Answer:
(p, q) = (8, 82)
Step-by-step explanation:
When a circle is centered at the origin, the radius to point (a, b) will have slope m = b/a. The tangent is perpendicular to the radius, so the tangent at point (a, b) will have slope -a/b. In point-slope form, the equation of the tangent line will be ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . point-slope equation of line with slope m through (h, k)
y -b = (-a/b)(x -a)
Rearranging this to standard form, we have ...
b(y -b) = -a(x -a)
by -b² = -ax +a²
ax +by = a² +b²
__
For (a, b) = (5, 4), the standard form equation of the tangent can be written ...
5x +4y = 5² +4² = 41
Your given equation has an x-coefficient that is twice the value shown in this equation, so we need to multiply this equation by 2:
2(5x +4y) = 2(41)
10x +8y = 82
Comparing to 10x +py = q, we see that ...
p = 8
q = 82
The conversion formula is f = (9/5) c + 32 [ The 95c is very confusing!]
(9/5)c = f - 32
Multiply both sides by 5/9:-
c = (5/9) ( f - 32)
That's option a).
Ok, so if he walks 4 miles per 64 minutes, or 4 miles/64 min which will
reduce to 1 mile/ 16 min, then the numbers of miles he walks in a given
number of minutes would be
1/16 * number of minutes
The question states we represent miles with y and number of minutes with x, so...
y = 1/16x
So let's check it...
How many miles (y) in 64 minutes (x)
y = 1/16x
y = 1/16 * 64
y = 64/16 = 4 miles
Yep! It checks!
The reduction expressed as a fraction of the original price is
80.00/249.99 ≈ 0.3200128 = 32.00128/100 = 32.00128%
The reduction in price was about 32%.
