Note: is the first point . So this means that x%5B1%5D=-2 and y%5B1%5D=-3.
Also, is the second point . So this means that x%5B2%5D=-5 and y%5B2%5D=1.


d=sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29 Start with the distance formula.


d=sqrt%28%28-2--5%29%5E2%2B%28-3-1%29%5E2%29 Plug in x%5B1%5D=-2, x%5B2%5D=-5, y%5B1%5D=-3, and y%5B2%5D=1.


d=sqrt%28%283%29%5E2%2B%28-3-1%29%5E2%29 Subtract -5 from -2 to get 3.


d=sqrt%28%283%29%5E2%2B%28-4%29%5E2%29 Subtract 1 from -3 to get -4.


d=sqrt%289%2B%28-4%29%5E2%29 Square 3 to get 9.


d=sqrt%289%2B16%29 Square -4 to get 16.


d=sqrt%2825%29 Add 9 to 16 to get 25.


d=5 Take the square root of 25 to get 5.


So our answer is d=5


So the distance between the two points is 5 units.

x-intercept


To find the x-intercept, plug in y=0 and solve for x


2x+%2B+y+=+4+ Start with the given equation.


2x+%2B+0+=+4+ Plug in y=0.


2x+=+4+ Simplify.


x=%284%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x=2 Reduce.


So the x-intercept is .


------------------------------------------


y-intercept


To find the y-intercept, plug in x=0 and solve for y


2x+%2B+y+=+4+ Start with the given equation.


2%280%29+%2B+y+=+4+ Plug in x=0.


0+%2B+y+=+4+ Multiply 2 and 0 to get 0.


+y+=+4+ Simplify.


So the y-intercept is .


Now let's plot the points and which are the x and y intercepts respectively.





Now draw a straight line through the plotted points to graph 2x+%2B+y+=+4+.

The domain is the set of all values that we can plug in for 'x' which will give us some number output for f(x)


Since you CANNOT divide by zero, this means that we must look for values that make the denominator x%5E2-4 equal to zero. So just set it equal to zero and solve.


x%5E2-4=0 Set the denominator equal to zero.


x%5E2=4 Add 4 to both sides.


x=%27%27%2B-sqrt%284%29 Take the square root of both sides. Don't forget about the plus/minus.


x=sqrt%284%29 or x=-sqrt%284%29 Break up the plus/minus.


x=2 or x=-2 Take the square root of 4 to get 2.


So when x=2 or x=-2, the denominator x%5E2-4 is equal to zero.


To avoid dividing by zero, we then make the restriction that x%3C%3E2 or x%3C%3E-2


So the domain of f%28x%29=%28x%2B5%29%2F%28x%5E2-4%29 is the set of all real numbers but x%3C%3E2 or x%3C%3E-2


In interval notation, we would write that as:

Basically, we're taking the number line and picking out the numbers -2 and 2.

I'm assuming that you meant to write f%28x%29=-8x-2. This can be written as y=-8x-2 since 'y' and 'f(x)' are really one in the same in this case.


Notice how y=-8x-2 is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


So this shows us that the slope is m=-8 and the y-intercept is b=-2. The y-intercept is the point (-2,0).


That's all there is to it.

"As a basketball coach, how many possible ways can you position your players if you have a roster of ten and five different positions?"

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have ten selections and five slots to place them. Let's assume that order matters. So for the first position, you have ten choices. For the second, you have 9 choices (since that first player can't play two positions). The third will have 8 choices, the 4th will have 7 choices, and the fifth position will have 6 choices.

Now just multiply all these choices out to get: 10*9*8*7*6 = 30240

So there are 30240 different lineups.


Another formal way is to use the permutation formula, but we basically follow the same logic. If we were to use the permutation formula , we'll plug in n=10 and r=5. After a bit of work, you'll end up with 10*9*8*7*6 = 30240 which is the same answer.

0.12+-+0.02+%28x%2B3%29+=+-0.05+%283-x%29 Start with the given equation.


0.12+-+0.02x-0.02%283%29+=+-0.05%283%29%2B0.05x Distribute.


0.12+-+0.02x-0.06+=+-0.15%2B0.05x Multiply.


12+-+2x-6+=+-15%2B5x Multiply EVERY term by 100 to clear out the decimals (this basically moves the decimal 2 spots to the right)


-2x%2B6=-15%2B5x Combine like terms on the left side.


-2x=-15%2B5x-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-2x-5x=-15-6 Subtract 5x from both sides.


-7x=-15-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-7x=-21 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-21%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate x.


x=3 Reduce.

5x%2B2y=-3 Start with the given equation.


2y=-3-5x Subtract 5x from both sides.


2y=-5x-3 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-5x-3%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-5%29%2F%282%29%29x%2B%28-3%29%2F%282%29 Break up the fraction.


y=-%285%2F2%29x-3%2F2 Reduce.


So the equation y=-%285%2F2%29x-3%2F2 is now in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-5%2F2 and the y-intercept is b=-3%2F2 note: the y-intercept is the point

h%28x%29=1%2F%28sqrt%28x%29-1%29 Start with the second function.


h%28g%28x%29%29=1%2F%28sqrt%281%2F%28x%5E2%29%29-1%29 Plug in g%28x%29=1%2F%28x%5E2%29


h%28g%28x%29%29=1%2F%28sqrt%281%29%2Fsqrt%28x%5E2%29-1%29 Break up the square root.


h%28g%28x%29%29=1%2F%281%2Fsqrt%28x%5E2%29-1%29 Take the square root of 1 to get 1.


h%28g%28x%29%29=1%2F%281%2Fx-1%29 Take the square root of x%5E2 to get 'x' (this is assuming that 'x' is non-negative)


h%28g%28x%29%29=1%2F%281%2Fx-x%2Fx%29 Rewrite the second '1' as x%2Fx


h%28g%28x%29%29=1%2F%28%281-x%29%2Fx%29 Combine the lower fractions.


h%28g%28x%29%29=x%2F%281-x%29 Take the reciprocal of the lower fraction.


So the composite function is h%28g%28x%29%29=x%2F%281-x%29

%284b%2B4%29%28b%2B7%29 Start with the given expression



Now let's FOIL the expression




Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:



%28highlight%284b%29%2B4%29%28highlight%28b%29%2B7%29 Multiply the First terms:%284b%29%2A%28b%29=4b%5E2



%28highlight%284b%29%2B4%29%28b%2Bhighlight%287%29%29 Multiply the Outer terms:%284b%29%2A%287%29=28b



%284b%2Bhighlight%284%29%29%28highlight%28b%29%2B7%29 Multiply the Inner terms:%284%29%2A%28b%29=4b



%284b%2Bhighlight%284%29%29%28b%2Bhighlight%287%29%29 Multiply the Last terms:%284%29%2A%287%29=28



4b%5E2%2B28b%2B4b%2B28 Now collect every term to make a single expression




4b%5E2%2B32b%2B28 Now combine like terms



---------------------

Answer:

So %284b%2B4%29%28b%2B7%29 FOILs and simplifies to 4b%5E2%2B32b%2B28


In other words, %284b%2B4%29%28b%2B7%29=4b%5E2%2B32b%2B28

The ordered pair (8, -5) tells us that x=8 and y=-5. Plug these values in to get: 3%288%29-7%28-5%29=59. Now compute the left side to get 3(8)-7(-5)=24+35=59. Since 3%288%29-7%28-5%29=59 is indeed correct, this verifies that (8, -5) is a solution to 3x - 7y = 59

Simply pick values of 'x' to plug in to find values of 'y'. To make things easier, select values of 'x' that are multiples of 7 (so they divide into 7). For instance, if x=7, then y=%282%2F7%29%287%29-4=14%2F7-4=2-4=-2 giving you the ordered pair (7,-2)

Looking at y=%281%2F3%29x we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=1%2F3 and the y-intercept is b=0 note: y=%281%2F3%29x really looks like y=%281%2F3%29x%2B0


Since b=0 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 1%2F3, this means:

rise%2Frun=1%2F3


which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 3. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 3



So starting at , go up 1 unit


and to the right 3 units to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=%281%2F3%29x

So this is the graph of y=%281%2F3%29x through the points and

Solved by pluggable solver: Fractions Solver


3%2F4-2%2F9 Start with the given expression




In order to subtract these two fractions, these fractions need to have a common denominator.


In order to do that, we simply find that the LCM of 4 and 9 is 36 (note: if you need help with finding the LCM, check out this solver)


Now we need to get each denominator to 36



%289%2F9%29%283%2F4%29-2%2F9 Multiply 3%2F4 by %289%2F9%29


27%2F36-2%2F9 Multiply 3%2F4 and %289%2F9%29 to get 27%2F36



27%2F36-%284%2F4%29%282%2F9%29 Multiply 2%2F9 by %284%2F4%29


27%2F36-8%2F36 Multiply 2%2F9 and %284%2F4%29 to get 8%2F36



Since both fractions have a common denominator of 36, we can now combine the fractions


%2827-8%29%2F36 Combine the fractions


19%2F36 Subtract the numerators



So

3%2F4-2%2F9=19%2F36

Or simply remember that 360 degrees = 2pi radians. So 2pi-5pi%2F3=6pi%2F3-5pi%2F3=%286pi-5pi%29%2F3=pi%2F3 (which is 60 degrees). Either way, you get the same answer. So good job.
