Find an equation of the circle and sketch it if it has: Center on y=4, tangent x-axis at (–2, 0)

Mathematics

Answer:

(x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=16

OK, lets start by drawing a basic graph (the first one) so we can visualize.

We already know that the y coordinate of the circle's center is 4.

We know that the circle is tangent to the X axis at (-2,0)

That means the x coordinate of the center has to be -2, as the tangent is a point on the edge of the circle that touches a line at exactly one point.

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to its edge. We know the center's location now, it is (-2, 4) and a point on the edge of the circle (the tangent point) which is (-2,0). so the distance between the points is 4 which is the radius (you can use the distance formula, but it's quite oblivious.)

We can imagine the circle should look like this (the second one):

Now we can piece together an equation

The equation of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius. When we put the numbers in: we get (x-(-2))^2+(y-(4))^2=4^2 which can be simplified into (x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=16 which is the answer.

What is a counterexample for the statement the difference between two integers is always positive
Maru [420]

We have to give counter example for the given statement:

"The difference between two integers is always positive"

This statement is not true. As integers is the set of numbers which includes positive and as well as negative numbers including zero.

Consider any two integers say '2' and '-8'. Now, let us consider the difference between these two integers.

So, 2 - 8

= -6 which is not positive.

Therefore, it is not necessary that the difference of two integers is only positive. The difference of two integers can be positive, negative or zero.

Can you help stuck on this question for a while ​

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectangular sand box is given by the function,

F(x) = 3x³ + 6x - 2

Width of the sand box is represented by the function,

W(x) = 2x² - 4

Area function for the sand box will be,

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

F(x) × W(x) = (3x³ + 6x - 2)(2x² - 4)

                 = 2x²(3x³ + 6x - 2) - 4(3x³ + 6x - 2)

                 = 6x⁵+ 12x³ - 4x²- 12x³- 24x + 8

                 = 6x⁵- 4x²- 24x + 8

Therefore, Area function will be represented by a polynomial degree of 5.

Option B will be the answer.
