Answer:

Find the length of the diameter and the length of the circumference of the circle. Divide the length of the circumference by the length of the diameter. Set up an equation showing the ratio of the circumference to the diameter equal to π . Then rearrange the equation by solving it for the circumference. Substitute 2 times the radius for the diameter.

Answer: The correct answer is (A) Find the relationship between the circumference and the diameter by dividing the length of the circumference and length of the diameter. Use this quotient to set up an equation to showing the ratio of the circumference over the diameter equals to π . Then rearrange the equation to solve for the circumference. Substitute 2 times the radius for the diameter.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct explanation among the options about the derivation of the formula for the circumference of the circle.

We know that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is equal to the irrational number pi.

That is, if 'C' be the circumference and 'd' be the diameter of a circle, then

$\dfrac{C}{d}=\pi.$

Now, since diameter is twice the radius, so

$d=2r,~\textup{where 'r' is the radius}.$

Therefore, the circumference 'C' is given by

$C=2\pi r.$

Thus, the correct explanation is the first one.

Using two or more complete sentences, describe and correct the error in the solution.

Answer:

In the very first step, when they multiply both sides by 3 the -2y should become -6y but instead it stays as -2y. The correct solution would be:

9x - 6y =6

9x - 6y = 6

0 = 0

This means there are infinite solutions.

What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) = x^4 -24x^2 - 25 A. -1 or 1 B. -5 or 5 C. -5, -1, 1, or 5 D. -

professor190 [17]

For this case we have the following function:

$f (x) = x ^ 4-24x ^ 2-25$

We make a change of variable:

$u = x ^ 2$

So, we have:

$u ^ 2-24u-25$

We apply the resolver:

$a = 1\\b = -24\\c = -25\\$

$u = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}\\u = \frac {- (- 24) \pm \sqrt {(- 24) ^ 2-4 (1) (- 25)}} {2 (1)}\\u = \frac {24 \pm \sqrt {576 + 100}} {2}\\u = \frac {24 \pm \sqrt {676}} {2}\\u = \frac {24\pm26} {2}$

We have two roots:

$u_ {1} = \frac {24 + 26} {2} = 25\\u_ {2} = \frac {24-26} {2} = - 1$

Returning the change:

$x ^ 2 = 25\\x = \pm \sqrt {25} = \pm5$

$x ^ 2 = -1$ Give the imaginary roots.

Answer:

Real roots $\pm5$
