The area for a semi circle in Cartesian coordinate system with the flat edge against the x-axis is:A=∫0r2−x2√∫−rrdxdy
Bounding limits for x are from -r to r. And for y, this comes from the equation for a circle:x2+y2=r2
Solve for y:y=±r2−x2−−−−−−√
But since we are only dealing with a semi circle, we can always look at the positive answer. 
To convert to a polar coordinate system, we used some equations you have probably seen:x=rcosθy=rsinθdxdy=rdrdθ
The substitute to convert to polar coordinate system:A=∫0π∫0rrdrdθSolve this for the area.A=πr2/2

To find the x coordinate of the centroid:x=1/A∫∫xdxdyorx=1/A∫0π∫0rrcosθ(rdrdθ)Solve and you will find x = 0 which intuitively makes sense.
Similar for the y coordinate of the centroid:y=1/A∫∫ydxdyory=1/A∫0π∫0rrsinθ(rdrdθ)Solve and you will find y=4r/3π
This means the centroid of a semicircle is at: (0,4r/3π)

A company has two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of 5x+17 and 3y-4,respectively.
Troyanec [42]

Complete question :

A company has two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of 5x + 11 items and 2x - 3 items, respectively, where x represents a minimum quantity. The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second plant?

Answer:

3x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Production level of plant 1 = 5x + 11

Production level of plant 2 = 2x - 3

The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second plant :

Plant 1 production - plant 2 production

(5x + 11) - (2x - 3)

Open the bracket :

5x + 11 - 2x + 3

5x - 2x + 11 + 3

3x + 14

Daily production of plant 1 exceeds that of plant 2 by 3x + 14

Write the equation for a circle with a center at (5,-2) and a radius of 4.
choli [55]

Answer:

(x-5)^2+(y+2)^2=4^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is: ( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2 where ( h, k ) is the center and r is the radius. Therefore, the equation in this instance is (x-5)^2+(y+2)^2=4^2.
