Response:  A 21 cm candle burns for 12 hours.

Detailed explanation:

Equation illustrating the proportional relationship between two variables x and y

: \dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}

Referring to the circumstances presented:

Let x_1=14\ cm,\ y_1=8\ hours,\ x_21\ cm,\ y_2=y

After substituting these values into the equation, we find

\dfrac{14}{8}=\dfrac{21}{y}\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{21\times8}{14}=12\ hours

Consequently,the 21 cm candle burns for 12 hours.

If A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4) form two line segments, and , which condition needs to be met to prove ?
Zina [12379]
The answer
the full question is
If A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4) create two line segments, and AB ⊥ CD, what condition must be satisfied to establish that AB ⊥ CD?

Let A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) represent the first line, while C(x3, y3) and D(x4, y4) represent the second line.

The slope for the first line is given by m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
For the second line, the slope is m' = (y4 - y3) / (x4 - x3).

The necessary condition to demonstrate that AB ⊥ CD is

                           
                    (y2 - y1) * (y4 - y3)
m × m' =  ---------  ×  ------------ = -1
                    (x2 - x1)    (y4 - y3)

Town Hall is located 4.3 miles directly east of the middle school. The fire station is located 1.7 miles directly north of Town
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

2.1 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached illustration (you need to include all the mentioned locations and the distances between them),

enabling us to create a right triangle between the school and the hospital with side measures of: 1.7 and 1.2 miles

and the green line represents the direct path from the school to the hospital; thus, applying the Pythagorean theorem will yield the result:

\sqrt{1.7^2+1.2^2}\\=\sqrt{2.89+1.44}\\=\sqrt{4.33} \\ =2.081

When rounded to the nearest tenth:

2.1 miles

Explain how you can determine the number of real number solutions of a system of equations in which one equation is linear and t
babunello [11817]

Answer:

To find the number of genuine solutions for a system of equations consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation

1) With two variables, say x and y, rearrange the linear equation to express y, then substitute this y in the quadratic equation

After that, simplify the resulting equation and determine the number of real roots utilizing the quadratic formula, x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a} for equations of the type 0 = a·x² - b·x + c.

When b² exceeds 4·a·c, two real solutions emerge; if b² equals 4·a·c, there will be a single solution.
