Find a point on the y-axis that is equidistant from the points (8, −8) and (1, 1).
artcher [175]

\text{We know that any point on the y-axis is of the form (0, y),}\\
\text{because on y-axis we have x=0.}\\
\\
\text{So let (0, y) be the point on the y-axis that is equidistance from}\\
\text{the points }(8,-8) \text{ and }(1,1)\\
\\
\text{so using the distance formula, we have}\\
\\
\text{Distance between (0, y) and }(8,-8)=\text{Distance between (0,y) and }(1,1)\\
\\
\Rightarrow \sqrt{(0-8)^2+(y-(-8))^2}=\sqrt{(0-1)^2+(y-1)^2}

\Rightarrow \sqrt{64+(y+8)^2}=\sqrt{1+(y-1)^2}\\
\\
\text{Squaring both sides, we get}\\
\\
(\sqrt{64+(y+8)^2})^2=(\sqrt{1+(y-1)^2})^2\\
\\
\Rightarrow 64+(y+8)^2=1+(y-1)^2\\
\\
\Rightarrow 64+(y^2+16y+64)=1+(y^2-2y+1)\\
\\
\Rightarrow y^2+16y+128=y^2-2y+2\\
\\
\Rightarrow y^2+16y-y^2+2y=2-128\\
\\
\Rightarrow 18y=-126\\
\\
\Rightarrow y=\frac{-126}{18}\\
\\
\Rightarrow y=-7

So the point on the y-axis that is equidistant from the points (8,-8) and (1,1) is: (0,-7)

Joe and Sue were trying to calculate the square inches of paper needed to create a cone for the cotton candy. The radius
Feliz [49]

The correct statements are Neither was correct and Joe used the height and radius to calculate the slant height.

<h3>How to find the square inches of paper needed.</h3>

The square inches of paper needed A = surface area of cone +  area of overlap

<h3>Surface area of cone</h3>

The surface area of the cone is given by A = πr[r + √(h² + r²)] where

  • r = radius of cone = 2 in and
  • h = height of cone = 6 in.

So, A = πr[r + √(h² + r²)]

A = π × 2 × [2 + √(6² + 2²)]

A = π × 2 × [2 + √(36 + 4)]

A = π × 2 × [2 + √40]

A = π × 2 × [2 + 2√10]

A = 2π[2 + 2√10]

A = 4π + 4π√10

<h3>The area of overlap</h3>

The area of overlap A' = wL where

  • w = width of overlap = 1/2 in and
  • L = slant height of cone = √(h² + r²)

So, A' = wL

A' = w[√(h² + r²)]

A' =  1/2[√(6² + 2²)]

A' =  1/2[√(36 + 4)]

A' =  1/2[√40]

A' =  1/2 × 2√10

A' = √10

So, the number of square inches of paper needed is A" = A + A'

=  4π + 8π√10 + √10

Since the number of square inches of paper needed is 4π + 4π√10 + √10

So, the correct statements are Neither was correct and Joe used the height and radius to calculate the slant height.

Are G and F mutually exclusive events? Explain. G and F are mutually exclusive because if you are not a finalist, then you canno
Alika [10]

Answer: G and F are mutually exclusive because they cannot occur together

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the definition of mutually exclusive events,

The events which can not occur together and probability of them occurring together is 0 are known as mutually exclusive events.

The first statement gives an implication that if one happens then other happens meaning they could both still happen so it is not true.

The second statement contradict the question about being mutually exclusive events.

The third statement also is a implication that if one event occurs then other does or does not occur.

The last statement is correct one that conforms with the question and obeys the definition of mutually exclusive events.
