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.

If f(x) = x^4-x^3+x^2 and g(x)= -x^2, where x does not = 0, what is (f/g)(x)?
Korvikt [17]

For this case we have the following functions:

f (x) = x ^ 4-x ^ 3 x ^ 2\\g (x) = - x ^ 2

By definition of composition of functions we have to:(f \ g) (x) = \frac {f (x)} {g (x)}

So:

\frac {f (x)} {g (x)} = \frac {x ^ 4-x ^ 3 x ^ 2} {- x ^ 2} = \frac {x ^ 4} {- x ^ 2} +\frac {-x ^ 3} {- x ^ 2}+ \frac {x ^ 2} {- x ^ 2} =

By definition of division of powers of the same base we have to place the same base and subtract the exponents:

\frac {f (x)} {g (x)} = - x ^ 2+x-1

ANswer:

(\frac {f} {g}) (x) = - x ^ 2 +x-1

Simplify6(x - 3) = -42.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

<em><u>x</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>-4</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First Expand :

6(x - 3)

= 6x - 18

Now you need to Simplify:

6x - 18 = -42

And now get the 6x by itself by doing this :

6x - 18 = -42

+18 +18

= > 6x = -24

And 6 x 4 = 24

But 6 x -4 = -24

So :

6x/6 and -24/6

= >> x = -4

Evaluate and match each expression on the left to its value on the right, when x=4 and y=7 .
ICE Princess25 [194]

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 12 + 4 = 16

1st left equation is matched to 4th right value

b. 3(4) + 7 = 19

2nd left equation is correctly matched to 2nd right value

c. 4(7) - 10 = 18

3rd left equation is matched to 1st right value

d. 1 / 2 × xy

1 / 2 × (4 × 7)

= 28 ÷ 2

= 14

4th left equation is matched to 3rd right value
