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)

Choose the graph which matches the function. (2 points) <br> f(x) = 3x-4
vovangra [49]

The last image is the graph of y = 3^x

In fact, it is an increasing exponential function, and it passes through the points (0,1), which reflects the fact that 3^0=1 and (1,3), which reflects the fact that 3^1=3.

Now, y = 3^{x-4} is a child of the parent function we just described. Precisely, it is the result of the transformation f(x) \to f(x-4)

In general, every time you perform a transformation like f(x) \to f(x+k), you translate the graph horizontall, k units to the left if k is positive, and k units to the right if k in negative.

Since in this case k = - 4, we have a horizontal translation of 4 units to the right.

So, the correct option is the third one, because:

  • The first graph is the parent function translated 4 units to the left
  • The second graph is the parent function translated 4 units down
  • The third graph is the parent function translated 4 units to the right
  • The fourth graph is the parent function

Each week carrie works 40 hours she spend 15% of her time at register
VLD [36.1K]
Please, share the goal of the problem.  If Carrie works 40 hours per week and spends 15% of her time at the register, how much time does she NOT spend at the register?  

Subtract 15% from 100%; the result is 85%.  Now find 85% of 40 hours:

0.85(40 hours) = 34 hours.

Please note that I invented part of this problem.  Next time, share all of the info so that someone can help you solve YOUR particular problem.
