Jerry lives in a city where all the roads are organized into square blocks and the roads either run North/South or East/West (forming a big square grid). Jerry goes out walking one day. He starts by walking 3 blocks North and then 4 blocks East. Jerry next walks 2 blocks South and 1 block West, when he realizes it is getting late and he must get home quickly. If Jerry walks on the roads home using as few blocks as possible, how many blocks will it take?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

it will take Jerry 4 blocks to get home. 3 blocks West and 1 block South

Step-by-step explanation:

We use our vector notation to describe the problem. Since Jerry walks 3 blocks North, he moves in the direction 3j. He then walks 4 blocks East in the direction 4i. He walks 2 blocks South in the direction -2j and 1 block West in the direction -i.

So, his position vector r = 3j + 4i - 2j - i = 4i - i + 3j - 2j = 3i + j.

Now if we assume his home was at the origin, then his initial position r₀ = 0i + 0j

Since he is supposed to return home from his current position, his displacement is final position - initial position = r₀ - r = 0i + 0j -(3i + j) = 0i - 3i + 0i - i = -3i - j

Since -i means movement in the West direction, -3i means movement 3 blocks West.

Since -j means movement in the Southern direction, -j means movement 1 blocks South.

So, it will take Jerry 1 + 3 blocks = 4 blocks to get home. 3 blocks West and 1 block South

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Since both triangles are similar, then;

AB/DB = BC/EF

11/54 = 17/EF

Cross multiply

11EF = 17 * 54

11EF = 918

EF = 918/11

EF = 83.5

Hence the length of EF to the nearest tenth is 83.5units

Answers

Given:

In parallelogram PQRS, [tex]m\angle Q=(20+2x)^\circ,\ m\angle R=6x^\circ[/tex].

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

In a parallelogram, the consecutive interior angles are supplementary angles.

In parallelogram PQRS,

[tex]m\angle Q+m\angle R=180^\circ[/tex]            (Supplementary angles)

[tex](20+2x)^\circ+(6x)^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex](20+8x)^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]20+8x=180[/tex]

Subtracting 20 from both sides, we get

[tex]8x=180-20[/tex]

[tex]8x=160[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8.

[tex]\dfrac{8x}{8}=\dfrac{160}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x=20[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is C.

The equation |x-3| = 4 has what solutions?

Answers

Answer:

x-3=4

x=4+3

X=7

or

x-3=-4

x=-4+3

x=-1

-1 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Any equation within the | | notation is an absolute value, where the the value of the equation can only be positive.

So within the notation, we have two possibilities to the solution, a positive and negative value.

In other words, |4| = 4 and |-4| = 4

Hence, we only need to substitute x with an appropriate integer to satisfy the answer.

|x - 3| = 4

substitute x = 7

|7 - 3| = 4

|4| = 4

substitute x = -1

|-1 - 3| = 4

|-4| = 4

Therefore the solutions to x is x = 7 and x = -1.

Answers

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

you know that (a+b+c)/d is the same as a/d + b/d + c/d.

and (a×b)/(c×d) is the same as (a/c)×(b/d).

and the powers of variables subtract when the variables are divided, and the powers add when the variables are multiplied.

14a⁸y³ / 7a⁴y

14/7 = 2

a⁸/a⁴ = a⁴

y³/y = y²

=> 2a⁴y² is the first part. that eliminates already all other answer options. only B can be right.

but let's practice and look at the second part :

-7a⁴y⁵ / 7a⁴y

-7/7 = -1

a⁴/a⁴ = 1

y⁵/y = y⁴

=> -y⁴ is the second part. B is still confirmed.

the third part :

28a¹²y² / 7a⁴y

28/7 = 4

a¹²/a⁴ = a⁸

y²/y = y

=> + 4a⁸y is the third part. B confirmed.

John is buying new shoes. He finds the shoes he wants on sale for 30%, and the original price is $88. How much will he pay for the shoes?

Answers

Answer:

61.6 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

So, lets go over what we know:

The shows orginally cost 88 dollars.

They are 30% less than that.

This basically means that the shoes will cost 70 percent of their orginal price.

We can basically find the new cost by multiplying the 88 dollars by the 70 percent.

Or, multiplying 88 by 0.7, which is the decimal form of 70%.

88*0.7=61.6

How did I get this?

Multiply 80 by 0.7:

7*8=56

We have 0.7 so it = 5.6

However, it's tens place is 80, not 8, so it will be = 56

It is the same thing in the ones place, however it is 8 not 80, so it will be 0.7*8

= 5.6

56+5.6=61.6

So 61.6 is our answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$61.60

Step-by-step explanation:

the other answer is correct.

just to add some explanation about the % considerations.

we know $88 is 100%

in order to get any other % value, we need to divide the original value by 100 (that gives us 1%), and then multiply with the number of % we want to have - in our example 70, as the discount is 30% (so the remaining part is 70% of the original price).

so, in order to get 70% we actually have to do the above things and divide by 100 and multiply by 70.

70% = (100% / 100) × 70 = 100% × 70 / 100

70 / 100 = 0.7 (that is how answer 1 actually got that multiplication factor)

70% = 100% × 0.7

70% = $88 × 0.7 = $61.60

$1.75
$17.50
$7.25

Answers

Answer:  B) $1.75

===================================================

Explanation:

To get the unit cost, we divide the total cost over the number of pounds.

We can do this for any row

row one: ($17.50)/(10) = $1.75row two: ($35.00)/(20) = $1.75row three: ($52.50)/(30) = $1.75row four: ($70.00)/(40) = $1.75

You don't need to show all four row calculations. You can simply pick one row.

This tells us that each pound costs $1.75

Put another way: the price is $1.75 per pound

Simplifying

3x + 6 = 9x + -24

Reorder the terms:

6 + 3x = 9x + -24

Reorder the terms:

6 + 3x = -24 + 9x

Solving

6 + 3x = -24 + 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

6 + 3x + -9x = -24 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 3x + -9x = -6x

6 + -6x = -24 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

6 + -6x = -24 + 0

6 + -6x = -24

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + -6x = -24 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + -6x = -24 + -6

-6x = -24 + -6

Combine like terms: -24 + -6 = -30

-6x = -30

Divide each side by '-6'.
