Answer: 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The blueprints for a police station show that one of the lamp posts has a motion detector on it, and that the equation describes the boundary within which motion can be sensed. :

(x+14)^2+(y-6)^2=9 → which is a equation of a CIRCLE.

When we compare it to the standard form of equation of circle i.e. (x-(-14))^2+(y-6)^2=3^2 , we get the radius of the circle = 3

Consider the lamp post as the center of the area covered by the detector.

Then the greatest distance a person could be from the lamp and be detected = Radius of the circular area

=3 feet.

Can someone help me please
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

c >= 2

that means any value of c greater or equal to 2 is a valid solution. so, yes, 2 is a solution for this.

c < 2

that means any value of c smaller than 2 is a valid solution. so, no, 2 is not smaller than 2, so it is not a solution.

c < 3

that means any value of c smaller than 3 is a valid solution. so, yes, 2 is smaller than 3, so 2 is a solution.

3 < c

that means any value of c, for that 3 is smaller, is a valid solution. our in other words, any value for c larger than 3 is a valid solution. so, no, 2 is not larger than 3, so it is not a solution.

-8 < c

that means any value of c, for that -8 is smaller, is a valid solution. our in other words, any value for c larger than -8 is a valid solution. so, yes, 2 is larger than -8, so it is a solution.

Pamela is 6 years younger than Jiri. The sum of their ages is 78 . What is Jiri's age?
Alona [7]
Let’s make

P = Pamela
J = Jiri

J - 6 = P

P + J = 78

We can replace P with J - 6 because they are the same thing.

J - 6 + J = 78

2J - 6 = 78

2J = 84

J = 42

Jiri is 42 years old.

4x+1=9+4y please help me solve for x please show step by step I’m very confused
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

<em>x - y = 2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you would combine like terms, giving you 4x - 4y + 1 = 9.

Next, subtract the numbers, which gives you 4x - 4y = 8.

Finally, divide both sides by 4, which will come to the conclusion of x - y = 2, the simplest form of which this equation can be broken down to.
