Just use the division property of equality: divide 60 by -16 and you will get the value of x

Step by step visualization
$- 16x = 60$
then, the opposite of multiplcation is division so....
$- 16x = 60 \\ - 16 \: \: - 16$
finally,
$x = - 3.75$

Find k so that the distance from (–1, 1) to (2, k) is 5 units. k= k= *there are two solutions for 2*

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\$

$5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k-5=0:\quad k=5\\\\k =5 , k=-3$

Find the distance between the points (-1,-7) and (8,-9). The answer must be a whole number or a fully simplified radical express

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2> $\sqrt{85} \: \: \: units$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

$d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} + ({y1 - y2})^{2} } \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-1,-7) and (8,-9)

The distance between them is

$d = \sqrt{( { - 1 - 8})^{2} + ({ - 7 + 9})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 9})^{2} + {2}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{81 + 4}$

We have the final answer as

$\sqrt{85} \: \: \: units$

Hope this helps you

Which graph represents the function f(x) equals x(x +2)

joja [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay!

A graph representing the function :

f(x)=x(x+2)

I will describe the graph for you!

the points on this graph are : (-3,3),(-2,0),(-1,-1),(0,0),(1,3)

the graph also creates a U shape!
