Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have functions of r(θ)

In our graph, we can see that the minimum value of r is when θ = 0°, and the maximum value is when θ = 180°.

We also know that the graph is in the square (-5, 5)x(-5, 5) and you can see that the maximum radius is almost less than 5.

Then let's analyze the options:

A) r = 3 - 2*cos(θ)

the maximum is at the right angle, but the maximum is:

r = 3 -2*(-1) = 5, so this maximum value is bigger than the one in the graph.

B) r = 3 - sin(θ)

For the sin functions, the maximum and minimum do not correspond with the values i write earlier, so we can discard this option.

C) r = 3 - cos(θ)

The maximum is: r = 3 - (-1) = 4, so this may be the correct answer.

the minimum is r = 3 - 1 = 2,

this is a possible equation for our circle.

D) r = 2 - 2*cos(θ)

Here, when θ = 0, we have: r = 2 - 2*1 = 0, but in the graph we can see that the radius is not 0 when θ = 0, so we can discard this option.

So the only option that makes sense is option C.

If the weight of a package is multiplied by 5/7 the result is 40.5 pounds. Find the weight of the package.
ololo11 [35]
Well, it would become 5/7x=40.5. Divide both sides by 5/7, so it is 40.5 * by the reciprocal of 5/7 (7/5). The answer is 56.7 pounds.

The total charge on 7 particles is −42 units. All the particles have the same charge.
qwelly [4]
If they have the same charge
x+x+x+x+x+x+x=-42
7x=-42
x=-6
so to check our answer
-6-6-6-6-6-6-6=-42
-12-12-12-6=-42
-24-18=-42
-42=-42
