Answer:  

The smallest value of p+q is 11

It happens when p = 6 and q = 5.

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

Explanation:

Let's factor 180 in such a way that exactly one factor is a perfect square.

I'll ignore the trivial factor of 1.

Here are the possible factorizations we could go with:

180 = 4*45

180 = 9*20

180 = 36*5

Those factorizations then lead to the following

\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{4*45} = \sqrt{4}*\sqrt{45}= 2\sqrt{45}\\\\\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{9*20} = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{20}= 3\sqrt{20}\\\\\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{36*5} = \sqrt{36}*\sqrt{5}= 6\sqrt{5}\\\\

Then we have

p+q = 2+45 = 47

p+q = 3+20 = 23

p+q = 6+5 = 11

The smallest value of p+q is 11 and it happens when p = 6 and q = 5.

Side note: p+q is smallest when we go with the largest perfect square factor.

I put all the steps down. I don't know which one you want. I hope you understand it now.

Step-by-step explanation:

b = baking time

p = preperation time

p = 1/3b

12 = 1/3b

b = 12*3

b = 36 minutes

The center of a circle is (0, -8). The radius is 9. What is the equation of the circle? Select all that apply.
taurus [48]

Answer:

x² + (y + 8)² = 81

Step-by-step explanation:

Centre (h,k) = (0,-8)

radius (r) = 9

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

(x - 0)² + (y + 8)² = 9²

x² + (y + 8)² = 81
