In the year 2000, the average cost of a computer could be modeled by the equation C = -5t2 + 750, where t is the number of years

since 2000. By the year 2008 the average cost had changed, so it could be modeled by the equation C = -10t2 + 500. Find the difference in the average costs for a computer between 2008 and 2000.

Answer:

\Delta C=-5t^2-250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The average cost of a computer in the year 2000 is given as:

C=-5t^2+750

The average cost of a computer in the year 2008 is given as:

C=-10t^2+500

Now, the difference in average cost between the years 2008 and 2000 can be calculated by subtracting the average cost in 2000 from the average cost in 2008.

Framing in equation form, we get:

Difference in average cost (ΔC) is given as:

\Delta C=C_{2008}-C_{2000}\\\\\Delta C= (-10t^2+500)-(-5t^2+750)\\\\\textrm{Distributing the megative sign inside the second polynomial, we get:}\\\\\Delta C=-10t^2+500+5t^2-750\\\\\textrm{Grouping like terms, we get}\\\\\Delta C=(-10t^2+5t^2)+(500-750)\\\\\Delta C=-5t^2-250

Therefore, the difference in the costs for a computer between 2008 and 2000 is \Delta C=-5t^2-250

Answer:

351.48cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Heron’s Formula

Find half the perimeter (30+30+26)/2=43

It’s the square root of each side subtracted from 43, multiplied together, times 43.

√(43-30)*(43-30)*(43-26)*43=√13*13*17*43=√=123539=351.481cm²

Yo sup??

The given points are (1,1),(1,3) and (9,2)

equation of circle is

8x²+8y²+ax+by=0

let us plug in (1,1) in the equation we get

8+8+a+b=0

a+b=-16

let us now plug in (1,3) in the equation

8+8*3²+a+3b=0

a+3b=-80

let us. now solve the two equation in terms of a and b

we get

2b=--64

b=-32

and

a=-16+32

=16

therefore the equation is

8x²+8y²+16x-32y=0

Hope this helps
