Answer:

(a) 0.4

(b) a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The area under the curve from x=4 to x=6 is 0.2 units high and 2 units wide, so is 0.2·2 = 0.4. (The area of a rectangle is the product of length and width.)

(b) The area is 0.2 and the height of the curve is 0.2, so the width of the region of concern is 0.2/0.2 = 1. (Again, area = height·width, or width = area/height.) 1 unit from the left end is found at X=3, so a = 3.

A circle is centered at the point (-3,2) and passes through the point (1,5). What is the radius of the circle?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is a distance on a circle from the center to a point on the circle.

We have both of these points describe here in this definition. Using the distance formula will give us the radius.

$\sqrt{(x \text{ difference })^2+(y \text{ difference})^2$

The difference between 1 and -3 is 1-(-3)=4.

The difference between 5 and 2 is 5-2=3.

$\sqrt{4^2+3^2}$

$\sqrt{16+9}$

$\sqrt{25}$

$5$

Why do you need fewer inches than centimeters to measure the length of the key

kirill [66]

Inches and centimeters are different units of measurement, one English, one metric. Converting from one to the other requires use of a conversion factor.
One such factor can be derived from 1 inch = 2.54 cm. This means that one inch is 2.54 times longer than one cm.
