Answer:

  (C)  2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations 2a + 7b+2c=16 and 2a + 3b +2c= 8, you want to know the value of b.

<h3>Solution</h3>

The coefficients of 'a' and 'c' are the same in the two equations, so we can eliminate those variables by subtracting one equation from the other. We can keep the resulting coefficient of 'b' positive if we subtract the second equation from the first.

  (2a +7b +2c) -(2a +3b +2c) = (16) -(8)

  4b = 8 . . . . . . . simplify

  b = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 4

Write the standard equation of the circle with the given center is (0,0) and radius is 2.5
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

x² + y² = 6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is ( x – h)² + ( y - k)² = r² where the center is (h, k) and r is the radius.

From your given information that the center is (0, 0) then both h and k are 0. Then r is 2.5, so

( x – 0)² + ( y - 0)² = (2.5)²

x² + y² = (2.5)²

x² + y² = 6.25

Which quadratic regression equation best fits the data set?
charle [14.2K]

The third equation is correct. The easiest way to solve a problem like this is to plug the x-values from the chart into the equations and see which one equals the y-value in the chart.

Every even number,except 2,is composite
Degger [83]
Yes. That's correct. Is that what you're asking...? To clarify, prime numbers have a single factor (one and itself) , composite numbers have multiple factors.
