A segment is bounded by two endpoints.

The two segments can have up to two common points

Assume the line segments are AB and CD where the length of AB is greater than the length of CD.

<u>The possibilities are:</u>

<em>A point of segment CD lies on segment AB</em>
<em>Both points of segment CD lie on segment AB.</em>

<em />

See attachment for both possibilities.

Hence, it is possible for the two segments to have two common points.

factorise completely (x plus 2) Square - (x - 4) Square and hence find then value of 1000 Square minus 992 Square

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

$x^2+3x+8$

$15936$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(x+2\right)^2-\left(x-4\right)$

$\left(x+2\right)\left(x+2\right)-\left(x-4\right)$

$x^2+2x+2x+4-(x-4)$

$x^2+4x+4-\left(x-4\right)$

$x^2+4x+4-x+4$

$x^2+3x+8$

$1000^2-992^2$

$1000000-984064$

$15936$

What is the distance between points a(-3,2) and b(-6,-2)

Veronika [31]

<h3>Answer: 5 units</h3>

Work Shown:

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (-3,2) \text{ and } B = (x_2, y_2) = (-6,-2)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3-(-6))^2 + (2-(-2))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3+6)^2 + (2+2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{25}\\\\d = 5\\\\$

I used the distance formula. Alternatively, you can plot the two points and form a right triangle. Then use the pythagorean theorem. The distance formula is effectively a modified version of the pythagorean theorem.

Evaluate the function. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Papessa [141]

Answer:

f(2)=10/3=3.3333

Step-by-step explanation:

f(2) means the value of f for x=2

(3)^(-2)=1/(3)²=1/9

f(2)=-3/2×1/9+7/2=-1/6+7/2=(7×3-1)/6

f(2)=20/6=10/3

f(2)=10/3=3.3333
