Tell why sometimes you write the percent as a fraction and other times as a decimal when you find the percent of a number.

A percentage is a portion out of 100, and because it is a portion of a whole it can be written as a fraction of an amount (in this case a fraction of 100). You can also rewrite this as a decimal because a fraction is essentially the same thing as a division problem and when you divide a number by 100 you usually get a decimal (if the numerator is smaller than 100 that is), and also because decimals are similar to fractions because they represent parts a whole unit for instance the percentage 72% is equivalent to the fraction 72/100 which is the same as 72 divided by 100 which is the same as the decimal 0.72.

Sorry for the long explanation but I hope this helped!

Analyze the graph below and complete the instructions as follows.

Answer:

Option A:

x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation for a circle centered in the point (a, b) and of radius R is given by:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

So the first thing we need to find is the center of the circle.

We can see that the center is at:

x = 0

y = 2

Then the center is at the point (0, 2)

Now we want our circle to pass through point 2, located at a distance of 2 units from the radius of the first circle.

So the distance between the center and point 2 is 2 units plus the radius of the smaller circle:

And the radius of the smaller circle is one unit.

Then, the radius of a circle centered at (0, 2) that passes through point 2 is:

R = 1 + 2 = 3

Then we have a circle centered at (0, 2) and of radius R = 3

Replacing these in the equation for a circle we get:

(x - 0)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 3^2

x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9

The correct option is A

5. Find the value of x that makes BC || DE.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, you need to set up a proportion:

\frac{x-2}{15} = \frac{x-1}{18}

Then cross multiply:

15x - 15 = 18x + 36

Then subtract 15x from both sides:

-15 = 3x + 36

Subtract 36 from both sides:

-51 = 3x

Finally, divide both sides by 3:

x = -7
