Answer:

A)

Step-by-step explanation:

 Since we are given the function, we can simply plug in the x as 9. So we get 50(0.952)9. Solving this, we get 450(.952) and this is about 428. SO our answer is a) about 428 feral cats.

Answer: (a) 314.2cm², (b) 157.1cm², (c) 78.55cm² (e) 6.77

Step-by-step explanation: (a)  Area of the circle with radius of 10 cm = πr²

                                                                          = 3.142 × 10 × 10

                                                                          = 3.142 × 100

                                                                          = 314.2cm²

The formula                                                       = πr²

(b)  Area of the half of a circle known as semicircle

                                                                         = πr²/2

                                                                         = 3.142 ×10 × 10/2

                                                                         = 3.142 × 50

                                                                         = 157.1cm²

The formula                                                      = πr²/2

(c)  A quarter of a circle is called quadrant

                                                            = πr²/4

                                                            = 3.142 × 10 × 10/4

                                                            = 314.2/4

                                                            = 78.55cm²

The formula is written thus = πr²/4, which implies that the circle is divided into 4 unit

(d) The conjecture about how to determine the area of the sector is

Formula of a sector = ∅/360(πr²)

<u>Information</u>

The arc  cant be 60°, therefore information incomplete.

(e) Area of the sector with the angle AOB of 60° = 24.

To find the radius of the angle, make v the subject of the formula from the formula.

Sector area = πr²∅/360°

equate formula to 24.

Therefore πr²∅/360° = 24

Multiply through by360° to make it a linear expression

It now becomes πr²∅ =24× 360°

                                                     r² = 24  x 360/π × ∅°

                                                     r² = 24 × 360° /3.142 × 60°

                                                     r² = 3,640/188.52

                                                     r² = 45.8

To find r , we take the square root of both side by applying laws of indicies

                                    Therefore r = √45 .8

                                                      r = 6.77

(f)   General formula = ∅°/360° × (πr²)

angle substended at centre by the arc = x°

assuming the radius of the circle = ycm, Therefore,  area of the sector = { ∅°/360° × πy² }

PLEASE HELP!! Factor. 4x^2−49y^2
Zanzabum

Answer:

(2x-7y) (2x+7y)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2−49y^2

This is the difference of squares

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b) (a+b)

a^2 =4x^2   so a = 2x

b^2 = 49y^2  so b =7y

4x^2−49y^2 = (2x-7y) (2x+7y)

BRAINLIEST!!!<br> 12. Determine whether each pair of functions are inverse functions.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The answer is 2nd point

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, inverse of f(x) is equals to g(x). First, you must know how to find the inverse of f(x). In order to find the g(x), you must let f(x) = y and make x thd subject :

1.

Let y = (10x+9)/8

y = (10x+9)/8

8y = 10x + 9

8y - 9 = 10x

(8y-9)/10 = x

x = (8y-9)/10

g(x) = (8x-9)/10 (Remember to convert y back to x)

2.

Let y = x - 9

y = x - 9

y + 9 = x

x = y + 9

g(x) = x + 3

Next, by looking in no.1, the inverse of f(x) is wrong and in no.2, it shows the correct form of inverse. So only 2 is an inverse function
