Answer:

x=2  y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar so we can use ratios to solve

15            20

-----  = -------------

x+4         8

Using cross products

8*15 = 20 (x+4)

120 = 20(x+4)

Divide each side by 20

120/20 = 20(x+4)/20

6 = x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

6-4 = x+4-4

2 =x

25            20

-----  = -------------

y           8

Using cross products

25*8 = 20y

200 =20y

Divide by 20

200/20 = 20y/20

10=y

The general form of the equation of a circle is x2 + y2 + 42x + 38y − 47 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is (x
DaniilM [7]
We have the following equation:
 x2 + y2 + 42x + 38y - 47 = 0
 We rewrite the equation:
 x2 + 42x + y2 + 38y - 47 = 0
 x2 + 42x + y2 + 38y = 47
 Rewriting we have:
 x2 + 42x + (42/2) ^ 2 + y2 + 38y + (38/2) ^ 2 = 47 + (42/2) ^ 2 + (38/2) ^ 2
 x2 + 42x + 441 + y2 + 38y + 361 = 47 + 441 + 361
 Rewriting we have:
 (x + 21) ^ 2 + (y + 19) ^ 2 = 849
 The center of the circle is:
 (x, y) = (-21, -19)
 The radio is:
 r = root (849)
 r = (849) ^ 2

 A circle of the same radius is given by:
 x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 50x - 30y + 1 = 0
 Let's check:
 x ^ 2 - 50x + y ^ 2 - 30y + 1 = 0
 x ^ 2 - 50x + y ^ 2 - 30y = - 1
 x ^ 2 - 50x + (-50/2) ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 30y + (-30/2) ^ 2 = - 1 + (-30/2) ^ 2 + (-50/2) ^ 2
 x ^ 2 - 50x + (-50/2) ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 30y + (-30/2) ^ 2 = - 1 + 225 + 625
 (x-25) ^ 2 + (y-15) ^ 2 = 849
 Answer:
 
(x + 21) ^ 2 + (y + 19) ^ 2 = 849
 
(x, y) = (-21, -19)
 
r = (849) ^ 2
 
x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 50x - 30y + 1 = 0

9. This piecewise function represents the Social Security taxes for 2009. How much did Rachel pay in Social
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the piecewise function represents the Social Security taxes for 2009.

Tax=\begin{cases}0.062x & \text{ when } 0< x < 106,800 \\ \$6,621.60 & \text{ when } x > 106,800 \end{cases}

We need to find Rachel's security tax if she earned $102,000 in 2009.

Since 102,000 lies in 0, therefore

Tax=0.062x

Put x=102000.

Tax=0.062(102000)

Tax=6324

So, the Social  Security tax is $6324.

Therefore, the correct option is c.
