A diameter of a circle has endpoints p(-10,-2) and Q(4,6)

Answer:

a. (-3,2)

b. sqrt65

c.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To find the center of the circle, you can think of it just like finding the midpoint between the two endpoints. To find a midpoint between two endpoints, you take the average of the x values to get the x coordinate, and you take the average of the y values to get the y coordinate of the midpoint. Therefore, if (-10, -2) is (x1, y1) and (4, 6) is (x2, y2), the midpoint/center of the circle would be:

( (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2 ). When you plug in our x and y values, you get (-3, 2).

b. To find the radius of a circle, you need to know the center/midpoint of the circle which we solved for in part a. The formula for finding the radius of a circle with the center is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 for (h, k) as the center. The coordinates of the center that we found earlier for this circle are (-3, 2). With that, we just plug in our numbers into the formula, and we get:

(x+3)^2 + (y-2)^2 = r^2. Now, to get r, we can choose one of the original two endpoints given and plug in the x and y coordinates from that point into this equation. I like (4, 6), so I'm going to plug in 4 for x and 6 for y, and so we get (4+3)^2 + (6-2)^2 = r^2 which equals 49 + 16 = r^2 when simplified. 49 plus 16 is equal to 65, so we get 65 = r^2. To finally get r, we square root both sides of the equation to get r =  sqrt65 which is already in the simplest radical form.

c. The circle equation is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, like I said in part b. Therefore, we already have our circle equation! We just plug in our center points and we get (x+3)^2 + (y-2)^2 = sqrt65. This is usually an equation a question will give you for a circle, and with this information, they will expect you to find the center (h, k) or the circle and it's radius, r.

A town has a population of 12000 and grows at 5% every year. What will be the population after 12 years, to the nearest whole nu
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

  21,550

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase of 5% means the population is multiplied by 100% +5% = 1.05. This occurs each year for 12 years, so the multiplier is ...

  1.05¹² ≈ 1.7958563

When the initial population is multiplied by this factor, it becomes ...

  12,000×1.7958563 ≈ 21,550

I think the Honda and Dodge have the same ratio. If you do the math, the ratio will come out to (12,1) or 12 for both types of cars.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

the slope is 485

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope form of a line is y=mx+b, or in this case, p(n)=mn+b. The coefficient of n is 485, giving you the slope.
