90 points where at least two of the circles intersect.

<h3>Define circle.</h3>

A circle is a closed, two-dimensional object where every point in the plane is equally spaced from a central point. The line of reflection symmetry is formed by all lines that traverse the circle. Additionally, every angle has rotational symmetry around the centre.

Given,

Four distinct circles are drawn in a plane.

Start with two circles; they can only come together in two places. The third circle contacts each of the previous two circles in two spots each, bringing the total number of intersections up to four with the addition of a third circle. The total number of intersections will rise by another 6 when a fourth circle intersects the first three. And the list goes on.

As a result, we get a recognizable, regular pattern: for each additional circle, there are two more intersections overall than in the circle before it.

The total number of intersections can be expressed as the sum because the maximum number of intersections of 10 circles must occur when each circle contacts every other circle in 2 places each.

2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 18 = 90.

90 points where at least two of the circles intersect.

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(−3, 4), B(4, −2), C(8, 3). The triangle translates 2 units up and 1 unit right. Which rule repres

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The translation statement is given by:

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x+1,y+2)$

After the translation, the coordinates of vertex A is (-2,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Vertices of a triangle ABC are:

A(−3, 4), B(4, −2), C(8, 3)

The triangle is translated 2 units up and 1 unit right.

To find the co-ordinates of point A after translation.

Translation rules.

For shift of $c$ units up, the translation is given as:

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x,y+c)$

For shift of $k$ units right, the translation is given as:

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x+k,y)$

So, it says the triangles is translated 2 units up and 1 unit right.

The translation statement is given by:

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x+1,y+2)$

So, co-ordinates of point A after translation is given by :

$(-3,4)\rightarrow (-3+1,4+2)=(-2,6)$

After the translation, the coordinates of vertex A is (-2,6).

Researchers found a linear relationship between tail-feather length (in mm) and weight (in g) in a random sample of 20 male long

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As far as I know, this question is not correct. I have the searched the internet and found a similar question which makes sense. In the correct question, 95% Confidence Interval is already given calculated from the software and

<em>95% prediction interval is asked (PI) for the weight of one male long tailed finch weighing 20 g.</em>

We have this data given in the correct question found on internet. And they have calculated this data using software:

New Obs = 20

Fit = 92.34

SE Fit = 5.26

95% Confidence Interval = (81.29, 103.38)

95% Prediction Interval = (67.61, 117.06)

Now, Just look at the prediction interval:

Now the formula for Prediction Interval = Point Estimate ± Margin of Error

Upper limit for prediction interval = 117.06

lower limit = 67.61

Formula for point estimate = (Upper + Lower)/2
