Answer:

The distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) = √((x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2) Distance between A and B = √((5--2)2+(4-1)2) = √(72+32) = √(49+9) = √58 = 7.62 Distance between A and C = √(12+82) = √65 = 8.06 Point B is closer to A. Another method to solve this problem is to draw the points on a graph paper and measure distance with a ruler.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|AB|= $\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(-2-5)^2 }=\sqrt{58}$

|AC|= $\sqrt{(-4-4)^{2}+(4-5)^2 }=\sqrt{65}$

Check that 2b+b and 3b have the same value when b is 1,2, and 3. Do 2b+b and 3b have the same value for all values of b? Explain

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Expression 2b+b and 3b have same values for all values of b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two expression $2b+b$ and $3b$ and values of b as 1, 2 and 3.

Consider first expression that is, $2b+b$ .

Substituting the value of $b=1$ ,

$2\left(1\right)+\left(1\right)=2+1=3$ ....1

Substituting the value of $b=2$ ,

$2\left(2\right)+\left(2\right)=4+2=6$ ....2

Substituting the value of $b=3$ ,

$2\left(3\right)+\left(3\right)=6+3=9$ ....3

Consider second expression that is, $3b$ .

Substituting the value of $b=1$ ,

$3\left(1\right)=3$ ....4

Substituting the value of $b=2$ ,

$3\left(2\right)=6$ ....5

Substituting the value of $b=3$ ,

$3\left(3\right)=9$ ....6

For value of b=1, equation 1 and equation 4 are same, for value of b=2, equation 2 and equation 5 are same and for value of b=3 equation 3 and equation 6 are same.

Therefore both expression are same for all values of b.

Wilson says both 6 and -6 have an absolute value of 6. Is Wilson correct. Explain why or why not. Using number line

aliya0001 [1]

Wilson is correct because when you find the absolute value, "negative numbers" don't exist.
