Answer:

Shorting distance = 6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance walk = 7 km west

Distance walk = 24 km north

Find:

Shorting distance

Computation:

Using Pythagorean theorem:

Magnitude AB = √AC² + BC²

Magnitude AB = √7² + 24²

Magnitude AB = √49 + 576

Magnitude AB = 25 Km

Total distance Nick walk = 7 km + 24 km

Total distance Nick walk = 31 km

Shorting distance = 31 km - 25 km

Shorting distance = 6 km

Sam gave jen 1/2 of his jujubes .jen ate 1/2 ofthe jujubes and gave rest to kyle.kyle kept 8 of the jujubes and gave the last 10
erastovalidia [21]
Let x = the # jujubes Sam had
he gave x/2 to jen
jen eats half of it  =    1/2(x/2) =    x/4
the remaining  x/4 he gave to kyle
kyle kept 8 and gave 10 to Kim
so
             x/4 - 8 = 10
             x/4 = 18
             x =72
thus    jen had 36 jujubes
jen eat    18  jujubes

The general form of the equation of a circle is 7x2 + 7y2 − 28x + 42y − 35 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 with (h,k) being the center of the circle and r being the radius. In this case the circle's equation in standard form is (x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 18. Knowing this it's easy to see that the center of the circle (h,k) is (2,-3). Finally the radius is \sqrt{18} or in simplified terms, 3\sqrt{2}

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation (5y + 6)2 = 24? y = StartFraction negative 6 + 2 StartRoot 6 EndRoot Over 5 End
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

there are two solutions:

a) y=\frac{-6+2\sqrt{6} }{5}, and

b) y=\frac{-6-2\sqrt{6} }{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation: (5y+6)^2=24, since a perfect square with the unknown "y" is isolated on the left of the equal sign, we start by applying the square root on both sides of the equality, and then on isolating the unknown:

(5y+6)^2=24\\\sqrt{(5y+6)^2} =+/-\sqrt{24} \\(5y+6)=+/-\sqrt{6*4} \\(5y+6)=+/-2\sqrt{6}\\5y=-6+/-2\sqrt{6}\\y=\frac{-6+/-2\sqrt{6} }{5}

Therefore there are two solutions:

a) y=\frac{-6+2\sqrt{6} }{5}, and

b) y=\frac{-6-2\sqrt{6} }{5}
