Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°</em>
So,
Answer:
a. 3/4 inches per minute
b. -1 1/8 inches per minute
c. B is fastest; 1 1/8 is more than 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>change</em> is a <em>difference</em>. A <em>rate of change</em> is <em>one difference divided by another</em>, usually the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
The change in elevation is the difference between the elevation at the end of the period (6 inches) and the elevation at the beginning of the period (3 inches). The change in time period is the difference between the end time (8 min) and the beginning time (4 min).
change in elevation per minute = (6 -3 inches)/(8 -4 min)
= (3 inches)/(4 min) = 3/4 inches/minute
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Similarly, ...
change in elevation per minute = (3 -7 1/2 inches)/(18 -14 min)
= (-4 1/2 inches)/(4 min) = -1 1/8 inches/minute
__
<h3>c.</h3>
We know that 3/4 is more than -1 1/8, but when we talk about the "fastest rate of change", we're generally interested in the magnitude--the value without the sign. That means we understand a rate of change of -1 1/8 inches per minute to be "faster" than a rate of change of 3/4 inches per minute.
The rate of change from Part B is fastest. 1 1/8 inches per minute is more than 3/4 inches per minute.
Answer:
(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1) = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the midpoint of the diameter, because that represents the center of the circle.
-1 + 7
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is xm = ---------- = 3
2
2 - 4
and the y-coordinate is ym = ---------- = -1
2
And so the center of this circle is at (3, -1).
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the square of the radius:
square of radius = 4^2 + (-3)^2 = 16 + 9 = 25
And so the equation of this circle is (x - 3)^2 + (y + 1) = 25
