Lets name the largest number as x
smallest number is half the largest , therefore its x/2 = 0.5x
then middle number is 3/4 the largest , therefore its 3/4x = 0.75x
the sum of the three numbers are 162
the three numbers added are
x + 0.5x + 0.75x = 162
2.25 x = 162
x = 72
the largest number is 72
then middle number 0.75 x = 0.75 x 72 = 54
smallest number is 0.5x = 0.5 x 72 = 36
answer is - 36,54,72

What function is graphed below?

tester [92]

The answer for the exercise shown above is the first option, which is:
<span> f(x)=log(x-3)
The explanation is shown below:
If you substitute the x in the function for values, you will obtain the graph attached above. As you can see on the mentioned graph, when the variable x has the value 4, the value y is 0. Therefore, you have:
</span> f(x)=log(x-3)
  f(x)=log(4-3)
  f(x)=log(1)
  f(x)=0<span>
</span>

raph the equation with a diameter that has endpoints at (-3, 4) and (5, -2). Label the center and at least four points on the ci

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Equation:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2x - 2y - 35= 0$

The point (0,-5), (0,7), (5,0) and (-7,0)also lie on this circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of a circle with a diamterhat hs endpoints at (-3, 4) and (5, -2).

The center of this circle is the midpoint of (-3, 4) and (5, -2).

We use the midpoint formula:

$( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2,}{2} )$

Plug in the points to get:

$( \frac{ - 3+5}{2}, \frac{ - 2+4}{2} )$

$( \frac{ -2}{2}, \frac{ 2}{2} )$

$( - 1, 1)$

We find the radius of the circle using the center (-1,1) and the point (5,-2) on the circle using the distance formula:

$r = \sqrt{ {(x_2-x_1)}^{2} + {(y_2-y_1)}^{2} }$

$r = \sqrt{ {(5 - - 1)}^{2} + {( - 2- - 1)}^{2} }$

$r = \sqrt{ {(6)}^{2} + {( - 1)}^{2} }$

$r = \sqrt{ 36+ 1 } = \sqrt{37}$

The equation of the circle is given by:

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

Where (h,k)=(-1,1) and r=√37 is the radius

We plug in the values to get:

$(x- - 1)^2 + (y-1)^2 = {( \sqrt{37}) }^{2}$

$(x + 1)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 37$

We expand to get:

${x}^{2} + 2x + 1 + {y}^{2} - 2y + 1 = 37$

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2x - 2y +2 - 37= 0$

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2x - 2y - 35= 0$

We want to find at least four points on this circle.

We can choose any point for x and solve for y or vice-versa

When y=0,

${x}^{2} + {0}^{2} + 2x - 2(0) - 35= 0$

${x}^{2} +2x - 35= 0$

$(x - 5)(x + 7) = 0$

$x = 5 \: or \: x = - 7$

The point (5,0) and (-7,0) lies on the circle.

When x=0

${0}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2(0) - 2y - 35= 0$

${y}^{2} - 2y - 35= 0$

$(y - 7)(y + 5) = 0$

$y = 7 \: or \: y = - 5$

The point (0,-5) and (0,7) lie on this circle.
