There would be 625 students because 40% of students would be 250. If you divide 250 by 2 you get 125 which is 20%. Then you would multiply 125 and 5 and get 625.

Three cell phones towers can be modeled by the points X(6,0), Y(8,4), and Z(3,9). Determine the location of another cell phone t

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The location of the new cell phone tower is $(h,k) = (3,4)$ , and the equation of the circle is $x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the cell phone tower coincides with the location of a circunference passing through the three cell phone towers. By Analytical Geometry, the equation of the circle is represented by the following general formula:

$x^{2} + y^{2}+A\cdot x + B\cdot y +C = 0$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable.

$y$ - Dependent variable.

$A$ , $B$ , $C$ - Circunference constants.

Given the number of variable, we need the location of three distinct points:

$(x_{1},y_{1}) = (6,0)$

$36 +6\cdot A + C = 0$

$(x_{2},y_{2}) = (8,4)$

$80 + 8\cdot A + 4\cdot B + C = 0$

$(x_{3},y_{3}) = (3,9)$

$90 + 3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = 0$

Then, we have the following system of linear equations:

$6\cdot A + C = -36$ (2)

$8\cdot A +4\cdot B + C = -80$ (3)

$3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = -90$ (4)

The solution of this system is:

$A = -6$ , $B = -8$ , $C = 0$

By comparing the general form with the standard form of the equation of the circunference is:

$A = -2\cdot h$ (5)

$B = -2\cdot k$ (6)

$C = h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2}$ (7)

Where:

$h$ , $k$ - Coordinates of the center of the circle.

$r$ - Radius of the circle.

If we know that $A = -6$ , $B = -8$ and $C = 0$ , then coordinates of the center of the circle and its radius are, respectively:

$h = -\frac{A}{2}$

$k = -\frac{B}{2}$

$r = \sqrt{h^{2}+k^{2}-C}$

$h = 3$ , $k = 4$ , $r = 5$

The location of the new cell phone tower is $(h,k) = (3,4)$ , and the equation of the circle is $x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0$ .

PLEASE HELP GUYS! The math club is order tee shirts for each member. The tee shirts cost $12.50 each plus a one - time set - up

ser-zykov [4K]

So ($25)

find out how much 126 t-shirts will cost including the $25 set up fee.
so in calculator its (12.50 × 126) + 25. This gives you 1600.
Now you know the answer, you work your way backwards.

y = x + $25

I THINK THIS IS RIGHT IF ITS NOT PLEASE TELL ME
