Three baseballs players are playing catch. Jackie is directly south of Katy and directly west of Scott. Jackie and Scott and 8 meters apart and Scott and Katy are 9 meters apart. How far apart are Jackie and Katy? If necessary round to the nearest tenth. Btw i did this using pythagorean theorem i know the answer is either 11.4 or 4.1 would appreciate if you could help

4.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to draw a diagram to make it more clear.

Since you know that Jackie is south of Katy and west of Scott, you will find that the distance between Scott and Katy is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Therefore, you can solve the problem like this:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a^2 = c^2 - b^2

a^2 = 9^2 - 8^2

a = √17

a = 4.1

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
