a. The general equation for a circle centered at
with radius
is

The described circle has equation

We know the circle passes through the origin. This means that the equation above holds for
and
. The distance between any point on the circle and its center is the radius, so we can use this fact to determine
:

So the circle's equation is

b. If the distance between point B and the center is less than
, then B lies inside the circle. If the distance is greater than
, it falls outside the circle. Otherwise, if the distance is exactly
, then B lies on the circle.
The distance from B to the center is

, so
, which means B falls outside the circle.
Answer: x=7, EF=12, FG=15
Step by Step:
(4x-16) + (3x-6) = 7x-22
7x-22=27
7x=27+22
7x=49
x=7
4(7)-16= 12
3(7)-6=15
Answer:
B, 33%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us find the original price of four chairs without the special deal, and <u>compare</u> it with the deal to find the percent savings.
Step 1:
A customer must buy 4 chairs costing $75 each to recieve the deal. Let us <u>multiply</u> 4 by 75 to find the total cost without the deal:

Step 2:
We now know the original cost of the 4 chairs, and the price of 4 chairs with a deal. Let us <u>subtract the difference of costs</u> and convert it into a <u>percentage</u> to find percent savings:

%
<u>Therefore, B, the percent savings is 33%.</u>
