The correct answer is: (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point on circle = P = (-5,-3)

Centre = C = (-2,1)

The distance between C and P is the radius of circle.

So,

$CP = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\= \sqrt{(-5+2)^2+(-3-1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}\\= \sqrt{9+16}\\=\sqrt{25}\\=5\ units$

Hence,

r = 5 units

The general form of equation of circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2$

Here (h,k) are the coordinates of circle

(h,k) = (-2,1)

Putting the values in standard equation

$(x-(-2))^2+(y-1)^2 = (5)^2\\(x+2)^2+(y-1)^2 = 25$

Hence,

The correct answer is: (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 25

What types of numbers are undefined when they are under a radical sign? If you were dealing with the number √-1, would it be def

Misha Larkins [42]

The square root of a a negative integer is imaginary.
It would still be a negative under a square root if you multiplied it by 2, therefor it will still be imaginary, or I’m assuming as your book calls it, undefined.
2•(sqrt-1) = 2sqrt-1

If you add a number to -1 itself, specifically 1 or greater it will become a positive number or 0 assuming you just add 1. In that case it would be defined.
-1 + 1 = 0
-1 + 2 = 1

If you add a number to the entire thing “sqrt-1” it will not be defined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1+ (sqrt-1)

If you subtract a number it will still have a negative under a square root, meaning it would be undefined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1 + (sqrt-1)

however if you subtract a negative number from -1 itself, you end up getting a positive number or zero. (Subtracting a negative number is adding because the negative signs cancel out).
-1 - -1 = 0
-1 - -2 = 1

If you squared it you would get -1, which is defined
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1

and if you cubed it, you would get a negative under a square root again, therefor it would be undefined.
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1 • sqrt-1 = -1(sqrt-1)

Sorry if this answer is confusing, I don’t have a scientific keyboard, I’ll get one soon.

A group of students made trees out of paper for a scene in a school play. The trees are shaped like square pyramids. The base is

Answer:

26.4ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

I first converted the centimeter values to feet

140Cm x 30.48 = 4.59

70cm x 30.48 = 2.3

the paper required is approximately equal to the area of the pyramid.

area of pyramid is equal to area of triangle + base²

Are of triangle = 1/2 x b xh

= 4 x 1/2 x4.59x2.3 + (2.3)²

= 2 x 4.59 x 2.3 + 5.29

= 26.4 feet²

therefore it will take 26.4 feet² paper to make each tree, including the bottom.
