Answer:

56.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we know that:

- Keisha swims 18 feet from one side of her circular pool to the other swimming straight through the center --> this means that the diameter of the swimming pool is 18 feet, so

d = 18 ft

- Then, she swims one time around the entire edge of her swimming pool. --> this means that she swims along the perimeter of the swimming pool

The perimeter of a circle is given by

p=\pi d

where d is the diameter. Therefore in this case, the length of Keisha's second swim is:

p=\pi \cdot d = 3.14 \cdot 18 =56.5 ft

A particular circle in the standard (x,y) coordinate
matrenka [14]
For any circle with Cartesian equation
(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2,
we have that the centre of the circle is (a,b), and the radius of the circle is r.

So in the case that 
(x-5)^2 + y^2 = 38,
we essentially have that
a = 5, b = 0, r^2 = 38.

So the centre of the circle is (5,0), and the radius is \sqrt{38}.

Diana put $8000 in a 10-year CD
Lena [83]

Th amount of money that Diana is left with is $8,430.23.

<h3>How much is Diana left with?
</h3>

The first step is to determine the interest earned in the first year and the total amount that was made in the 2 years.

The formula used to determine the future value with monthly compounding is:

P(1 + r)^( n x m)

Where:

  • P = present value
  • r = periodic interest rate
  • n = number of years
  • m = frequency of compounding

Total amount made in 2 years = $8000 x ( 1 + 5% / 12)^(12 x 2) = 8839.53

Interest earned in the first year = [ $8000 x ( 1 + 5% / 12)^(12) ] - 8000 = $409.29

Amount she is left with =  8839.53 - $409.29 = $8430.23

What number would complete the pattern? 107 98 90 83 77_68 65
Leviafan [203]
Going from 107 to 98 is (minus 9)
going from 98 to 90 is (minus 8)
going from 90 to 83 is (minus 7)
going from 83 to 77 is (minus 6)

following this pattern, the number after 77
is 77 minus 5 = 72

therefore your answer is 72

What is the smallest distance between the origin and a point on the graph of:y=1/sqrt(2)*(x^2-8)
AleksAgata [21]
What we are being asked here is to simply minimize distance. Also, note that we can write
f
(
x
)
=
√
x
as
y
=
√
x
.
Now, what is this "distance?" How do we find it? Well, if you think back to Algebra I or Geometry, you'll remember that the distance between two points
(
x
1
,
y
1
)
and
(
x
2
,
y
2
)
is given by:
√
(
y
2
−
y
1
)
2
+
(
x
2
−
x
1
)
2
. For example, the distance between the points
(
4
,
0
)
and
(
0
,
3
)
would be:
√
(
3
−
0
)
2
+
(
4
−
0
)
2
=
√
9
+
16
=
√

=

Ok, so what is
(
x
1
,
y
1
)
and
(
x
2
,
y
2
)
in our example?
(
x
1
,
y
1
)
is simple - it's just the point given in the problem,
(
4
,
0
)
. Because we don't know what
x
2
is, we'll just call it
x
for now. As for
y
2
, we don't know that either; and since
y
=
√
x
, we'll call it
√
x
.
Our formula then becomes:
√
(
√
x
−
0
)
2
+
(
x
−
4
)
2
=
√
(
√

)

x

−

x

=
√

−

We are being asked to minimize this distance, which we'll call
s
to make the following calculations easier. To minimize something, we have to take its derivative, so let's start there:
s
=
√
x

−

=

x
−

√
x

−

x

Now we set this equal to

and solve for

:

√

=

x
−
7
x
=

2
This is known as the critical value, and it represents the
x
-value for which the function is minimized. All we need to do now is find the corresponding
y
-value, using the definition of
y
:
y
=
√
x
. Substituing
7
2
for
x
:
y
=
√
7
2

y
≈
1.87
And voila, the
y
-value. We can now say that the minimum distance between
f
(
x
)
=
√
x
and the point
(
4
,
0
)
(the place where these two are closest) occurs at
(
7
2
,
1.87
)
. For a little extra fun, we can use the distance formula to see what the actual distance between the points is:
s
=
√
(
1.87
−
0
)

(
