8. Cory drove 7 miles South on Kings Drive. He then turned East and went another 24 miles down Hwy 66. At this point he turned on a diagonal and took Main Street back home. How far did Cory drive? show work

Cory drove 56 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the present problem, the Pythagorean theorem must be used, as the displacements towards the south and east operate as legs and the diagonal return as hypotenuse, forming a right triangle:

7 ^ 2 + 24 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

49 + 576 = X ^ 2

2√625 = X

25 = X

Thus, since he traveled 7 miles south, 24 miles east, and then 25 miles diagonally toward his house, in total he traveled 56 miles (7 + 24 + 25).

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
