Answer:

d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

So, the distance between point (2,0) and a point (x,y)

d = √[(x - 2)² + (y - 0)²]

d = √[(x - 2)² + (y)²]

But the point (x,y) is on the line y = 3x - 1

We can substitute for y in the distance between points equation.

d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]

Josie bought four lollipops for 65 cents each. She paid with a five-dollar bill. How many cents will she get back?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

240 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

cost of one lollipop = 65 cents

total amount Josie need to paid = 65 * 4 cents = 260 cents

amount Josie gave  = $5

As we know

$1 = 100 cents

$5 = 100 * 5 cents

    = 500 cents

number of cents Josie will get back

500 - 260

240 cents or $2.40

So, Josie will get 240 cents back

Please helpp ASAP 2 5 pts + brainliest for best/right answer

Answer:

The vertex is at (-3/2, 33/4)

x=-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y= -x^2 -3x+6

Factor out a negative from the first two terms

y = -(x^2 +3x)  +6

Complete the square

Take 3 /2  and square it  (3/2)^2  = 9/4

The - on the outside of the parentheses means we really are subtracting it so we need to add it on the outside

y = -(x^2 + 3x + 9/4) +9/4 +6

  = -(x+3/2)^2 + 9/4 +6

Get a common denominator of 4

  = -(x+3/2)^2 + 9/4 +6*4/4

y =- (x+3/2)^2 + 9/4 +24/4

y = -(x+3/2)^2 + 33/4

y = a(x-h)^2 +k  where (h,k) is the vertex

y = -(x - -3/2)^2 + 33/4

The vertex is at (-3/2, 33/4)

The axis of symmetry is at the x coordinate of the vertex

x=-3/2

A rectangle has side lengths of 1 3/4 feet and 2 1/3 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle. Write your answer as a mixed num
katovenus [111]

Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangles have congruent opposite side lengths. This means that if one of its longer sides were 2 1/3 feet and one of its shorter sides were 1 3/4 feet then the other longer side would also be 2 1/3 feet and the other shorter side would be 1 3/4 feet.

Therefore to find the perimeter, you would take the given side lengths and multiply them each by 2 to account for both of the congruent sides.

  • 2(2 1/3) + 2(1 3/4) = perimeter of rectangle

To multiply these fractions they would have to be converted into improper fractions. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator---keeping the denominator the same in the converted form.

  • 2 1/3 ⇒ 7/3
  • 1 3/4 ⇒ 7/4

Now you can multiply these fractions by 2. Multiply the numerators by 2 and keep the denominator the same.

  • 2(7/3) + 2(7/4)
  • 14/3 + 14/4

To add them they should have common denominators so multiply 14/3 by 4/4 and 14/4 by 3/3.

  • 14/3 (4/4) = 56/12
  • 14/4 (3/3) = 42/12

Add 54/12 and 42/12 together by combining the numerators and keeping the denominators the same.

  • 54/12 + 42/12 = 96/12

You can simplify this improper fraction even more by dividing 96 by 12 since 12 is a factor of 96.

  • 96/12 = 8

The perimeter of the rectangle is 8 feet.

Isabella spends $4.87 on paintbrushes and paint. How many of each item does she buy? Explain how you found your answer
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:Answer: Isabella buys 2 paintbrushes and 3 jars of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabella can buy together 5 paintbrushes ( p ) and jars of paint ( p ) : j + p = 5, She can`t buy 4 items ( because 4 * $0.99 = $3.96 < $4.87 ) and she also can`t buy 6 items ( 6 * $0.95 = $5.70 > $4.87 ). So: p = 5 - j. Another equation is: 0.95 * ( 5 - j ) + 0.99 j = 4.87, 4.75 - 0.95 j + 0.99 j = 4.87; 0.04 j = 0.12; j = 0.12 : 0.04; j = 3, p = 5 - 3 = 2. We can prove it: 0.95 * 2 + 0.99 * 3 = 1.90 + 2.97 = 4.87.

(Hope this helps!!!!)
