Find the distance between (2a+2, 2b) and (2b+2, 2a), given that a>b.

Distance =

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use distance formula shown below to solve this:

Distance Formula:  

Where

x_1 = 2a + 2

y_1 = 2b

x_2 = 2b+2

y_2 = 2a

Substituting, we solve for the expression for distance:

This is the expression in terms of a, and b,  given a > b

step-by-step explanation:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8
