Answer:

The distance between the two points is $\sqrt{65} \ \text{units}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance between two coordinate pairs, we can use the distance formula:

$\displaystyle \bullet \ \ \ d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Our coordinate pairs need to be labeled accordingly, so we can use this naming system:

$\bullet \ \ \ (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)$

This assigns a name to our points:

$x_1 = -5$
$y_1 = 1$
$x_2 = 3$
$y_2 = 0$

Therefore, we can plug these into the formula and solve:

$d=\sqrt{(3-(-5))^2+(0-1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(8)^2+(-1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{8^2+1^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{64+1}\\\\d=\sqrt{65}$

Therefore, the distance between the two points is $\sqrt{65} \ \text{units}$ .

What value of n makes the equation true? 1/2 (n + 4) = 6 A. 8 B. -1 C. 2 D. 4

Black_prince [1.1K]

1/2 (8+4)= 6
1/2(-1+4)= 1.5
1/2 (2+4)= 3
1/2 (4+4)= 4

So the correct answer would be A(8)

PLEASE HELP ASAP! I don’t recall how to do this!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a. we start by dividing both sides by 200:

$(1.05)^x=1.885$

In order to solve for x, we have to get it out from its position of an exponent. Do that by taking the natural log of both sides:

$ln(1.05)^x=ln(1.885)$

Applying the power rule for logs lets us now bring down the x in front of the ln:

x * ln(1.05) = ln(1.885)

Now we can divide both sides by ln(1.05) to solve for x:

$x=\frac{ln(1.885)}{ln(1.05)}$

Do this on your calculator to find that

x = 12.99294297

For b. we will first apply the rule for "undoing" the addition of logs by multipllying:

$ln(x*x^2)=5$

Simplifying gives you

$ln(x^3)=5$

Applying the power rule allows us to bring down the 3 in front of the ln:

3 * ln(x) = 5

Now we can divide both sides by 3 to get

$ln(x)=\frac{5}{3}$

Take the inverse ln by raising each side to e:

$e^{ln(x)}=e^{\frac{5}{3}}$

The "e" and the ln on the left undo each other, leaving you with just x; and raising e to the power or 5/3 gives you that

x = 5.29449005

For c. begin by dividing both sides by 20 to get:

$\frac{1}{2}=e^{.1x}$

"Undo" that e by taking the ln of both sides:

$ln(.5)=ln(e^{.1x})$

When the ln and the e undo each other on the right you're left with just .1x; on the left we have, from our calculators:

-.6931471806 = .1x

x = -6.931471806

Question d. is a bit more complicated than the others. Begin by turning the base of 4 into a base of 2 so they are "like" in a sense:

$(2^2)^x-6(2)^x=-8$

Now we will bring over the -8 by adding:

$(2^2)^x-6(2)^x+8=0$

We can turn this into a quadratic of sorts and factor it, but we have to use a u substitution. Let's let $u=2^x$

When we do that, we can rewrite the polynomial as

$u^2-6u+8=0$

This factors very nicely into u = 4 and u = 2

But don't forget the substitution that we made earlier to make this easy to factor. Now we have to put it back in:

$2^x=4,2^x=2$

For the first solution, we will change the base of 4 into a 2 again like we did in the beginning:

$2^2=2^x$

Now that the bases are the same, we can say that

x = 2

For the second solution, we will raise the 2 on the right to a power of 1 to get:

$2^x=2^1$

Now that the bases are the same, we can say that

x = 1
