I don't fully know exactly what your asking and I'm new at this, but I think you're asking about what is the center and radius of a circle right? In that case, this is what I came up with (Don't know if this is what you want, sorry) :(
First step: You do -40 to the current +40, and transfer it to the other side of the equal symbol, making the 0 turn into a -40.
Second step: It should now look like this - (x^2+14x) = -40
Third step: Divide the 14 by 2, which gives you a positive 7, then square that 7, which gives you 49. It shall look like this now - (x^2+14x+49) = 9. The nine is now there at the end because you add the 49 to the negative 40.
Fourth step: Remember the 7? Well, we use it now. It should currently look like this - (x+7) = 9. 
Fifth step: The Center can now be found, and remember for the center you do the opposite of what the number is, in this case, the positive 7, will be a negative 7 in the center. Since there is no y found, it will remain as 0. (I think) This is how It looks - Center: (-7, 0)
Sixth step (Final step): Now the radius must be found, we will now look at the nine at the other side of the equal symbol. We square root that now! So the radius = 3. 
Answers: Center: (-7, 0) Radius: 3. (Or if asked to find diameter, then it would be double the 3. Meaning Diameter=6.
Comment: I'm only a 9th grader, so sorry If I got this wrong. Trying to help :p lol.

L(t)=9-0.5t   
t=time in hours,
L(t)=length of candle at time t

(A) substitute t=1,2,3,4,5,6 respectively to get
(1,8.5)
(2,8)
(3,7.5)
(4,7)
(5,6.5)
(6,6)

(B) it is a function because none of the x-values duplicate, (nor the y-values).

(C) If the rate changes to 0.45 "/hr, the relation is still linear.
All linear function with finite slope are functions.

The null and alternative hypotheses are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Test is Left tailed test

Parameter tested is standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the hypothesis as;

Null hypothesis; H0: σ = 8.6

Alternative hypothesis; H1: σ < 8.6

Where;σ is a constant generally known in statistics as the standard deviation.

Now, it's the alternative hypothesis that will let us know whether this is left tailed, right tailed or two tailed.

Alternative hypothesis says σ < 8.6.

This means that the values of σ that satisfy this hypothesis are less than 8.6 and thus are on the left hand side of 8.6 on a number line. Thus, the shaded region in a normal distribution curve will be on the left.

Thus, it's a left tailed test
