You would use the function root(Xsub2-Xsub1)^2+(Ysub2-Ysub1)^2.
Now plug in your numbers.
This gives you root(7-1)^2+(5-(-3))^2.
Simplify to root(6)^2+(8)^2. Simplify again to root36+64.
Simplify one more time to root 100. now solve.
Your answer is 10.
The difference quotient and simplification will be = [4 -h-2x]
The given equation is as follows: f(x)= 4x - x²
For finding the quotient and further simplification we must follow the following steps:
[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h
<h3>What is simplification of algebraic operations?</h3>
Getting the functions in their lowest terms is known as simplification.
Brackets will get open and solved further;
[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h
[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4h - h² - 2x]/ h
Finally dividing the whole equation with h;
= [4 - h - 2x]

# SPJ1
Answer:
131.3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The two cars are moving from different directions. The total distance between the two cars = 118 miles + 256 miles = 374 miles.
Let us assume that the two cars meet at point O, let the distance between car c and O be d₁, the distance between car d and point O be d₂, hence:
d₁ + d₂ = 374 miles (1)
Let speed of car d be x mph, therefore speed of car c = 2x mph (twice of car d). If it take the cars t hours to meet at the same point, hence
For car c:
2x = d₁/t
t = d₁ / 2x
For car d;
x = d₂/t
t = d₂/ x
Since it takes both cars the same time to meet at the same point, therefore:
d₁/2x = d₂ / x
d₁ = 2d₂
d₁ - 2d₂ = 0 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives d₁ = 249.3 miles, d₂ = 124.7 miles
Therefore the distance from point of meet to Boston = 249.3 - 118 = 131.3 miles
