north and then 4 m west, the point where he is now has coordinates (-4,3);
- if Sharon walked 5 m south and 12 m east, the point where she is now has coordinates (12,-5).
The distance between two points with coordinates
and
can be calculated using formula

Therefore, the distance between Jacob and Sharon is

Answer: Choice B</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
The rule we use is
![\Large a^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{a^m} = \left(\sqrt[n]{a}\right)^m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CLarge%20a%5E%7Bm%2Fn%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%5Em%7D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%28%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%5Cright%29%5Em)
where 'a' is the base, m stays in the role of the exponent, and n plays the role of the root index (eg: n = 3 is a cube root, n = 4 is a fourth root, and so on).
So for instance,
![\Large 2^{3/4} = \sqrt[4]{2^3} = \left(\sqrt[4]{2}\right)^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CLarge%202%5E%7B3%2F4%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B2%5E3%7D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%28%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B2%7D%5Cright%29%5E3)
or in this case,
![\Large t^{5/8} = \sqrt[8]{t^5} = \left(\sqrt[8]{t}\right)^5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CLarge%20t%5E%7B5%2F8%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B8%5D%7Bt%5E5%7D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%28%5Csqrt%5B8%5D%7Bt%7D%5Cright%29%5E5)
f(x)=(x+4) ^2 −25
to solve set equal to zero
0 =(x+4) ^2 −25
add 25 to each side
25 = (x+4) ^2
take the square root of each side
square root (25) =(x+4)
+- 5 = (x+4)
5 = x+4 -5 = x+4
subtract 4 from each side
1 =x -9 =x
To solve this remember a=change in v/t, assuming the direction for the velocity, is + positive east. You can calculate it simply by this. A=v/t= A=5-20/5= A=-15/5= A=-3m/s squared. Change in velocity= vf-vi.
