Answer:
1. B 2. B
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The formula for circumference is C= pi times diameter
Radius is half of diameter, so you'd multiply 14 times 2 which gives you 28. Since it's asking for it in pi, it'll be 28 pi.
2. I think instead of circumference, it's asking for area because if it was asking for circumference the answer would have been 6.6 pi, but that answer isn't there. So if it's asking for area, the formula is A= pi(r²) They gave the diameter instead. Remember, the radius is half of the diameter, so in order to get the radius, you'd divide 6.6 by 2 and get 3.3. Then, multiply 3.3 with the number itself, and you'll get 10.89.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
It can be determined if a quadratic function given in standard form has a minimum or maximum value from the sign of the coefficient "a" of the function. A positive value of "a" indicates the presence of a minimum point while a negative value of "a" indicates the presence of a maximum point
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that describes a parabola is a quadratic function
The standard form of a quadratic function is given as follows;
f(x) = a·(x - h)² + k, where "a" ≠ 0
When the value of part of the function a·x² after expansion is responsible for the curved shape of the function and the sign of the constant "a", determines weather the the curve opens up or is "u-shaped" or opens down or is "n-shaped"
When "a" is negative, the parabola downwards, thereby having a n-shape and therefore it has a maximum point (maximum value of the y-coordinate) at the top of the curve
When "a" is positive, the parabola opens upwards having a "u-shape" and therefore, has a minimum point (minimum value of the y-coordinate) at the top of the curve.
In solving this problem we can consider Earth to be a sphere. When we have a circle, then we can use this formula to find arc length:

Where:
L= arc length (in this problem it is disance we need to travel)
R = radius of circle (in this problem it is equal to a radius of Earth)
C = angle we need to pass
We are told that two cities lie halfway around the world. If we fly to west this means angle is 180°.
This gives an arc length of:

If we want to fly to north we need to go to 90° northern latidtude and then back to 17° latitude. This means angle is:
C=2*(90-17)=2*73°=146°
This gives an arc length of:

We can see that flying north is shorter. It is shorter by:
12440.71 miles - 10090.8 miles = 2349.91 miles
