Answer:

(x-2)^2+y^2=20

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of a circle P, and we know that the square RSTU is inscribed in the circle, this means that if we replace the points:

R(0,4) S(6,2) T(4,-4) and U(-2,-2) the equation must be verified.

Then, we have to replace the points in each option to see which one is the correct answer.

Option A: (x-2)^2+y^2=68

  • R(0,4):

(x-2)^2+y^2=68\\(0-2)^2+4^2=68\\(-2)^2+16=68\\4+16=68\\20\neq 68

We can see that R doesn't belong to the equation of the circle.

We could replace the rest of the points in the equation, but since we already know that R does not belong to the circle, we already know that it is not the right option.

Option B: (x+2)^2+y^2=20

  • R(0,4):

(x+2)^2+y^2=20\\(0+2)^2+4^2=20\\2^2+4^2=20\\4+16=20\\20=20

The point R(0,4) verifies the equation.

  • S(6,2):

(x+2)^2+y^2=20\\(6+2)^2+2^2=20\\8^2+4^2=20\\64+16=20\\80\neq 20

The point S doesn't belong to the equation of the circle, then we already know that this isn't the correct option.

Option C: (x-2)^2+y^2=20

  • R(0,4):

(x-2)^2+y^2=20\\(0-2)^2+4^2=20\\(-2)^2+16=20\\4+16=20\\20=20

The point R verifies the equation.

  • S(6,2):

(x-2)^2+y^2=20\\(6-2)^2+2^2=20\\4^2+4=20\\16+4=20\\20=20

The point S verifies the equation.

  • T(4,-4):

(x-2)^2+y^2=20\\(4-2)^2+(-4)^2=20\\2^2+16=20\\4+16=20\\20=20

The point T verifies the equation.

  • U(-2,-2):

(x-2)^2+y^2=20\\(-2-2)^2+(-2)^2=20\\(-4)^2+4=20\\16+4=20\\20=20

The point U verifies the equation.

<em>We can see that the four points RSTU verifies the equation. This means that the square RSTU is inscribed in circle P whose equation is: </em>(x-2)^2+y^2=20

<em>We can see that the graph of the equation verifies the answer.</em>

How do you complete this One-Step equation?<br>5 1/2 + p = 6
dalvyx [7]

5 1/2 + p = 6

subtract 5 /12 from each side

5 1/2  - 5 1/2+ p = 6 - 5 1/2

p = 6 - 5 1/2

borrow from the 6

p = 5 2/2 - 5 1/2

p = 1/2

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

y = 8x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Use (0,50) and (10,130)

Slope: m = (130-50)/(10-0) = 8

Y-intercept is 50

y = 8x + 50

What is the common ratio for geometric sequence: 5,15,45,135 ?​
serg [7]

Answer:

the common ratio is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve for the common ratio, I like to take the second term and divide it by the first term

15/5 = 3

then I will check the rest of the terms

15*3 = 45

45*3 = 135

It looks like the common ratio is correct!
