Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

\frac{8}{x+1} = \frac{-16}{x+4}

=============================================================

Cross multiplying the terms :

⇒ 8 (x + 4) = -16 (x + 1)

⇒ 8x + 32 = -16x - 16

⇒ 24x = -48

⇒ x = -2

One of the parking lot lights at a hospital has a motion detector on it, and the equation (x+10)2+(y−8)2=16 describes the bounda
Pani-rosa [81]
We are given an equation:
(x+10)^{2} +  (y-8)^{2} = 16

This is an equation of a circle. General form of a circle equation is:
(x-a)^{2} + (y-b)^{2} = r^{2}
Where:
a = x coordinate of a center
b = y coordinate of a center
r = radius of a circle

Motion detector can detect person anywhere within a boundary. The greatest distance at which detector can detect is at the edge of a circle. That distance, between detector and edge of circle, is equal to radius.

From the equation we have:
r^{2} =16  \\ r=4
The greatest distance at which person can be detected is 4ft.
