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.

A jar contains six blue marbles and five red marbles. Suppose you choose a marble at​ random, and do not replace it. Then you ch
TEA [102]

The jar has 6+5=11 marbles.

We have to find the probability of the following event:

1.We pick a marble from a jar that has 11 marbles in total, 5 of them are red

2.We pick a marble from a jar that has now 10 marbles in total, 4 of them are red (because in the previous step we picked a red marble and did not put it back in the jar)

The probability of the first event is:

P_1=\frac{5}{11}

The probability of the second event is:

P_2=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

The probability of the both events to happen is:

P=P_1\cdot P_2=\frac{5}{11}\cdot \frac{2}{5}=\frac{2}{11}=0.1818
