A cell phone company is looking to place a new tower to service 3 cities. In order for it to best service each city, it needs to

be equidistant from all 3 cities. What mathematical concept could they use to find a location that is equidistant from all 3 cities? Why is this a good method?

A circle is a collection of points all of which are on the circumference of the circle.  If you use algebra and (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 and the info contained in the coordinates (x,y) of each city, you can find h, k and r.  Then r is the (equal) distance between each city and the center of the circle, where the new tower will be built.

Given: 1; -5; -13 ; -23 ; ...<br><br> Derive a formula for the nth term in the pattern.
mylen [45]

Answer:

  f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the formula is ...

  f(n) = an^2 +bn +c

Then we have ...

  f(1) = 1 = a(1^2) +b(1) +c

  f(2) = -5 = a(2^2) +b(2) +c

  f(3) = -13 = a(3^2) +b(3) +c

__

Here's a way to solve these equations.

Subtract the first equation from the second:

  -6 = 3a +b . . . . . 4th equation

Subtract the second equation from the third:

  -8 = 5a +b . . . . . 5th equation

Subtract the fourth equation from the fifth:

  -2 = 2a

  a = -1

Then substituting into the 4th equation to find b, we have ...

  -6 = 3(-1) +b

  -3 = b

and ...

  1 = -1 +(-3) +c . . . . . substituting "a" and "b" into the first equation

  5 = c

The formula is ...

  f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5

Suppose that f(x)=x^2 and g(x)=-1/4(x+7)^2. Which statement best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x)?
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Both of these graphs are quadratics. They both form a parabola opening up

Step-by-step explanation:

The only difference between g(x) and f(x) is that g(x) is moved to the left 7 unit and has a horizontal stretch of 1/4
