The equation for a circle is x^2 - 8x + y^2 -8 =0. what is the equation of the circle in standard form?

1 answer:

8 0

You have to complete the square on this to get it into standard form of a circle. Move the 8 over to the other side because that's part of the radius. Group together the x terms, take half the linear term which is 8, square it and add it in to both sides. Half of 8 is 4, 4 squared is 16, so add in 16 to both sides. I'll show you in a sec. You don't need to do anything to the y squared term. This just means that the center of the circle does not move up or down, only side to side, right or left. Here's your completing the square before we simplify it down to its perfect square binomial. $( x^{2} -8x+16)+ y^{2} =8+16$ . Now break down the parenthesis into the perfect square binomial and do the addition of the right: $(x-4) ^{2} + y^{2}=24$ . This is the standard form of a circle that has a center of (4, 0) and a radius of $\sqrt{24}$

Which of the following is correct about environmental policy?a. The national forests are protected from the exploitive ""dual us

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Environmental regulation has led to dramatic improvements in air and water quality.

Step-by-step explanation:

- The national forests are protected from the exploitive ""dual use policy.

The dual use policy on any idea, technology, breakthrough etc. means such concept can be used for its intended purpose and for military use.

Natural forests are not excluded from this dual use policy & plenty forest exploiters hide under this policy to literally exploit natural forests.

- The Environmental Protection Agency was elevated to cabinet status in 1998 by President Clinton and the Republican Congress

This is not true as the EPA is still not a Cabinet department, but the Administrator is normally given cabinet rank.

- Environmental regulation has led to dramatic improvements in air and water quality.

Regulations have led plenty industries at the forefront of pollution to sit up and fix up. Strict laws and hefty fines have discouraged various water and air pollution means since those regulations came into place. This is the only correct statement about environmental policy amongst the options.

- Policymakers always give more consideration to environmental protection than to economic development when the two conflict.

This is true sometimes, but 'always'!? No, policymakers do not always give more consideration to environmental protection than to economic development when the two conflict.

The first choice is correct

The rate is 20 per dog, thus we get the equation:

c= 20d

However the first dog is free, so the equation becomes

c = 20(d - 1)

And he also has a walking fee of 85 dollars and thus the equation becomes

c= 85 + 20(d-1)

Ramona is a saleswoman whose base plus commissions amounted to $52,561 last year. If her base pay was $23,960 and she made $77,3

Ksju [112]

Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ramona received an overall pay of $52,561 last year, $23,960 of which was base pay, we can first subtract these two numbers to find the amount she made from her sales commission:

$52,561 - $23,960 = $28,601

In order to find her percent commission, we can set up a proportion:

$\frac{p}{100}=\frac{28,601}{77,300}$ , where 'p' is her rate of commission
