Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.

To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.

You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45

Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.

Write the equation in standard form for the circle with center (0, -1) and radius 10.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

x^2 + (y+1)^2 = 10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Centre (p,q) = (0, -1)

radius, r = 10

General Equation of a circle

(x-p)^2 + (y-q)^2 = r^2

(x-0)^2 + (y- -1)^2 = 10^2

x^2 + (y+1)^2 = 10^2
