Profit (P) is calculated by subtracting the total cost (C) from the total revenue (R). The calculations are shown below, 

       R = (1440 dozens) x (12 pieces / 1 dozen) x (25 cents/ piece) = $4320
                   C = (1440 dozens) x ($2.50 / dozen) = $3600
 
                          Profit = R - C = $4320 - $3600 = $720

Thus, the businessman's profit is $720.

Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with center (-5,-7) that passes through the point (7,5).
shutvik [7]

Answer:

(x + 5)² + (y + 7)² = 288

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

The radius is the distance from the centre (- 5, - 7) to the point on the circle (7, 5)

Use the distance formula to calculate r

r = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (7, 5)

r = \sqrt{(7+5)^2+(5+7)^2} = \sqrt{12^2+12^2} = \sqrt{288}

Hence

(x - (- 5))² + (y - (- 7))² = (\sqrt{288})², that is

(x + 5)² + (y + 7)² = 288

Simplify the following expression 2x-4t+7y-16
lawyer [7]
OK so to solve this we will subtract 16x from 2x to get -14x
-14x - 4y + 3x^2 + 7y
add - 4y and 7y to get 3y
-14x + 3x^2 +3y
and then to simplify we are going to move the -14x
3x^2 +3y - 14x
