Find the center and radius of a circle if the segment between the points (-2, 10) and (-14, -6) is a diameter.

The center can be found using the midpoint formula: M=[(x1+x2)/2], [(y1+y2)/2]. For us, that looks like this: M = [(-2-14)/2], [(10-6)/2] which gives us M = (-8, 2). Now you have your center. To find the radius, use that midpoint (or center) and an endpoint to find out the distance between them (use the distance formula for that). The distance between those 2 coordinates is 10. So your center is (-8,2) and your radius is 10

How do i solve x/3+1=3

OlgaM077 [116]

$\frac{x}{3}$ + 1 = 3

First, multiply both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x + 3 = 9.
Second, subtract 3 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: x = 9 - 3.
Third, simplify 9 - 3 to 6. / Your problem should look like: x = 6, which is your answer.

The diameter of a volleyball is 8.15 inches. What is the volume of the ball, rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Nana76 [90]

So we want to know the volume V of the volleyball if we know the diameter d=8.15 inches and we need to round it to the nearest hundreth. The volume of a volleyball is V=(4/3)r^3*pi, and since 2 radius are equal to the diameter we need to get the radius, so 2r=D and r=D/2 or r=4.075 inches. Now we get the volume after inputting the numbers: V=283.303032 inches^3. Rounded to the nearest hundreth: V=283.30

Clark borrow $16,000 to buy a car. He pays simple interest at an annual rate of 6% over a period of 3.5 years. How much does he

Paha777 [63]

The equation for annual interest is A = P(1 + r)^t. We can plug in the known information and get A = 16,000(1 + (0.06))^3.5. Next, we can simplify this equation to A = 16,000(1.06)^3.5. Finally, we raise 1.06 to the power of 3.5 and multiply that by 16,000 and get an answer of $19,619.62.
