Question

PLEASE HELP! I WILL FAN (if not already) AND MEDAL THE BEST ANSWER!
Which statement is true about the distance formula, , when describing the distance along a line segment?


It is not a precise definition because it uses variables to represent unknown values.

It is not a precise definition because it uses a square root sign, which means the result might be an irrational number.

It is not a precise definition because it is based on an understanding of point, which is an undefined term.

It is not a precise definition because it is based on an understanding of coordinates, which are defined based on the distance of a line segment.

Answer 1

hint:
the coordinates of a point does \(not\) depend on the distance function

Answer 2

D?

Answer 3

option D is false

Answer 4

B? if not then its A.

Answer 5

I think that maybe it is option C, since, generally the concept of \(point\) relies on the basic intuition of each of us

Answer 6

okay thanks

Answer 7

:)

Answer 8

Wait I Just realized that the picture didn't load on here :/ @Michele_Laino

Answer 9

it is the formula which expresses the distance between two given points:
\((x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)\)

Answer 10

So its A?

Answer 11

geometrically a point, could be defined like as \(dimensionless\) object, whereas algebraically speaking we can define it by means of an ordered pair of real numbers, namley its coordinates \((x,y)\)

Answer 12

I think that option A is false, since the correctness of a definition lies in its logic, and not in its needed variables

Answer 13

Okay thank you.

Answer 14

:)

Answer 15

D is the best answer.
