Answer:

option : A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:4.

Now we need to find that to which point will point P will lie closer to i.e. either to Point A or to Point B.

Since Point P partition the directed line segment AB in the ratio 3:4 that means the The distance of P from A is some 3x for some arbitrary real number 'x'.

and the distance of P from B is '4x'.

Hence P is closest to A as the distance of P from A is shorter as compared to B.

Hence, option A is correct.

Christopher has breakfast at a cafe and the cost of his meal is \$36.00$36.00dollar sign, 36, point, 00. Because of the service,

Leokris [45]

Answer:

His total bill including the tip = $39.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Christopher has breakfast at a cafe and the cost of his meal is $36.00

Because of the service, he wants to leave a 10% tip. This means that he would be paying more than the original cost of the meal. The cost of tip would be determined by multiplying the original cost of the meal by 10%. This becomes

Cost of tip = 10/100 × 36.00 =

0.1× 36.00= $3.6

His total bill including the tip would be sum of the cost of the original bill + cost of the tip. It becomes

36.00 + 3.6 = $39.6

The equation of a circle is given below.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

(h,k) = (32,-4)

r = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a circle is given by:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ (1)

where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

You have the following equation:

$x^2+(y+4)^2=64x$ (2)

You first need to complete squares in order to obtain an equation of the form (1). Thus, you have that the second term must be in a perfect square trinomial:

2b = 64

b = 32

Then, you have to sum 32^2 and also subtract the same number in the expression (2):

$x^2-64x+(y+4)^2=0\\\\(x^2-64x+32^2)+(y+4)^2-32^2=0\\\\(x-32)^2+(y+4)^2=32^2$

you compare the last result with expression (1) and obtain that the raiuds of the circle is r = 32

Furthermore, the center of the circle is (h,k) = (32,-4)
