ANTONII [103]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The Latin phrase is "reduction ad absurd um", meaning reduction to absurdity. You assume the opposite and show that logically it leads to a contradiction and therefore cannot be true.

Hope this helps.

Rewrite the Cartesian equation y=-3 as a polar equation.

r

Explanation:

Imagine we have a point  

P

with Rectangular (also called Cartesian) coordinates  

(

x

,

y

)

and Polar coordinates  

(

r

,

θ

)

.

The following diagram will help us visualise the situation better:

We can see that a right triangle is formed with sides  

x

,  

y

and  

r

, as well as an angle  

θ

.

We have to find the relation between the Cartesian and Polar coordinates, respectively.

By Pythagora's theorem, we get the result

r

=

x

2

+

y

The only properties we can say about  

θ

are its trigonometric functions:

sin

y

/

r

⇒

y

=

r

sin

θ

cos

θ

=

x

/

r

⇒

x

=

r

cos

So we have the following relations:

y

Now, we can see that saying

in the Rectangular system is equivalent to say

Carmen runs a video to DVD transfer business. She charges her customers $20.40 for each video transferred. Her expenses include
vovangra [49]

Answer:

A. p = $17.95n - $1,250.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit (p) = net revenue - expenditure

Net revenue = charge for transfer of n videos - expense for n blank DVD

charge per video transfer = $20.40

charge for n video transfer = $20.40 × n = $20.40n

expense per blank DVD = $2.45

expense for n blank DVD = $2.45 × n = $2.45n

Net revenue = $20.40n - $2.45n = $17.95n

expenditure = $1,250.00

Therefore, p = $17.95n - $1,250.00
