What is the center and radius of -10x = -121 - y2 - x2 -22y
OlgaM077 [116]

We need to find the center and the radius of

-10x\: =\: -121\: -\: y^2\: -\: x^2\: -22y

The general circle equation is the following

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

where

(h,k) is the center and

r is the radius

1. rearrange the equation

(x^2-10x)+(y^2+22y+121)=0

2. Add 25 on both sides

(x^2-10x+25)+(y^2+22y+121)=25

3. Factor

(x-5)^2+(y+11)^2=5^2

Now we have an equation that is very similar to the circle equation, so let's compare them

Center -> (h,k) = (5,-11)

radius -> r = 5

Write an inequality for the graph.
ivann1987 [24]

Use y = mx + b to determine the equation of the graph, then decided the inequality symbol.

m = +5/+6 = \frac{5}{6}    b = 5

y =  \frac{5}{6}x + 5

6y = 5x + 30

-30 = 5x - 6y   ⇒   5x - 6y = -30

Now let's look at the inequality symbol:  The shaded area is below so it will be a less than symbol and it is a solid line so the equal sign is included.

Answer: 5x - 6y ≤ -30

Ray Of Light [21]
P(sum = 6)  = 5/36 ;  P(sum = 12) = 1/36

expected payoff = (5/36)(5) + (1/36)(9)  =   $0.94

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

System A has 4 real solutions.

System B has 0 real solutions.

System C has 2 real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

System A:

x^2 + y^2 = 17   eq(1)

y = -1/2x            eq(2)

Putting value of y in eq(1)

x^2 +(-1/2x)^2 = 17

x^2 + 1/4x^2 = 17

5x^2/4 -17 =0

Using quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

a = 5/4, b =0 and c = -17

x=\frac{-(0)\pm\sqrt{(0)^2-4(5/4)(-17)}}{2(5/4)}\\x=\frac{0\pm\sqrt{85}}{5/2}\\x=\frac{\pm\sqrt{85}}{5/2}\\x=\frac{\pm2\sqrt{85}}{5}

Finding value of y:

y = -1/2x

y=-1/2(\frac{\pm2\sqrt{85}}{5})

y=\frac{\pm\sqrt{85}}{5}

System A has 4 real solutions.

System B

y = x^2 -7x + 10    eq(1)

y = -6x + 5            eq(2)

Putting value of y of eq(2) in eq(1)

-6x + 5 = x^2 -7x + 10

=> x^2 -7x +6x +10 -5 = 0

x^2 -x +5 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

a= 1, b =-1 and c =5

x=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(5)}}{2(1)}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{1-20}}{2}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{-19}}{2}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{19}i}{2}

Finding value of y:

y = -6x + 5

y = -6(\frac{1\pm\sqrt{19}i}{2})+5

Since terms containing i are complex numbers, so System B has no real solutions.

System B has 0 real solutions.

System C

y = -2x^2 + 9    eq(1)

8x - y = -17        eq(2)

Putting value of y in eq(2)

8x - (-2x^2+9) = -17

8x +2x^2-9 +17 = 0

2x^2 + 8x + 8 = 0

2x^2 +4x + 4x + 8 = 0

2x (x+2) +4 (x+2) = 0

(x+2)(2x+4) =0

x+2 = 0 and 2x + 4 =0

x = -2 and 2x = -4

x =-2 and x = -2

So, x = -2

Now, finding value of y:

8x - y = -17    

8(-2) - y = -17    

-16 -y = -17

-y = -17 + 16

-y = -1

y = 1

So, x= -2 and y = 1

System C has 2 real solutions
