The largest group that can go to the zoo is 23 members

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • A zoo charges an admission price of $85 for the first 12 members of a group and $6 for each additional member of the group
  • We need to find the largest group that can go to the zoo and spend less than $155 on admission

Assume that the number of members in the group is x

∵ There are x members in the group

∵ The zoo charges an admission price of $85 for the first 12

   members of a group and $6 for each additional member

   of the group

- Take 12 members from x and multiply the rest members by

   6 and then add 85 to the product

∴ The group will spend = 6(x - 12) + 85

∵ The group wants to spend less than 155 to go to the zoo

- use the symbol < between the expression above and 155

∴ 6(x - 12) + 85 < 155

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 6x - 72 + 85 < 155

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 6x + 13 < 155

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 6x < 142

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ x < 23.67

- Take the largest integer less than 23.67

∵ 23 is the largest integer less than 23.67

∴ The group has 23 members

The largest group that can go to the zoo is 23 members

Answer:

We know that the equation of the circle in standard form is equal to <em>(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²</em> where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

We have x² + y² + 8x + 22y + 37 = 0, let's get to the standard form :

1 - We first group terms with the same variable :

(x²+8x) + (y²+22y) + 37 = 0

2 - We then move the constant to the opposite side of the equation (don't forget to change the sign !)

(x²+8x) + (y²+22y) = - 37

3 - Do you recall the quadratic identities ? (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b². Now that's what we are trying to find. We call this process <u><em>"completing the square"</em></u>.

x²+8x = (x²+8x + 4²) - 4² = (x+4)² - 4²

y²+22y = (y²+22y+11²)-11² = (y+11)²-11²

4 - We plug the new values inside our equation :

(x+4)² - 4² + (y+22)² - 11² = -37

(x+4)² + (y+22)² = -37+4²+11²

(x+4)²+(y+22)² = 100

5 - We re-write in standard form :

(x-(-4)²)² + (y - (-22))² = 10²

And now it is easy to identify h and k, h = -4 and k = - 22 and the radius r equal 10. You can now complete the sentence :)

denpristay [2]

Answer:

A = 201.06  square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of the pizza is 8 inches.

It is required to find the area of the pizza get by Emily's family.

Pizza is in the shape of circle. Area of a circular figure is given by :

A=\pi r^2\\\\A=\pi (8)^2\\\\A=201.06\ in^2

So, the Emily's family will get 201.06 square inches of pizza.
