C = Pi * d where C = circumference, d = diameter, r = radius

C = 2*pi *r

we need to watch the units since they are different

Pool A

C = 2 * pi * r

C = 2 * pi * 12 = 24 * pi in feet

Pool B

C = pi * d

change meters to feet

7.5 m * 3.28 ft/ 1 m = 24.6 ft

C = pi * 24.6 = 24.6* pi in ft

Pool B had a greater circumference

24.6 * pi > 24 pi

4. Find the value of n that makes this equation true. (Use

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

$n=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We start off with 3.2n + 13.3 = 26.1.

We need to get n by itself.

Subtract 13.3 from both sides.

$3.2n+13.3-13.3=26.1-13.3$

$26.1-13.3=12.8$

We end up with: $3.2n=12.8$

Divide 3.2 on both sides to get n by itself.

$\frac{3.2n}{3.2} =\frac{12.8}{3.2}\\ n=4$

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 inches if the width is 3 times it’s length find it dimension

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Length = 11.25 and width = 3.75 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You must mean that the length is 3 times its width.

If the the width is x then the length is 3x inches.

Perimeter = 2*length + 2*width.

2(3x) + 2x = 30

6x + 2x = 30

8x = 30

x = 3.75.

3x = 11.25.

Complete the square and write in standard form. Show all work.What would be the conic section:CircleEllipseHyperbolaParabola

mote1985 [20]

ANSWER

This is an ellipse. The equation is:

$\frac{(x-1)^2}{3^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{4^2}=1$

EXPLANATION

We have to complete the square for each variable. To do so, we have to take the first two terms and compare them with the perfect binomial squared formula,

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

For x we have to take 16x² and -32x. Since the coefficient of x is not 1, first, we have to factor out the coefficient 16,

$16x^2-32x=16(x^2-2x)$

Now, the first term of the expanded binomial would be x and the second term -2x. Thus, the binomial is,

$(x-1)^2=x^2-2x+1$

To maintain the equation, we have to subtract 1,

$16(x^2-2x+1-1)=16((x-1)^2-1)=16(x-1)^2-16$

Now, we replace (16x² - 32x) from the given equation by this equivalent expression,

$16(x-1)^2-16+9y^2+72y+16=0$

The next step is to do the same for y. We have the terms 9y² + 72y. Again, since the coefficient of y² is not 1, we factor out the coefficient 9,

$9y^2+72y=9(y^2+8y)$

Following the same reasoning as before, we have that the perfect binomial squared is,

$(y+4)^2=y^2+8y+16$

Remember to subtract the independent term to maintain the equation,

$9(y^2+8y)=9(y^2+8y+16-16)=9((y+4)^2-16)=9(y+4)^2-144$

And now, as we did for x, replace the two terms (9y² + 72y) with this equivalent expression in the equation,

$16(x-1)^2-16+9(y+4)^2-144+16=0$

Add like terms,

$\begin{gathered} 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2+(-16-144+16)=0 \\ 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2-144=0 \end{gathered}$

Add 144 to both sides,

$\begin{gathered} 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2-144+144=0+144 \\ 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2=144 \end{gathered}$

As we can see, this is the equation of an ellipse. Its standard form is,

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$

So the next step is to divide both sides by 144 and also write the coefficients as fractions in the denominator,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{16(x-1)^2}{144}+\frac{9(y+4)^2}{144}=\frac{144}{144} \\ \\ \frac{(x-1)^2}{\frac{144}{16}}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{\frac{144}{9}}=1 \end{gathered}$

Finally, we have to write the denominators as perfect squares, so we identify the values of a and b. 144 is 12², 16 is 4² and 9 is 3²,

$\frac{(x-1)^2}{(\frac{12}{4})^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{(\frac{12}{3})^2}=1$

Note that we can simplify a and b,

$\frac{12}{4}=3\text{ and }\frac{12}{3}=4$

Hence, the equation of the ellipse is,

$\frac{(x-1)^2}{3^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{4^2}=1$
