The correct answer is: [D]: "17" .
______________________________________________________
The radius is: " 17" .
______________________________________________________
Note:
______________________________________________________
The formula/equation for the graph of a circle is:
______________________________________________________
(x − h)² + (y − k)² = r² ;

in which:

" (h, k) " ; are the coordinate of the point of the center of the circle;

"r" is the length of the "radius" ; for which we want to determine;
_______________________________________________________
We are given the following equation of the graph of a particular circle:
_______________________________________________________

→ (x − 4)² + (y + 12)² = 17² ;

which is in the correct form:

→ " (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r² " ;

in which: " h = 4 " ;

" k = -12" ;

"r = 17 " ; which is the "radius" ; which is our answer.

→ { Note that: "k = NEGATIVE 12" } ;

→ Since the equation for this particular circle contains the expression: _________________________________________________________
→ "...(y + k)² ..." ;

[as opposed to the standard form: "...(y − k)² ..." ] ;
_________________________________________________________
→ And since the coordinates of the center of a circle are represented by:
" (h, k) " ;

→ which are: " (4, -12) " ; (for this particular circle) ;
_________________________________________________________
→ And since: " k = -12 " ; (for this particular circle) ;
_________________________________________________________
then:

" [y − k ] ² = [ y − (k) ] ² = " [ y − (-12) ] ² " ;

= " ( y + 12)² " ;

{NOTE: Since: "subtracting a negative" is the same as "adding a positive" ;

→ So; " [ y − (-12 ] " = " [ y + (⁺ 12) ] " = " (y + 12) "
___________________________________________________
Note: The above explanation is relevant to confirm that the equation is, in fact, in "proper form"; to ensure that the: radius, "r" ; is: "17" .
___________________________________________________
→ Since: "r = 17 " ;

→ The radius is: " 17 " ;

which is: Answer choice: [D]: "17" .

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 17^2
r = 17 because radicand 289 is 17

How can i use substraction to describe divison? I’ll mark u as the brainliest

makvit [3.9K]

Repeated subtraction is a method of subtracting the equal number of items from a larger group. It is also known as division. If the same number is repeatedly subtracted from another larger number until the remainder is zero or a number smaller than the number being subtracted, we can write that in the form of division

Lucy earns $5.50 per hour at a local restaurant. She earns time and a half for each hour she works on a holiday. Lucy worked se

Mrrafil [7]

X will be used for the value of money she earned that week.

H represents the normal hours she worked.

D represents the number of days.

Y will represent the hours on the holiday.

Since she would be getting time and a half on the holiday, you would need to find how much time and a half pay would be first.

Time and a half = 5.50(1/2) + 5.50 = $8.25/hr for the day or holiday only.

X = 5.50(H)(D) + 8.25(Y)

Plug in your numbers

X = 5.50(7)(5) + 8.25(4)

X = 192.5 + 33

She made $225.5 that week.

What is 13x - 7y + 4x?

AlladinOne [14]

17X-7Y. You add or subtract the same variables, in this case you only have two x's and one y. So you add them, because you have a addition sign. 13x+4x and you leave the Y alone, because there is not another Y variable.

Tia measured the daily high temperature in Kats, Colorado for each of the 30 days in April. She then created both a dot plot and

lara31 [8.8K]

*see attachment below showing the dot plot and box plot created by Tia

Answer:

Dot plot

Step-by-step explanation:

In a dot plot, the temperature of a day is represented by 1 dot. There are 30 dots on the box plot shown in the attachment that was made by Tia.

This dot plot display makes it easier to find how many days had a temperature that is higher than 15°.

Thus, from the dot plot, we have:

2 dots representing 2 days having a temperature of 16°C each
