Answer: Approximately 112.86 miles in any direction away from the radio station
Step-by-step explanation: If the radio signal of the radio station can cover a circular area of 40,000 square miles, it simply means any direction away from the radio station that is within the coverage area. With the radio station as the center, we would have a radius that can reach any point within the area, and any distance beyond the radius would be out of coverage area. If the area has been given as 40000, then we have;
Area of a circle = pi x r^2
40000 = 3.14 x r^2
By cross multiplication we now have
40000/3.14 = r^2
Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation
112.8665 = r
Therefore, the farthest a person can live away from the radio station is approximately 112.86 miles
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1. shifts the graph right 2 units
2. y = -2(x -3)² +7
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Replacing x with x-h in any function shifts the graph h units to the right. Here, you have replaced x with (x-2), so the graph will be shifted 2 units to the right.

3) The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is ...
y = a(x -h)² +k . . . . . . . . for vertex (h, k) and vertical scale factor 'a'
Here, the vertex is (h, k) = (3, 7), and the parabola opens downward. This tells us the sign of 'a' is negative.
The graph is not so clear that it is easy to read the value of 'a' directly from it, but there are several clues.
The zeros of the above function are found at h±√(k/a). This graph shows the zeros to be located such that √(7/a) is slightly less than 2. This means the magnitude of 'a' will be slightly more than 7/2² = 1.75. The y-intercept of the function is 7-9a. It is less than -7, but probably more than -14. This puts bounds on 'a':
-14 < 7-9a < -7
-21/9 < -a < -14/9 ⇒ -2.33 < -a < -1.56
If we assume that 'a' is an integer value, we have bounded its magnitude as being between 1.75 and 2.33, so a=-2 is a reasonable choice.
The equation of the graph may be ...
y = -2(x -3)² +7
The arc length of AB = 8.37 meters
Solution:
Degree of AB (θ) = 60°
Radius of the circle = 8 m
Let us find the arc length of AB.
Arc length formula:




Arc length = 8.37 m
Hence the arc length of AB is 8.37 meters.
