How do you use the distance formula to figure out the area of the triangle. I don't really know how to solve this problem or use distance formula

Answers

The Area of a Right Triangle

The area of any triangle of base B and height H is:

[tex]A=\frac{B\cdot H}{2}[/tex]

The base and the height must be perpendicular, i.e, the angle between them must be 90°.

The trick here is to prove the triangle is right at the point (15, 5).

If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1.

Calculate the slope of the line that joins the vertices at (5, 15) and (15, 5):

[tex]\begin{gathered} m_1=\frac{5-15}{15-5} \\ m_1=-\frac{10}{10} \\ m_1=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Calculate the slope of the line that joins the vertices at (20, 10) and (15, 5);

[tex]\begin{gathered} m_2=\frac{5-10}{15-20} \\ m_2=\frac{-5}{-5} \\ m_2=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

It can be verified that m1 * m2 = -1, thus the lines are perpendicular and we can use the formula given above to compute the area.

Find the length of both lines with the formula of the distance:

[tex]\begin{gathered} L_1=\sqrt[]{(5-15)^2+(15-5)^2} \\ \text{Calculating:} \\ L_1=\sqrt[]{200} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} L_2=\sqrt[]{(5-10)^2+(15-20)^2} \\ L_2=\sqrt[]{50} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Apply the formula of the area:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\sqrt[]{200}\cdot\sqrt[]{50}}{2} \\ A=\frac{\sqrt[]{10000}}{2} \\ A=\frac{100}{2}=50 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The area is 50 square units

What equation that represents the line that passes through the two points (5, 8) and (9, 2)?

Answers

The linear equation that passes through the two given points is:

7 = (-3/2)*x + 31/2.

What is the equation of the line?

A general linear equation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If the line passes through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then the slope is:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Here the line passes through (5, 8) and (9, 2), then the slope is:

m = (2 - 8)/(9 - 5) = -6/4 = -3/2

So we have:

y = (-3/2)*x + b

To find the value of b, we can replace the values of one of the points in the equation, I will use (5, 8)

8 = (-3/2)*5 + b

8 = -15/2 + b

8 + 15/2 = b

31/2 = b

The line is: y = (-3/2)*x + 31/2

An experiment consists of rolling a dice. What is the probability of rolling anumber greater than 42 Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.(Remember a dice has 6 sides numbering 1-6)O 1/2O 2/3O 1/3O 1/6

Answers

We have to calculate the probability of getting a number greater than 4 when rolling a six-side dice.

We can calculate this probability as the ratio between the "successes" (getting a number greater than 4) and the total possible outcomes.

In this case, the only outcomes greater than 4 are "5" and "6", so we have two successful outcomes.

The total number of outcomes is 6 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6).

Then, the probability is:

[tex]P(X>4)=\frac{\text{success}}{\text{total}}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Use definitions of right-hand and left-hand limits to prove the limit statement.lim-1|x|X>0Since x approaches 0 from the left, x<0, (x = []).

Answers

First we need to understand what |x| means or what values it repressents

[tex]|x|=\begin{cases}x,x\ge0 \\ \\ -x,x<0\end{cases}[/tex]

|x| indicates the absolute value of x, this is, x is always going to be positive, for example,

when x = 1 -> |x| = 1 , but also when x = -1 , then |x| = 1

Since, in this case, we need to find the limit when X approaches 0 from the left we are going to use |x| = -x , for x<0

this is...

[tex]\lim _{x\rightarrow0-}\frac{x}{|x|}=\lim _{x\rightarrow0-}\frac{x}{-x}=\lim _{x\rightarrow0-}(-1)=-1[/tex]

At this point we have proved the limit statement.

So, in order to answer the question in the lower part... x approaches to 0 from the left, x<0, |x| = -x

In the graph you can see, whenever X<0 the value of the funcion will be negative and when it approaches 0 it becomes -1

On the other hand, when the function approaches to 0 from the right, the value of the function is +1. This is a discontinuity

[tex]\lim _{x\rightarrow0-}\frac{x}{|x|}=\lim _{x\rightarrow0-}\frac{x}{-x}[/tex]

This way we eliminate the absolute value, because, remember, when x<0, |x| = -x

ANSWER:

C. 8 + h

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following expression:

[tex]f\mleft(x\mright)=x^2+4x+5[/tex]

We evaluate each case and obtain the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(h+2)=\left(2+h\right)^2+4\left(2+h\right)+5 \\ \\ f(2+h)=4+4h+h^2+8+4h+5 \\ \\ f(2+h)=h^2+4h+4h+4+8+5 \\ \\ f(2+h)=h^2+8h+17 \\ \\ \\ f(2)=\left(2\right)^2+4\left(2\right)+5 \\ \\ f(2)=4+8+5 \\ \\ f(2)=17 \end{gathered}[/tex]

We substitute each function evaluated to determine the final result, just like this:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{f(2+h)-f(2)}{h}=\frac{h^2+8h+17-17}{h} \\ \\ \frac{f(2+h)-f(2)}{h}=\frac{h^2+8h}{h} \\ \\ \frac{f(2+h)-f(2)}{h}=h+8=8+h \end{gathered}[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=-2x+4[/tex]

The above function is to be used if the value of x is between 0 and 8. On the other hand, the function to be used when x ≥ 8 is -5x + 11.

Since the interval to be checked is from 2 to 7, we will be using the first function which is -2x + 4.

To determine the rate of change between those intervals, we have the formula below:

[tex]\text{rate of change = }\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Let's solve f(x₂) first. Our x₂ = 7. Let's substitute the function above with x = 7.

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=-2x+4 \\ f(7)=-2(7)+4 \\ f(7)=-14+4 \\ f(7)=-10 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Let's solve f(x₁) first. Our x₁ = 2. Let's substitute the function above with x = 2.

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=-2x+4 \\ f(2)=-2(2)+4 \\ f(2)=-4+4 \\ f(2)=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, we now have the value of f(x₂) = -10, and f(x₁) = 0. Let's use these values to the formula of the rate of change above.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{rate of change}=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)^{}}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{rate of change}=\frac{-10-0}{7-2} \\ \text{rate of change}=\frac{-10}{5} \\ \text{rate of change}=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since the rate of change is a negative number, the function is decreasing over the interval [2, 7].

Charles is 16 years older than his sister Michelle. In 8 years, he will be twice as old as Michelle. How old is each of them now?

Answers

Charles is now 24 years old and Michell 8 years old

1) In this problem, let's turn that information into an equation so that we can solve it using Algebra.

2) The first equation is:

Charles: x+16

Michelle: x

After 8 years, since Charles is going to be twice older than Michelle, we'll have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=x+16 \\ M=x \\ --- \\ x+16+8=2(x+8) \\ x+24=2x+16 \\ x-2x=-24+16 \\ -x=-8 \\ x=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Note that we equated the age of Charles plus 8 to the double of x, Michelle's age.

3) Let's now find the age of them now:

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=8+16 \\ C=24 \\ M=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Plugging back into the first equations, we can see that Charles is now 24 yrs old and Michell 8 yrs old

5. Find the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 2x + 8 and passes through (5, 1).

Answers

First, let's find the slope of the given line, comparing the equation with the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b, where m is the slope).

Looking at the equation, we have m = 2.

Since parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of the parallel line is also m = 2.

Then, using the point (5, 1) in the equation, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ 1=2\cdot5+b \\ 1=10+b \\ b=1-10 \\ b=-9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the equation is y = 2x - 9, and the correct option is 1.

It was a unique enough name that I shouldnt have forgotten once, but the rejection letter was burning a hole in my pocket and apparently in my mind.At lunch, Alma sat across from me, even though by then several other regular volunteers had arrived and offered to take her out for real food rather than subjecting her to the cafeteria fare. I cant imagine how far gone I must have seemed to her, but Ill never forget what she said as I prodded the chocolate mass parading as cake on my tray. You must really love what you do here, she said. I can tell you care about this place and the patients we visited.Her words dug into me, primarily because I had never once stopped to consider whether I enjoyed my time at the hospital. Hundreds of food trays served, hundreds of patients visited, and still somehow the whole experience amounted to nothing more than a checkmark on the extensive list of what I needed to accomplish to achieve my goals. I did think about it then, as I finished my dessert. She wasnt incorrect. A lot of people hate hospitalsthe lights, the sterile smell, the undercurrent of urgency, illness, and tragedy. But I didnt hate it at all. The fact that I was there that day proved more than anything else that I saw it as a comfortable place.Alma and I ended up attending the same university. It wasnt Ivy League, and I wasnt pre-law. Freshman year, I decided to complete my undergraduate degree on an accelerated three-year plan. Although that three years stretched to four-and-a-half, when I graduated, my wife of two years, whose name I had not forgotten once since that first day at Tri-Valley, was by my side and expecting our first daughter. Medical school was its own unique challenge, especially after the twins came along halfway through. We purchased our first house the year they turned six, after I landed a residency at Tri-Valley. But we slept in a nearby hotel for the first two months of home ownership because of a burst pipe that flooded our bedrooms the week we moved in.Looking back, I suppose my life started with that letter. I dont think everything necessarily happens for a reasontheres too much tragedy in the world for that. But theres no doubt that some misfortunes turn into pivotal moments that can alter the course of a persons life for the better. Alma and I have been together for 30 years now, and I still wonder what that other lifethe one in which my letter said congratulationsmight look like. I expect it would have been pretty grand, full of its own triumphs and pitfalls. My children are fresh to the adult world, and when I see their tears as plans go sideways, I like to imagine that someday theyll sit where I am with people to love, hobbies to pursue, and maybe even a spare dollar in the bank.What is the theme of A Complication or Two?
