What is iambic pentameter?

Mathematics

Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago

An "iamb" is a unit of speech or poetry that's made of
one unstressed syllable plus a stressed syllable after it.

Examples:

" new YORK "

" ma DRID "

" that's IT ! "

" hel LO "

"Penta..." means "five", like in a "pentagon".

"Pentameter" means a line of speech or poetry that has five units in it, no matter what
their form is.

"Iambic pentameter" is a line of speech or poetry that has five 'iambs' in it.

Example: 

" to BE  or NOT  to BE  that IS  the QUES "                                     (chun)


The lyrics (words) to the 'blues' are almost all Iambic Pentameter
or close to it:

__ See  that SPI  der CRAWL  in' UP  that WALL


If you SEE    me COM   in', HEIST  your WIN   dow HIGH .
If you SEE    me COM   in', HEIST  your WIN   dow HIGH .  
If you SEE    me GO  in', baby, HANG   your HEAD   and CRY.

It's been THREE  weeks SINCE  my sweet BA  by SAID  goodBYE .
It's been THREE  weeks SINCE  my sweet BA  by SAID  goodBYE .
And NOW    my sweet DOG    has EAT  en ALL OF  my sweet PIE . 

The correct choice is 'd' .

Answer:

X >>>>> Y

–1 >>>> 16

0 >>>>> 8

1 >>>>> 4

2 >>>>> 2

3 >>>>> 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above,

y = 8 × (½)ˣ

When x = –1, y =?

y = 8 × (½)ˣ

y = 8 × (½)¯¹

y = 8 × 2

y = 16

When x = 1, y =?

y = 8 × (½)ˣ

y = 8 × (½)¹

y = 8 × ½

y = 4

When x = 2, y =?

y = 8 × (½)ˣ

y = 8 × (½)²

y = 8 × ¼

y = 2

When x = 3, y =?

y = 8 × (½)ˣ

y = 8 × (½)³

y = 8 × ⅛

y = 1

SUMMARY:

X >>>>> Y

–1 >>>> 16

0 >>>>> 8

1 >>>>> 4

2 >>>>> 2

3 >>>>> 1

What is the equation of a circle with center (−8, 3) and radius 8?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

x^2 + y^2 + 16x + 6y + 9 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for equation of a circle

(x - a)^2 + (y + b)^2 = r^2

(a, b) - the center

r - radius of the circle

Inserting the values given in the question

(-8,3) and r = 8

a - -8

b - 3

r - 8

[ x -(-8)]^2 + (y+3)^2 = 8^2

(x + 8)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 8^2

Solving the brackets

( x + 8)(x + 8) + (y +3)(y+3) = 64

x^2 + 16x + 64 + y^2 + 6y + 9 = 64

Rearranging algebrally,.

x^2 + y^2 + 16x + 6y + 9+64 - 64 = 0

Bringing in 64, thereby changing the + sign to -

Therefore, the equation of the circle =

x^2 + y^2 + 16x + 6y + 9 = 0
