We are told that circle C has center (-4, 6) and a radius of 2.

We are told that circle D has center (6, -2) and a radius of 4.


If we move circle C's center ten units to the right and eight units down, the new center would be at (-4 + 10), (6 - 8) = (6, -2). So step 1 in the informal proof checks out - the centers are the same (which is the definition of concentric) and the shifts are right.

Let's look at our circles. Circle C has a radius of 2 and is inside circle D, whose radius is 4. Between Circle C and Circle D, the radii have a 1:2 ratio, as seen below:

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{radius--circle C}{radius--circle D}

If we dilate circle C by a factor of 2, it means we are expanding it and doubling it. Our circle has that 1:2 ratio, and doubling both sides gives us 2:4. The second step checks out.

Translated objects (or those that you shift) can be congruent, and dilated objects are used with similarity (where you stretch and squeeze). The third step checks out.


Thus, the argument is correct and the last choice is best.

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x^5
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is:

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12?

A).f(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 – 9x3 + x2 – 12

B).f(x) = 3x6 – 2x5 + 9x4 – x3 + 12x

C).f(x) = 12x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 3

D).f(x) = 12x5 – 8x4 + 36x3 – 4x2 + 48

Solution:

The function given to us is:

3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12

Find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors of 12 are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q'

The factors of 3 are:

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

We know that we write rational terms in p/q form.

Therefore the Rational roots are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Now we will solve the first function given in part A.

f(x) = 3x^5 – 2x^4 - 9x^3 + x^2 - 12

Again find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q' .

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

Rational root are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Therefore the rational roots of the given function matches the rational roots of the given equation.

Hence the correct option is A

It takes most oceans about 6 hours to go from high tide to low tide.Suppose that the water level decreases at a rate of 3 feet p
juin [17]

Answer:

From the level of high tide to low tide, it's 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the change in water level, we multiply the rate (3 ft / hr) by the time (6 hrs), obtaining 18 ft.

The water level changes by 18 ft.
