What is the distance between (0,0) and (2m, m^2-1)?<br /><br />(0,0) and (2m, m^2-1) subtracting zeroes is inconsequential. SQRT(2m + m^2 - 1) SQRT(m^2 +2m - 1) If this quadratic had rational roots, it would clean up better. But as it is, it is done.

In my book the instructions are to "solve the inequality." In the back of the book the answer is "(-∞, -0.37) U (1.37, ∞)". Can somebody tell me how to reach that answer? I think it is called interval notation.<br /><br />There is no rational root. Quadratic formula says the roots are 91 +/- sqrt(6)) / 2, which rounds to 1.37 and -0.37. If this were an equation, these two values would be the final answer. But this is an inequality. The solution set is all numbers that make this greater than zero. If you...

They must be renamed so they have a common denominator. For 4 and 5, that is 20. 2/5 = 8/20 and 2/4 = 10/20 The new problem is 8/20 + 10/20, which is 18/20. This should be reduced to 9/10.

Rewrite your problem as 11/3 X 72/5. But the 72 and 3 can be reduced to 24 and 1, so your reduced problem is 11/1 X 24/5, which is 264/5. Returning that to a mixed fraction gives 52 4/5.

One foot is 12 inches (too small). Two feet is 24 inches (too small). Three feet is 36 inches (too big). Subtract two feet (24 inches) from 33 inches to get 9 inches. You have 2 feet, 9 inches.

How many "falshoods" have to be found in order to prove a theorem to be false?<br /><br />When you do the first step, you evaluate the statement with something easy, like 1 or 0. When that is true, you can move on to the next step. If that is not true (falsehood), you can stop right there, because the whole theorem is false. So my answer is 1.
