The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five. Which equation represents the sentence?

The "product" of two numbers means you multiply them.

So, you are multiplying (8-n), where n = "a number," by 7.

Then, when you decrease (subtract) this product by 5, you get 40.

So the whole thing looks like

7(8-n) - 5 = 40.

If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (−8, −6) and (−4, −14), what is the standard form equation of the circle?

kondaur [170]

Equation of the circle is $(x+6)^{2}+(y+10)^{2}=20$ .

Solution:

The endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (–8, –6) and (–4, –14).

Center of the circle = Mid point of the diameter

Mid point formula:

$$P(x, y)=\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)$

Here, $x_1=-8, y_1=-6, x_2=-4, y_2=-14$

$$P(x, y) =\left(\frac{-8-4}{2}, \frac{-6-14}{2}\right)$

$$P(x, y) =\left(\frac{-12}{2}, \frac{-20}{2}\right)$

$$P(x, y) =(-6, -10)$

Center of the circle = (–6, –10)

Radius is the distance between center and any endpoint of the diameter.

To calculate the radius using distance formula.

$r=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Here, $x_1=-6, y_1=-10, x_2=-8, y_2=-6$

$r=\sqrt{\left(-8-(-6)\right)^{2}+\left(-6-(-10)}\right)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{(-8+6)^{2}+(-6+10)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{20}$ units

The standard form of the equation of a circle is

$(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}=r^{2}$ , where (a, b) are center and r is the radius.

Here, center = (–6, –10) and $r=\sqrt{20}$

$(x-(-6))^{2}+(y-(-10))^{2}={(\sqrt{20})} ^{2}$

$(x+6)^{2}+(y+10)^{2}=20$

Equation of the circle is $(x+6)^{2}+(y+10)^{2}=20$ .
