Answer:

d = 2√29 units

Step-by-step explanation:

M(-3, 1)and N(7, -3)

To find the distance between these two points, we want to use the distance formula: d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

Plug in the values.

d = √[(7 - (-3))² + (-3 - 1)²]

Simplify the parentheses.

d = √[(7 + 3)² + (-4)²]

d = √[(10)² + (-4)²]

Simplify the exponents

d = √[(100 + 16)]

Simplify the parentheses by adding.

d = √[116]

Simplify the brackets with the square root.

Since 116 is not a perfect square, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 116. One number must be a perfect square. The other must be a prime number.
4 • 29 = 116. Therefore √4 • √29 = √116
√4 = 2. Therefore 2√29 = √116

d = 2√29 units

Hope this helps!

2 taps A and B can fill a swimming pool in 3 hours. If turned on alone, it takes tap A 5 hours less than tap B to fill the same

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Tap A will take 2 hours and tap B will take 6 hours to fill the tank when turned on alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let tap B fills the pool alone in the time = x hours

So in one hour part of pool will be filled = $\frac{1}{x}$

Another tap A when turned on, it takes time to fill the pool = x-5 hours

So in one hour part of the same pool filled = $\frac{1}{x-5}$

Now both the taps A and B are turned on then time taken to fill the pool = 3 hours.

Part of the pool filled in one hour by both the taps = $\frac{1}{3}$

Now we form an equation

Part of pool filled in one hour by tap A + Part of pool filled in one hour by tap B = Part of pool filled in one hour by both the taps when turned on

$\frac{1}{(x-5)}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{x-5+1}{x(x-5)}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{x-4}{x(x-5)}=\frac{1}{3}$

3(x - 4) = x(x - 5)

x² -5x = 3x - 12

x² - 8x + 12 = 0

x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

x(x - 6) - 2(x - 6) = 0

(x -2)(x - 6) = 0

x = 2, 6 hours

We will take higher value of x as x = 6 hours for tap B.

Time taken by tap A = 6 - 4 = 2 hours.

Therefore, Tap A will take 2 hours and tap B will take 6 hours to fill the tank when turned on alone.

deff fn [24]

The closest point above on this line is (0,9)

You can find this by using the rise over run method. Since the slope is -2, we can move to the next whole number point by observing the fraction 2/-1.

Rise = 2
Run = -1

If you start on the point (1,7) and rise two, it will bring you to (1,9), then you have to move back one space (or run) to (0,9).
