The formula/equation for the graph of a circle is:
______________________________________________________
   (x − h)²  +<span> </span> (y − k)² =  r²  ;
in which:  
          " (h, k) " ; are the coordinate of the point of the center of the circle;
           "r" is the length of the "radius" ; for which we want to determine;
_______________________________________________________
We are given the following equation of the graph of a particular circle:
_______________________________________________________
          →  (x − 4)²  +  (y + 12)² =  17² ;
which is in the correct form:
→  " (x − h)²  +  (y − k)² =  r²  " ;
 in which:  " h = 4 " ; 
                  " k = -12" ; 
                   "r = 17 " ;  which is the "radius" ; which is our answer.
          →  { Note that: "k = NEGATIVE  12" } ;
→  Since the equation <u>for this particular circle</u> contains the expression:             _________________________________________________________    
                      →     "...(y + k)² ..." ;  
          
[as opposed to the standard form:  "...(y − k)² ..." ] ; 
_________________________________________________________
→  And since the coordinates of the center of a circle are represented by: 
            " (h, k) " ;  
 
→  which are:  " (4, -12) " ;  (<u>for this particular circle</u>) ; 
_________________________________________________________
→  And since:  " k = -12 " ;  (<u>for this particular circle</u>) ;
_________________________________________________________ 
then: 
 " [y − k ] ²  =  [ y − (k) ] ²  =  " [ y − (-12) ] ² " ;
                                    
                                         =  " ( y + 12)² "  ; 
                                    
{NOTE:  Since:  "subtracting a negative" is the same as "adding a positive" ; 
           →   So;  " [ y − (-12 ] " = " [ y + (⁺ 12) ] " = " (y + 12) " 
___________________________________________________  
Note:  The above explanation is relevant to confirm that the equation is, in fact, in "proper form"; to ensure that the:  radius, "r" ;  is:  "17" .
___________________________________________________
           →    Since:  "r  =  17 " ;  
           →  The radius is:  " 17 " ;
          which is:  Answer choice:  [D]:  "17" .

Answer:
b. 75
Step-by-step explanation:
a(n) = a1 + d(n-1)
a(n) = 8.5 + 3.5(n - 1)
a(20) =  8.5 + 3.5(20 - 1)
a(20) =  8.5 + 3.5(19)
a(20) = 8.5  + 66.5
a(20) = 75

Answer:
5x + 32 < 50
Step-by-step explanation:
On a particular airline, bags checked in must weigh less than 50 pounds. Betty packed 32 pounds of clothes and five gifts that weigh the same amount.
If each gift weighs w pounds, then the weight of five gifts will be 5w pounds and an additional 32 pounds of clothes will make it total (32 + 5w) pounds.  
Now, this total weight has to be less than 50 pounds.
Therefore, the inequality equation that can be used to find the possible weight of each gift, w is  
5x + 32 < 50 (Answer)
