Wanda is trying to locate the Fermat point $P$ of $\triangle ABC$, where $A$ is at the origin, $B$ is at $(8,-1)$, and $C$ is at

$(5,4)$ (the Fermat point is the point such that the sum of its distances from the vertices of a triangle is minimized). She guesses that the point is at $P = (4,2)$, and computes the sum of the distances from $P$ to the vertices of $\triangle ABC$. If she obtains $m + n\sqrt{5}$, where $m$ and $n$ are integers, what is $m + n$?

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is used to find the distances to each of the points:

 d = √((x2-x1)² +(y2-y1)²)

 d = √((4-0)² +(2-0)²) +√((4-8)² +(2-(-1))²) +√((4-5)² +(2-4)²)

 d = √20 +√25 +√5 = 2√5 +5 +√5

 d = 5 +3√5

Comparing to the form

 d = m +n√5

we see that m=5, n=3. The the sum m+n = 5+3 = 8.

(sorry if im wrong)

Mrs. Chan buys a new car for $21,000. She pays a sales tax of $0.06 for every $1. She pays a property tax of $16.80 on every $1,
lianna [129]

Answer:

$1612.80

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Sales Tax</u> would be 0.06 * 21,000 = $1260

<u>Property Tax:</u>

16.80 for every 1000, so how many "1000"s are there in 21,000? Simple, 21 of them.

So the property tax would be 16.80 * 21 = $352.80

Hence, total taxes (for the year) = 1260 + 352.80 = $1612.80

Dave won a hot dog eating contest by eating 18 hot dogs in 10 minutes. He ate two more than twice the amount of the runner-up. W
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct anser is option

B. 2x + 2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner up be represented by x

If Dave ate 2 more than twice x, this means that the number eaten by him = 2x + 2

Since the total number of hot dogs eaten by Dave is 18

Therefore, the equation will be

2x + 2 = 18

So the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner-up is determined by solving for x

2x= 18-2

2× = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

The runner up are 8

While Dave are

2×8 + 2 = 18.
