please help meeeee !!!! medal and fan <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the distance formula\[d =\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u sure that is the right formula to use ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x,1, y1 = -2, -4 and X2, y2 = 4, 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats so with that logic i was right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[d= \sqrt{4-(-2)^2+(3-(-4)^2)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[d= \sqrt{4-(4) + (3-16)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[d= \sqrt{0 -13}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This ends up as a complex number d= 13i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you studied complex numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

naw lol i just really cant get this question wrong :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe I have made a mistake, its not in your four options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but those are the only options i have it has to be there :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one second I will get someone else to look over my results, but I have doubled checked it, and there are no mistakes. @Thesmartone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Thesmarterone need you to check my results

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hes offfline

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Black_ninja123 @triciaal

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

One sec let me check

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

B is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does B is correct mean?

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

B is the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solution please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea can u prove it ?

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

\[d=(A.B)=\sqrt{x2-x1^{2}+y2-y1^{2}}\] This is the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait @HelpOfTheGods

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yea i seen that formula in my lesson so im thinking thats prob right since i have 0 clue lol

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

\[\sqrt{-2 - 4^{2}+-4-3^{2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Black_ninja123 chose the points in reverse

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

\[\sqrt{36+49}\]

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

\[\sqrt{85}\]

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

Square root of 85 is 9.22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was anything I did @Black_ninja123 incorrect?

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

you said -2^2 is 4 but its actually -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you joking me? -2 x -2 = 4 not -4!

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

Use the calculator and its gonna tell you -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I appreciate your help on this one @Black_ninja123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I entered (-2)x (-2) and it still gives me +4

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

enter -2^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still +4

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can change the rules of arithmetic for integers if you like
