Answer

16π cm ≈ 50.2655 cm

Step-by-step explanation

To find the circumference of a circle, we can use the equation C = 2πr.

C stands for the circumference while r stands for the radius. We can see that there is a proportional positive linear relationship between radius and circumference for all circles, and that to find circumference when we have a radius value, we multiply the radius value by 2π.

The value of π, also called pi, is a constant and is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter (the diameter is twice the radius, hence the 2 in the equation). Note that π is a constant and applies to all circles because all circles are similar.

Since we know the value of r, or the radius, given as 8 cm in the question, we can plug this value into the equation C = 2πr from earlier.

C = 2πr (plug in 8 cm for the radius)

C = 2π * 8

C = 16π cm

Since the radius is in units of cm (centimeters), the circumference is also in units of cm (centimeters).

16π cm is the exact value of the circumference. However, if we want this circumference in decimal form, we would multiply 16 by the decimal form of π which is approximately 3.1416. Note that π actually has an infinite amount of decimals and that this 3.1416 is actually a rounded π value

C = 16π

C ≈ 16 * 3.1416

C ≈ 50.2655 cm rounded to four decimal places

Eli and Karl each throw a basketball straight up in the air at the same time. Eli is standing on a deck and the height of his ba

tino4ka555 [31]

We are to find the time at which the height of basketball thrown by Eli and Karl is equal. We have the functions which model the heights of both basketballs. So by equating the functions representing the height of both basketballs we can find the value of x from that equation at which the height is same for both basketballs.

$-4.9 x^{2} +12x+2.5=-4.9 x^{2} +14x \\ \\ 
12x+2.5=14x \\ \\ 
2.5=2x \\ \\ 
x=1.25$

Thus after 1.25 seconds the height of basketballs thrown by Eli and Karl will be at the same height. This can be verified by finding the heights of both at x=1.25

For Eli:
$Height=f(1.25)=-4.9 (1.25)^{2}+12(1.25)+2.5=9.84375$

For Karl:
$Height=f(1.25)=-4.9 (1.25)^{2}+14(1.25)=9.84375$

Thus height of both basketball is equal after 1.25 seconds

Carlos is using the quadratic formula to find the solutions of y=3x^2-5x-2. Which of the following will simplify to the correct

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

$Fx=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation in one variable given by the general expression:

$ax^2+bx+c$

Where:

$a\neq 0$

The roots of this equation can be found using the quadratic formula, which is given by:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

So:

$y(x)=3x^2-5x-2=0$

As you can see, in this case:

$a=3\\b=-5\\c=-2$

Using the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(3)(-2)} }{2(3)}=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}$

Therefore, the answer is:

$Fx=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}$

5x+6y=7 need to find the slope intercept and standard form

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The problem is already in standard form but to get it into slope intercept form you rewrite the equation so it looks like
6y=-5x+7 divide all by 6
y=-5/6x+7/6
slope being -5/6 and b being 7/6
