One of the parking lot lights at a hospital has a motion detector on it, and the equation (x+10)2+(y−8)2=16 describes the bounda

ry within which motion can be sensed.
What is the greatest distance, in feet, a person could be from the parking lot light and be detected?

We are given an equation:
(x+10)^{2} +  (y-8)^{2} = 16

This is an equation of a circle. General form of a circle equation is:
(x-a)^{2} + (y-b)^{2} = r^{2}
Where:
a = x coordinate of a center
b = y coordinate of a center
r = radius of a circle

Motion detector can detect person anywhere within a boundary. The greatest distance at which detector can detect is at the edge of a circle. That distance, between detector and edge of circle, is equal to radius.

From the equation we have:
r^{2} =16  \\ r=4
The greatest distance at which person can be detected is 4ft.

Yes the correct answer is 4ft
because the radius of that circle is  4 
(x+10)^2+(y−8)^2=4^2

How does the value of the 5 in 524.2 differ from the value of the 5 in 254.6??
mina [271]
In 524.2, 5 is in the hundreds place, so it stands for 500. In 254.6, 5 is in the tens place, so it stands for 50. You know what place it is in by how far to the left or right it is from the decimal point.

B) The time, T (in minutes) taken for a stadium to empty varies directly as the number of spectators, S. And inversely as the nu
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the time (T) varies directly as the number of spectators (S) and varies inversely as number of open exits (E).

Hence:

T ∝ S; T ∝ 1 / E

Let k be the constant of proportionality. This gives:

T = kS / E

when T = 12 minutes, S = 20000, E = 20. Hence:

12 = k(20000) / 20

20000k = 240

k = 12 / 1000

This gives:

T = \frac{12}{1000}(\frac{S}{E} )

When  S = 36000, E = 24, we are to calculate the time (T):

T=\frac{12}{1000} (\frac{36000}{24} )=18\\

T = 18 minutes
