Answer:

$x^2+3x+5$ miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Joy is training for a triathlon. She runs a distance of $2x$ miles, cycles a distance of $(x^2+7)$ miles, and swims a distance of $(x-2)$ miles. We are asked to find total distance covered by Joy.

$\text{Total distance}=\text{Distance covered by running}+\text{Distance covered by cycling}+\text{Distance covered by swimming}$

$\text{Total distance}=(2x)+(x^2+7)+(x-2)$

$\text{Total distance}=2x+x^2+7+x-2$

$\text{Total distance}=x^2+2x+x+7-2$

$\text{Total distance}=x^2+3x+5$

Therefore, Joy covered a total distance of $x^2+3x+5$ miles.

R (-3,1) and S (-1,3) are points on a circle. If RS is a diameter, find the equation of the circle.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

$\sf (x+2)^2+(y-2)^2=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

If RS is the diameter of the circle, then the midpoint of RS will be the center of the circle.

$\sf midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_s-x_r}{2}+x_r,\dfrac{y_s-y_r}{2}+y_r \right)$

$\sf =\left(\dfrac{-1-(-3)}{2}+(-3),\dfrac{3-1}{2}+1 \right)$

$\sf =(-2, 2)$

Equation of a circle: $\sf (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

(where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius)

Substituting found center (-2, 2) into the equation of a circle:

$\sf \implies (x-(-2))^2+(y-2)^2=r^2$

$\sf \implies (x+2)^2+(y-2)^2=r^2$

To find $\sf r^2$ , simply substitute one of the points into the equation and solve:

$\sf \implies (-3+2)^2+(1-2)^2=r^2$

$\sf \implies 1+1=r^2$

$\sf \implies r^2=2$

Therefore, the equation of the circle is:

$\sf (x+2)^2+(y-2)^2=2$

Evaluate<br> 5! 4!<br> ____<br> 7! 2!<br> Simple as much as possible

shepuryov [24]

The value of the factorial is 5!4!/7!2! = 2/7

<h3>What is factorial?</h3>

The product of all positive integers less than or equal to a given positive integer and denoted by that integer and an exclamation point.

Given:

5!4!/7!2!

= 5!* 4*3*2!/7*6*5!*2!

=4*3/7*6

=12/42

=4/14

=2/7

Hence, 5!4!/7!2! = 2/7.

If a spinner for a game is spun once, there is a 25% chance it will land on

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$Pr = 0.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$O \to Orange$

So:

$P(O) = 25\%$ --- probability of O

$n=2$ --- Number of spin

Using the complement rule, the probability that a spin will not land on orange is:

$P(O') = 1 - P(O)$

$P(O') = 1 - 25\%$

Express as decimal

$P(O') = 1 - 0.25$

$P(O') = 0.75$

On two spins, the probability that it will not land on orange is:

$Pr = P(O') * P(O')$

So, we have:

$Pr = 0.75* 0.75$

$Pr = 0.5625$

<em></em> $Pr = 0.6$ <em> --- approximated</em>

A weight hangs from a spring attached to a ceiling, and the weight moves up and down. The table shows the distance in centimeter

sasho [114]

It seemed like it should have been so simple. There was nothing inherently difficult with getting the project done. It was simple and straightforward enough that even a child should have been able to complete it on time, but that wasn't the case. The deadline had arrived and the project remained unfinished.
