Find an equation of the circle that has center (−1,2) and passes through ( 2,−2) .
user100 [1]
Equation of a  circle that has a center at (h,k) and radius of r is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

so

given center (-1,2)
(x-(-1))²+(y-2)²=r²
(x+1)²+(y-2)²=r²

sub the other point to find r or r²

it passes through (2,-2)
sub 2 for x and -2 for y

(2+1)²+(-2-2)²=r²
(3)²+(-4)²=r²
9+16=r²
25=r²
5=r


the equation is
(x+1)²+(y-2)²=5²

Solve the absolute value inequality: |x + 12| + 5 < 27 Isolate the absolute value by subtracting 5 from both sides.
Feliz [49]

Answer:

- 34 < x < 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequalities of the type | x | < a, always have a solution of the form

- a < x < a

given | x + 12 | + 5 < 27 ( subtract  5 from both sides )

| x + 12 | < 22, then

- 22 < x + 12 < 22 ( subtract 12 from all 3 intervals )

- 34 < x < 10
