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)

Use a graphing calculator to approximate the vertex of the graph of the parabola defined by the following
vivado [14]

Answer:  (-0.4, 6.8)

The graph is attached

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the axis of symmetry using the formula x = -b/2a

x = - -4/2(-5)

x = 4/-10

x = 0.04

Substitute for x and calculate y

y = \left(0.4^{2}\right)\left(-5\right)-4\left(-0.4\right)\ +6

y = 6.8

Help me on this questions please. ​
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The formula for exponential growth is f(x)=a(1+r)^x, where a is the initial amount/number, r is the growth rate, and x is the number of years/month/etc. The problem tells us that the initial area is 4500. Every year, it decreases by 7.25%, which is technically -0.0725. "t" is the time. Therefore, we plug in those values into the formula. Then, we have:

f(x) = 4500(1-0.0725)^t

f(x) = 4500(0.9275)^t.

If you have 9 quaters AND 21 pennies, in percents, WHAT is THE chance THAT you WILL pick a penny OUT is a hat?
nadezda [96]

We know that you have 9 quarters

We also know that you have 21 pennies

Probability is represented as "determined factor" / total

First, we need to find the total amount of possibilities. This means that you have to add 21 and 9

21 + 9 = 30

We want to know the probability of picking a penny out of the hat, so you would represent this as:

21/30

To turn it into a percent, divide 21 by 30.

21 ÷ 30 = 0.7

0.7 is equivalent to 70% as a percent

This means that you will have a 70% chance of picking a penny out

Answer: 70%
