Radius OB measures x units. Which expression represents
1 answer:
Answer:
Circumference of the smaller circle = 2.1x units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.
Two similar circles are shown. The circumference of the larger circle, with radius OB, is 3 times the circumference of the smaller circle, with radius OA. Radius OB measures x units. Which expression represents the circumference of the smaller circle with radius OA ?
Radius of the larger circle OB = x units
Radius of the smaller circle OA = y units
Circumference of larger circle = 2πx units
Circumference of smaller circle = 2πy units
Since circumference of larger circle is 3 times the circumference of smaller circle,
2πx = 3(2πy)
2πx = 6πy
x = 3y
y =
Therefore, circumference of the smaller circle = units
= units
= 2.094x
≈ 2.1x
Circumference of the smaller circle circle = 2.1x units

It is often more convenient to evaluate a polynomial when it is written is "Horner form."
... f(x) = (((10x -4)x -8)x +3)x -6
The graphs offered can be distinguished by their values of f(1) and f(2), so our table can be a short one.
... f(1) = (((10·1 -4)1 -8)1 +3)1 -6 = -5 . . . . . . . eliminates graph d
... f(2) = (((10·2 -4)2 -8)2 +3)2 -6 = 96 . . . . eliminates graphs a and c
The appropriate choice is b.
