That is a straight angle, meaning the angle measure is 180 degrees. we know that 14x+22x=180, or 36x=180 by combining like terms. solving for x, we get x=5. plugging in, 14x5=70. the tree has to go 70 degrees before hitting the ground. looking at our diagram, this answer makes sense.

Match the circle equations in general form with their corresponding equations in standard form. Not all will be used.

Xelga [282]

The standard form of the equation of a circumference is given by the following expression:

 $(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2} \\ \\ where \ (h, k) \ is \ the \ center \ of \ the \ circumference \ and \ r \ the \ radius$

On the other hand, the general form is given as follows:

 $x^{2}+y^{2}+Dx+Ey+F=0 \\ \\ where: \\ D=-2h, \ E=-2k, \ F=h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2}$ 

In this way, we can order the mentioned equations as follows:

Equations in Standard Form:

 $\bold{a)} \ (x-6)^{2}+(y-4)^{2}=56 \\ \bold{b)} \ (x-2)^{2} + (y+6)^{2}=60 \\ \bold{c)} \ (x+2)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=18 \\ \bold{d)} \ (x+1)^{2}+(y-6)^{2}=46$

Equations in General Form:

$\bold{1)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x+12y-20=0 \\ \bold{2)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}+6x-8y-10=0 \\ \bold{3)} \ 3x^{2}+3y^{2}+12x+18y-15=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 3, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}+4x+6y-5=0 \\ \\ \bold{4)} \ 5x^{2}+5y^{2}-10x+20y-30=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 5, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+4y-6=0 \\ \\ \bold{5)} \ 2x^{2}+2y^{2}-24x-16y-8=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 2, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}-12x-8y-4=0$

$\bold{6)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-12y$

So let's match each equation:

$\bold{From \ a)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(6,4),\ r=2\sqrt{14} \\ D=-12, \ E=-8 \\ F=-4$

Then, its general form is:

$x^{2}+y^{2}-12x-8y-4=0$

First. a) matches 5) 

$\bold{From \ b)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(2,-6),\ r=2\sqrt{15} \\ D=-4, \ E=12 \\ F=-20$

Then, its general form is:

$x^{2}+y^{2}-4x+12y-20=0$

Second. b) matches 1) 

$\bold{From \ c)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(-2,-3),\ r=3\sqrt{2} \\ D=4, \ E=6 \\ F=-5$

Then, its general form is:

$x^{2}+y^{2}+4x+6y-5=0$

Third. c) matches 3)

$\bold{From \ d)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(-1,6),\ r=\sqrt{46} \\ D=2, \ E=-12, \ F=-9$

Then, its general form is: $x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-12y-9=0$

Fourth. d) matches 6)

lions [1.4K]

In the question it is given that,

The students at Midtown Middle school sold flowers as a fundraiser in September and October. In October, they charged $1.50 for each flower

And the October price was a 20% increase of the September price.

Let the price of the flower in October be $x

So we have

$x+ \frac{20}{100}x = 1.50 \\ \frac{120x}{100} = 1.50 \\ x = \frac{1.50*100}{120} = 1.25$
