What is the distance between the points (-1,-7) and (-1,4)

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

11

Discussion:

Solution by distance formula:

d = sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

  = sqrt (  (-1 - (-1) )^2 + (4 - (-7))^2 )

  = sqrt (   ( -1 + 1) ^2 + (4+7)^2)

  = sqrt (   0^2           + 11^ 2    )

  = sqrt ( 11^2)

  = 11

Solution by contemplation!

Note the x coordinate of both points is the same (i.e. -1)  This means the line joining the points is vertical and its length is simply the difference of the y coordinates:   4 - (-7) = 4 + 7 = 11

Thank you,

the rocket cannot penetrate the ground, in a contextual sense, therefore the roots of this equation should be the domain of this function. i'll let you find the roots of this quadratic equation (hint: use the quadratic formula:  

1- c

2-a

you could deduce the conclusion directly using the facts pertaining to the specific situation.

hope this .
