Answer:

Option C.

The distance from the point to the circle is 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The distance between the circle and the point will be the difference of the distance of the point from the center of circle  and the radius of the circle

step 1

Find the center and radius of the circle

we have

x^{2} +y^{2}-8y=0

Convert to radius center form

Complete the square

x^{2} +(y^{2}-8y+16)=0+16

Rewrite as perfect squares

x^{2} +(y-4)^{2}=16

so

The center is the point (0,4)

The radius is

r^{2}=16\\r=4\ units

step 2

Find the distance of the point from the center of circle

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

we have

(6,-4) and (0,4)

substitute the values

d=\sqrt{(4+4)^{2}+(0-6)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(-6)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{100}\ units

d=10\ units

step 3

Find the difference of the distance of the point from the center of circle  and the radius of the circle

10\ units-4\ units=6\ units

therefore

The distance from the point to the circle is 6 units

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

How do you solve <br> -7x+(-21)=41
alex41 [277]

Answer:

x = -62/7

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x+(-21)=41

-7x -21 =41

Add 21 to each side

-7x-21+21 = 41+21

-7x = 62

Divide by -7

-7x/-7 = 62/-7

x =- 62/7

Brooklyn has sold 70% of the 20 candy bars she is supposed to sell for her basketball team. How many candy bars did she sell alr
romanna [79]

Answer:

14 candy Bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's under the question before we attempt it.

Total number of Candy Brooklyn is supposed to sell = 20

Percentage of Candy Bars sold= 70%

To know the exact number of Candy sold, it's means we must know the exact value of 70% of 20.

To solve this, we just proceed with mathematical operations.

Therefore:

70% of 20

= 70 / 100 * 20

= 1400 / 100

= 14.

It therefore means that, Brooklyn sold 14 Candy Bars

Describe the steps you would take to solve for the variable x in the following
adoni [48]

Answer:

x =  19

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add 31 on both sides (you wanna get the "x" by itself)

ex: 2x - 31 = 7

          +31   +31

2. the 31s cancel each other out so now you add 31 + 7

2x       =  7

           +31

___________

             38

3. divide 2 on both sides so the 2s cancel each other out and only the x is left

ex: 2x / 2 = x         38 ( the 38 stands alone)

4. now divide 38/2 and you have your answer

X= 19
