​Used to find the distance between 2 coordinates. Label your coordinates before starting!

Multiple Choice

How is the distance formula correctly written:

• $$d\ =\ \sqrt{\left(y_{1\ }-\ y_2\right)^2\ -\left(x_{2\ }-\ x_1\right)^2}\$$

• $$d\ =\ \sqrt{\left(x_{2\ }-\ x_1\right)^2\ +\ \left(y_{2_{\ }}-\ y_1\ \right)2}$$

• $$d\ =\ \sqrt{\left(y_{1\ }-\ y\ _2\right)^2\ +\ \left(x_{2\ }-\ x_1\right)}^2$$

• d = $$\sqrt{\left(x\right)^2-\ \left(y\right)^2}$$

​Product Rule: Keep the base, add the exponents

​Quotient Rule: Keep the base, subtract the exponents

​Power Rule: Keep the base, multiply the exponents

​Power to a Fraction Rule: Distribute the power to each power inside the parenthesis.

​Negative Rule: Move the negative exponent and the base attached to the opposite side of the fraction bar. Then change to a positive exponent.

Zero Rule: Anything to the 0 power is 1.
