Answer:

D. ¾ πr²

Step-by-step explanation:

If r is the radius of the sphere, and R is the radius of circular cross section, then:

r² = (½ r)² + R²

r² = ¼ r² + R²

¾ r² = R²

So the area of the circular cross section is:

A = πR²

A = ¾ πr²

Which represents the solution(s) of the graphed system of equations, y = x2 – 2x and y = –2x – 1? (1, –1) (0, 0) and (0, –1) (0,

olganol [36]

ANSWER

No solution

EXPLANATION

The first equation is

$y = {x}^{2} - 2x$

and the second equation is

$y = - 2x - 1$

We equate the two equations to obtain;

${x}^{2} - 2x = - 2x - 1$

This implies that

${x}^{2} = - 2x + 2x - 1$

${x}^{2} = - 1$

There is no real number whose square is -1.

Therefore, the equation has no solution.
