Scott wants to buy fencing to place around a semicircular rock garden The diameter of the semicircle is 16 feet Using 3.14 for p

i he calculates that he needs to buy abut 25.12 feet of fencing. The fencing is sold by the foot, so he plans to buy 26 feet of fencing. Explain why Scott's reasoning is incorrect and find the correct amount of fencing he should buy

The diameter of the semicircle is 16 feet.

He calculates that he needs to buy abut 25.12 feet of fencing.

To find amount of fencing we find the circumference of semicircle

Circumference of semicircle = \frac{1}{2}\pi d+d

Where d is the diameter of the circle

d= 16 given and value of pi is 3.14

Circumference of semicircle = \frac{1}{2}*3.14*16+16

=25.12 + 16 = 41.12 feet

Scott's calculation was wrong because he forgot to add the diameter d

Circumference of circle  is half way of circle plus the diameter of circle.

Correct amount of fencing = 41.12 feet

Answer:

Circle B:

(x+4)^2+(y+3)^2=4

Circle F:

(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2=16

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a circle equation with center on (h,k) and radius r as:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Then, we analyze the circle will have for the circle B:

- It has a center in x=-4 and y=-3.

- It radius can be calculated from the distance from the center (x,y)=(-4,-3) to one of its points (x,y)=(-4, -1). Then, its radius is r=2.

Then, we can write the equation as:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\\\h=-4\\k=-3\\r=2\\\\(x+4)^2+(y+3)^2=4

we analyze the circle will have for the circle F:

- It has a center in x=4 and y=1.

- It radius can be calculated from the distance from the center (x,y)=(4, 1) to one of its points (x,y)=(0, 1). Then, its radius is r=4.

Then, we can write the equation as:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\\\h=4\\k=1\\r=4\\\\(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2=16

A city has a population of 220,000 people. Suppose that each year the population grows by 7.25%. What will the population be aft
Archy [21]

Answer:

427,350

Step-by-step explanation:

so you do 7.25×13=94.25

and then you do 94.25%×220,000=207,350

So you can now do 207,250+220,000 (which) =427,350

Given the set points K+1:(-1,8),(1,0) and (2,5), find the quadratic polynomial interpolate
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The interpolating polynomial is p(x) = 1-4x+3x^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find a quadratic polynomial p(x) such that p(-1)=8, p(1)=0 and p(2)=5. In order to do this let us write p(x) = a_0+a_1x+a_3x^2.

Now, evaluating the polynomial in the points -1, 1 and 2 we get

\begin{cases} 8 = p(-1) &= a_0-a_1+a_2\\ 0 = p(1) &= a_0+a_1+a_2\\ 5 = p(2) &= a_0+2a_1+4a_2\end{cases}

This relations give us a linear system of equations:

\begin{cases} 8 &= a_0-a_1+a_2\\ 0 &= a_0+a_1+a_2\\ 5&= a_0+2a_1+4a_2\end{cases}

where the a_0, a_1 and a_2 are the unknowns.

The augmented matrix of the system is

\begin{pmatrix}1 & -1 & 1 & 8\\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 0\\ 1 & 2 & 4 & 5\end{pmatrix}

In this matrix it is easy to eliminate the 1's of the first column and get

\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 & 8\\ 0 & 2 & 0 & -8\\ 0 & 3 & 3 & -3\end{pmatrix}

From this matrix we can find the values of each unknown. Notice that the second row gives us 2a_2=-8 that yields a_1=-4.

Then, the third row means 3a_1+3a_2=-3 that gives -12+3a_2=-3. So, a_2=3.

Finally, the first row is a_0-a_1+a_2=8 and substituting is a_0+7=8 that yields a_0=1.

Therefore, the interpolating polynomial is

p(x) = 1-4x+3x^2.
