The distance from home plate to second base is 127.3 ft.

The distance between the home plate and the pitching mound is 63.65 ft.

<h3>What is a coordinate plane?</h3>

A coordinate plane indicates the boundary of points of intersection of given axis.

The distance from home plate to second base is the diagonal length of the square filed.

The diagonal length of a square is calculated a follows;

$d = a^2 + a^2\\\\d = 2a^2 \\\\d = \sqrt{2a^2} \\\\d = a\sqrt{2}$

The distance from home plate to second base is calculated as follows;

$d = 90 \ ft \times \sqrt{2} \\\\d = 127.3 \ ft$

The distance between the home plate and the pitching mound is calculated as follows;

$d_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times d\\\\d_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 127.3\\\\d_2 = 63.65 \ ft\\\\$

Find the poin on the graph 0f f(x)=1-x^2 that are closest to0(0,0)

zalisa [80]

Represent any point on the curve by (x, 1-x^2). The distance between (0, 0) and (x, 1-x^2) is

$\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(1-x^2-0)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+(1-x^2)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+1-2x^2+x^4}$

To make this easier, let's minimize the SQUARE of this quantity because when the square root is minimal, its square will be minimal.

So minimize $L=x^4-x^2+1$

Find the derivative of L and set it equal to zero.

$\frac{d}{dx}(L)=4x^3-2x \\ 4x^3-2x=0 \\ 2x(2x^2-1)=0$

This gives you $x=0$ or $x^2=\frac{1}{2} \\ x=\pm\sqrt{2}/2$

You can use the Second Derivative Test to figure out which value(s) produce the MINIMUM distance.

$\frac{d^2}{dx}=12x^2-2$

When x = 0, the second derivative is negative, indicating a relative maximum. When $x=\pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ , the second derivative is positive, indicating a relative MINIMUM.

The two points on the curve closest to the origin are $\left( \pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{1}{2} \right)$

Which method can be used to prove ABC =DEF?

12345 [234]

<h3>Answer :</h3>

ASA (Angle Side Angle) method can be used to prove ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF

<h3>Solution :</h3>

In ∆ABC and ∆DEF

∠A ≅ ∠D (given)

AB ≅ DE (given)

∠B ≅ ∠E (given)

So, by ASA congruency criteria

∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF

If one-sixth of a number plus one-third returns two-thirds of that number What is the number

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

$x= \frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Given

$\frac{1}{6}x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}x$

Required

Find x

$\frac{1}{6}x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}x$

Collect Like Terms

$\frac{1}{6}x - \frac{2}{3}x = - \frac{1}{3}$

Take LCM

$\frac{1 - 4}{6}x = \frac{-1}{3}$

$\frac{- 3}{6}x = \frac{-1}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 6

$6 * \frac{- 3}{6}x = \frac{-1}{3} * 6$

$-3x= -2$

Divide both sides by -3

$\frac{-3x}{-3}= \frac{-2}{-3}$

$x= \frac{2}{3}$

Hence, the number is $\frac{2}{3}$
