To find perimeter you must do 2l+2w so to find the length you have to plug in 5 2(5)+2l 10+2l =16 -10. -10 2l=6 /2. /2 L=3

-- "Perimeter" means all the way around, all four sides.

-- That's two lengths and two widths.

-- So one length and one width is half of the perimeter.

-- If the perimeter is 16-ft, then one length + one width is 8-ft.

-- If the width is 5-ft, then the length is (8 - 5) = 3-ft.

Y=(1/2)^x +2. What is the horizontal asymptote of this function?

professor190 [17]

$\lim_{x\to -\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x+2=\infty+2=\infty\\
\lim_{x\to \infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x+2=0+2=2\\$

There is one-sided horizontal asymptote $y=2$

Perform the indicated operations; reduce the answer to lowest terms.

a. 9/10

explanation:

• the denominators (bottom number) are the same so there is no need to change to a common factor

• because the fractions have common factors, you add the top numbers (3+6) to get 9

• then you put the top number over the 10 (9/10) and it’s simplified as much as possible

b. 3/4

explanation:

• each denominator (bottom term) is a factor of 12 so you have to change each fraction to #/12

• to change 1/3, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 4 (1x4 & 3x4 = 4/12)

• to change 1/4, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 3 (1x3 & 4x3 = 3/12)

• to change 1/6, you multiple the top and bottom numbers by 2 (1x2 & 6x2 = 2/12)

• then you add each of the top numbers (4+3+2) and put it over the common denominator (12) to get 9/12

- both 9 & 12 are divisible by 3, so you simply by dividing both by 3 to get 3/4

c. 1/3

explanation:

•the denominators are the same, so you subtract 5-3 without changing the denominator & you get 2/6

• then, because both numbers are divisible by 2, you divide both by 2 and get 1/3

Determine the equation of the circle graphed below. ( please help me )

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

$Equation : \\(x+3)^2 + ( y -2)^2 = 36$

Step-by-step explanation:

For standard form the circle's equation we need the centre of the circle and the radius.

Step 1: Find the centre

If the centre is not given find the end points of the diameter

and then find the mid point.

Let the end points of the diameter be : ( - 3 , 8 ) and ( -3 , -4 )

The mid-point of the diameter is :

$Mid-point = (\frac{-3 + - 3}{2}, \frac{-4+8}{2}) = (-3, 2)$

Therefore, centre of the circle = ( -3 , 2 )

Step 2 : Find radius

$Radius = \frac{Diameter }{2}$

Diameter is the distance between the end points ( -3 , 8) and ( -3 , -4 )

That is ,

$Diameter = \sqrt{(-3-(-3))^2 + ( -4 -8)^2}\\$

$= \sqrt{(-3 + 3)^2 + (-12)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{0 + 144}\\\\=12$

Therefore ,

$Radius = \frac{12}{2} = 6$

Step 3 : Equation of the circle

Standard equation of the circle with centre ( h ,k )

and radius ,r is :

$(x - h)^2+(y -k)^2 = r^2$

Therefore, the equation of the circle with centre ( -3, 2)

and radius = 6 is :

$(x - (-3))^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 6^2\\\\(x + 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 36$
