What is an equation of a circle whose center is at (2,-4) and is
Evgesh-ka [11]

The equation of the circle with center at (2,-4) and tangent to the line x = -2 is given by:

(2) (x - 2)² + (y + 4)² = 16

<h3>What is the equation of a circle?</h3>

The equation of a circle of center (x_0, y_0) and radius r is given by:

(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2

The circle has center at (2,-4), hence x_0 = 2, y_0 = -4.

The center is tangent to the line x = -2, hence it has a point at x = -2, since |-2 - 2| = 4, r = 4 -> r² = 16.

Hence the equation of the circle is given by:

(2) (x - 2)² + (y + 4)² = 16

The sum of 69 and 42 is five more than the difference of 146 and a number. Calculate the value of the unknown number.
Len [333]
As an equation, we have:
69+42=5+(146-x)

You just have to simplify:

111=5+(146-x)
106=146-x
-40=-x
40=x

Your unknown number is 40

What is 12.345 rounded to the nearest tenth
noname [10]
Rounding to the nearest tenth means rounding to the decimal place directly to the right of the decimal. 

The rules of rounding are fairly simple. If the number to the right of the number you are rounding is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. If the number to the right is less than 5, you round down.

Let's take a look at the number 12.345.
First, round to the hundredths place. The number right before the 4 is 5, so we round up. This gives us the number 12.35.
Next, we have to round to the tenths place. The number to the right of the 3 is 5, so we round up as well. This gives us the number 12.4.

Answer: 12.4
