The choices are missing, but we can solve the problem from the given information

Answer:

The equation which represents the circle is (x - 2)² + (y + 1)² = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where

  • (h , k) are the coordinates of its center
  • r is the radius of it

∵ The coordinates of the center of the circle are (2 , -1)

∴ h = 2 and k = -1

The radius of the circle is the segment whose join the center of the circle and any point on the edge of the circle

∵ The circle passes through point (-2 , -1)

∴ The radius of the circle is the distance from the center (2 , -1)

    and the point (-2 , -1)

The y-coordinates of the two points are equal that means the radius is a horizontal segment and its length is the difference between their x-coordinates

∵ r = 2 - (-2)

∴ r = 4

Now let us substitute h, k, and r in the form of the equation of the circle

∵ (x - 2)² + (y - -1)² = (4)²

∴ (x - 2)² + (y + 1)² = 16

The equation which represents the circle is  (x - 2)² + (y + 1)² = 16

Is 3pi/2pi a rational number or an irrational number? Explain your reasoning
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

It is rational

Step-by-step explanation:

The pi terms cancel out when you divide. This is due to the rule x/x = 1 where x is any number you want except x cannot be zero. So replace x with pi and we have pi/pi = 1

Therefore,

(3pi)/(2pi) = (3/2)*(pi/pi)

(3pi)/(2pi) = (3/2)*1 .... use the rule mentioned above

(3pi)/(2pi) = 3/2

we get a fraction or a ratio of two whole numbers, so this proves that the given expression is rational.
