The correct option is A which is Yixing should clean out the kennels, and Olivia should move the food bags.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.

All the parts will be solved below:-

a. Olivia has an absolute advantage as she takes less time for completing both the tasks

b. Olivia's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel is

= 6 ÷ 6

= 1 bag of food moved.

c. Olivia's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food is

= 6 ÷ 6

= 1 kennel cleaned

d. Yixing's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel is

= 10 ÷ 12

= 0.83 bags of food moved.

e. Yixing's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food is

= 12 ÷ 10

= 1.2 kennels cleaned

f. From the above calculations, we can see that the opportunity cost of kennel cleaning would be less sin Yixing so here Yixing should have a comparative advantage and Olivia should have moved the food bags

The complete question is given below:-

Olivia and Yixing are volunteering at a cat rescue shelter. The shelter supervisor asks them to clean out kennels and haul bags of cat food from the donation area into storage. It takes Olivia 6 minutes to clean out a kennel and 6 minutes to move a bag of food. It takes Yixing 10 minutes to clean out a kennel and 12 minutes to move a bag of food.

The equation for a circle is ​x^2 − 8x + y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square

Given

x² - 8x + y² - 2y - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

x² - 8x + y² - 2y = 8

add ( half the coefficient of the x/y terms )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 + y² + 2(- 1)y + 1 = 8 + 16 + 1

(x - 4)² + (y - 1)² = 25 → B
