Three baseball players are playing catch. Jessica is directly south of Aaron and directly west of Mike. Jessica and Mike are 8 meters apart and Mike and Aaron are 10 meters apart, How far apart are Jessica and Aaron?

6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagrammatic illustration of the problem. Is attached

The diaabcw between Aaron and Jessica can be obtained using Pythagoras :

d = √(10² - 8²)

d = √100 - 64

d = √36

d = 6

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
