Yes, you made an algebraic error. By multiplying 18 x 4, you messed up on order of operations.

(x+9)(x+2)*4

becomes:

(x^2+11x+18)*4

= 4x^2 + 44x + 72

anyway, this is how I would do this problem:

(x+9)(x+2)(4) = 912

(x+9)(x+2) = 228

x^2 + 11x + 18 = 228

x^2 + 11x - 220 = 0

(x+21)(x-10) = 0

x = -21 or 10

The dimensions can't be negative, so we only use x = 10

The dimensions are then 10+9, 10+2, 4

or 19, 12, 4

The circle given by x^2+y^2-6y-12=0 can be written in standard form like this: x^2+(y-k)^2=21 What is the value of k in this equ

sweet [91]

Answer:

The value of k =3

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+y^2-6y-12=0$ We need to solve this equation to become in standard form to find the value of k.

$x^2+y^2-6y-12=0\\x^2+y^2-6y = 12\\(x)^2 +(y^2-2(y)(3)+(3)^2) = 12 +(3)^2\\(x)^2+(y-3)^2 = 12+9\\(x)^2 +(y-3)^2 = 21$

The given standard form is:

$x^2+(y-k)^2=21$

Comparing it with $(x)^2 +(y-3)^2 = 21$

The value of k =3

Hello :
the solution is : <span>(3, -1)
put x= 3 and y = -1
you have : 3-(-1) = 4 and 3+(-1) = 2 ..... right</span>

it would be at 3

cause double negatives cancel out- if u c something like -- or -(-) they would become a positive- so you would plot it at positive 3

hope this helps (again lol)
