What is an equation of a circle whose center is at (2, -4) and is tangent to the line x = -2
n200080 [17]

Answer:

(x-2)^{2} +(y+4)^{2} = \frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the center of the circle is: (2, -4)

tangent to the line x = -2

The equation of a circle has the following formula:

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

The distance between the circle and the tangent line is:

d = \frac{2*1 + 2}{\sqrt{2^{2}+4^{2}}   } = 2\frac{\sqrt{5} }{5}

d = r so d^{2} =r^{2} = (2\frac{\sqrt{5} }{5})^{2} = \frac{4}{5}

the equation of the circle is:

(x-2)^{2} +(y+4)^{2} = \frac{4}{5}

Suppose the number of gallons of gasoline per day used by a car is normally distributed with a mean of 2.2 gallons and a standar
Inga [223]
The z-score counts the number of standard deviations from the mean. Then the meaning in gallons of a difference in z-score is found by multiplying the z-score difference by the value of a standard deviation.

(3 -0)*1.2 = 3.6 . . . . gallons.

The 3rd selection is appropriate.
