(16 - Sqrt(11))/(-2)
= -8 +Sqrt(11)/2
The shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point is 9.4 miles.
Explanation
The joggers run 8 mile north and then runs 5 miles west. we have to calculate the shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point.
The distance traveled north and west respectively makes the height and base of a right angled triangle.
to find the shortest distance to the starting point, the hypotenuse has to be determined.
height h=8 miles
base b=5 miles
using pythagoras theorem

The shortest distance to the starting point is 9.4 miles
The Number is 79500, since the nearest thousand for 79500 is 80000
I’m not sure. But I’m sure someone will help you. I haven’t done it in a while. Sorry about that
Number 1.
, first we will take the
of both of these numbers getting us,
, which then gives us that 
Number 2
, solve for our exponent,
, use the logarithmic formula, and we get,
, which then we get that
