I need help.. A diameter of a circle has endpoints p(-10, -2) and q(4, 6)

A: The center is the mid point of the diameter. So, the center of the circle will be the midpoint of points P and Q. The coordinates of the midpoint are the averaged coordinates of the endpoints.

So, the x-cooardinate of the center is the average of the x-coordinates of P and Q:

C_x = \dfrac{P_x+Q_x}{2}=\dfrac{-10+4}{2}=\dfrac{-6}{2}=-3

Try to do the same thing with the y coordinates, and you'll get the y-coordinate C_y. This first part will be over, because the circle will be point

C=(C_x,C_y)

B: The radius is exactly half the diameter. So, we find the length of the diameter, and we divide it by 2. To find the length of the diameter, we use the standard formula for the distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(P_x-Q_x)^2+(P_y-Q_y)^2}=\sqrt{(-10-4)^2+(-2-6)^2}=\sqrt{260}=2\sqrt{65}

Divide this length by 2 and you'll get the radius.

C: At this point, we have both the radius and the coordinates of the center. The equation of the circle depends on these two parameters, and it is

(x-C_x)^2+(y-C_y)^2=r^2

Substitute C_x and C_y with the coordinates of the center (found in point A.) and r with the radius (found in point B.) and you'll have the equation of the circle.

Determine, using the intermediate value theorem, if the function F(x)=x^3+2x-1 has a zero on the interval [0,1]. Justify your an
SSSSS [86.1K]

Plug x = 0 into the function

f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1

f(0) = 0^3 + 2(0) - 1

f(0) = -1

Note how the result is negative. The actual number itself doesn't matter. All we care about is the sign of the result.

Repeat for x = 1

f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1

f(1) = 1^3 + 2(1) - 1

f(1) = 2

This result is positive.

---------------------------

We found that f(0) = -1 and f(1) = 2. The first output -1 is negative while the second output 2 is positive. Going from negative to positive means that, at some point, we will hit y = 0. We might have multiple instances of this happening, or just one. We don't know for sure. The only thing we do know is that there is at least one root in this interval.

To actually find this root, you'll need to use a graphing calculator because the root is some complicated decimal value. Using a graphing calculator, you should find the root to be approximately 0.4533976515
