Answer:

-40

Step-by-step explanation:

f(a) = a³ - a² + a - 1

f(-3) = (-3)³ - (-3)² + (-3) - 1

f(-3) = (-27) - (9) + (-3) -1

f(-3) = -27 - 9 -3 - 1

f(-3) = -40

Match the circle equations in general form with their corresponding equations in standard form. Not all will be used.

Xelga [282]

The standard form of the equation of a circumference is given by the following expression:

 $(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2} \\ \\ where \ (h, k) \ is \ the \ center \ of \ the \ circumference \ and \ r \ the \ radius$

On the other hand, the general form is given as follows:

 $x^{2}+y^{2}+Dx+Ey+F=0 \\ \\ where: \\ D=-2h, \ E=-2k, \ F=h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2}$ 

In this way, we can order the mentioned equations as follows:

Equations in Standard Form:

 $\bold{a)} \ (x-6)^{2}+(y-4)^{2}=56 \\ \bold{b)} \ (x-2)^{2} + (y+6)^{2}=60 \\ \bold{c)} \ (x+2)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=18 \\ \bold{d)} \ (x+1)^{2}+(y-6)^{2}=46$

Equations in General Form:

$\bold{1)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x+12y-20=0 \\ \bold{2)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}+6x-8y-10=0 \\ \bold{3)} \ 3x^{2}+3y^{2}+12x+18y-15=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 3, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}+4x+6y-5=0 \\ \\ \bold{4)} \ 5x^{2}+5y^{2}-10x+20y-30=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 5, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+4y-6=0 \\ \\ \bold{5)} \ 2x^{2}+2y^{2}-24x-16y-8=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 2, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}-12x-8y-4=0$

$\bold{6)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-12y$

So let's match each equation:

$\bold{From \ a)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(6,4),\ r=2\sqrt{14} \\ D=-12, \ E=-8 \\ F=-4$

Then, its general form is:

$x^{2}+y^{2}-12x-8y-4=0$

First. a) matches 5) 

$\bold{From \ b)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(2,-6),\ r=2\sqrt{15} \\ D=-4, \ E=12 \\ F=-20$

Then, its general form is:

$x^{2}+y^{2}-4x+12y-20=0$

Second. b) matches 1) 

$\bold{From \ c)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(-2,-3),\ r=3\sqrt{2} \\ D=4, \ E=6 \\ F=-5$

Then, its general form is:

$x^{2}+y^{2}+4x+6y-5=0$

Third. c) matches 3)

$\bold{From \ d)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(-1,6),\ r=\sqrt{46} \\ D=2, \ E=-12, \ F=-9$

Then, its general form is: $x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-12y-9=0$

Fourth. d) matches 6)

Answer: $3+\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression shown in the picture:

$\frac{7}{3-\sqrt{2} }$

You need to use a process called "Ratinalization".

By definition, using Rationalization you can rewrite the expression in its simplest form so there is not Radicals in its denominator.

Then, in order to simplify the expression, you can follow the following steps:

Step 1. You need to multiply the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by $3+\sqrt{2}$ , which is the conjugate of the denominator $3-\sqrt{2}$ .
