Answer:

-4a+48

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distributive property, you would multiply -4 with the values inside the brackets, which are a and -12.

-4*a + (-4*(-12))

= -4a+(48)

= -4a+48

Hope this helps!

Find the point on the plane 4x+3y+z=10 that is nearest to (2,0,1). What are the values of x, y, and z for the point? x= 28 /

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{26}}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimun distance between a point and a plane is the perpendicular distance. The formula is

d = $\frac{|Ax_0+By_0+Cz_0+D|}{\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}+C^{2}}}$

where $(x_0,y_0,z_0)=(2,0,1)$ , A=4, B=3, C=1 and D=-10. So, the distance is

d = $\frac{|8+1-10|}{\sqrt{16+9+1}}$

d = $\frac{|-1|}{\sqrt{26}}$

d = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{26}}$ .

3) The foot of a ladder is 1.2 m from a fence

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: $4.5\ meters$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the data given in the exercise, we can draw the diagram attached, where "h" is the height of the building reached by the top of the ladder.

Notice that there are two similar triangles.

So, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{1.8}{1.2}=\frac{h}{(1.2+1.8)}$

Finally, in order to calculate the height on the building reached by the top of the ladder, you must solve for "h".

Therefore, the value of "h" is :

$\frac{1.8}{1.2}=\frac{h}{3}\\\\(3)(\frac{1.8}{1.2})=h\\\\\frac{5.4}{1.2}=h\\\\h=4.5$
