Answer:

3135

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

a1 = 6

Use t4 - t3 to get d

t4 = 27

t3 = 20

Step One

Find a1 and d

a1 = 6

d = t4 - t3

d = 27 - 20

d = 7

Step Two

Find the 30th Term

tn= a1 + (n -1 )*d

t30 = 6 + (30 - 1) * 7

t30 = 6 + 29*7

t30 = 6 + 203

t30 = 209

Step Three

Find the sum using Sum = (a + t30)*n/2

n = 30 given

a1 = 6 given

t30 = 209 calculated from step 2

Sum = (a1 + t30)*n/2 Substitute

Sum = (6+ 209)*30/2 Combine like terms and divide by 2

sum = 215 * 15 Multiply

Sum = 3135 Answer

The endpoints of a diameter of a circle are (6,2) and (−2,5) . What is the standard form of the equation of this circle?

Paul [167]

Answer:

The standard form of the given circle is

$(x-2)^2+(y-\frac{7}{2})^2=73$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the end points of a diameter of a circle are (6,2) and (-2,5);

Now to find the standard form of the equation of this circle:

The center is (h,k) of the circle is the midpoint of the given diameter

midpoint formula is $M=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})$

Let $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ be the given points (6,2) and (-2,5) respectively.

$M=(\frac{6-2}{2},\frac{2+5}{2})$

$M=(\frac{4}{2},\frac{7}{2})$

$M=(2,\frac{7}{2})$

Therefore the center (h,k) is $(2,\frac{7}{2})$

now to find the radius:

The diameter is the distance between the given points (6,2) and (-2,5)

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-2-6)^2+(5-2)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(3)^2}$

$=\sqrt{64+9}$

$=\sqrt{73}$

Therefore the radius is $\sqrt{73}$

i.e., $r=\sqrt{73}$

Therefore the standard form of the circle is

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

Now substituting the center and radiuswe get

$(x-2)^2+(y-\frac{7}{2})^2=(\sqrt{73})^2$

$(x-2)^2+(y-\frac{7}{2})^2=73$

Therefore the standard form of the given circle is

$(x-2)^2+(y-\frac{7}{2})^2=73$

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate is simply the middle of the confidence interval.

p = (0.195 + 0.245) / 2

p = 0.22

A circle is growing so that the radius is increasing at the rate of 3 cm/min. How fast is the area of the circle changing at the

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The area is growing at a rate of $\frac{dA}{dt} =226.2 \,\frac{cm^2}{min}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Notice that this problem requires the use of implicit differentiation in related rates (some some calculus concepts to be understood), and not all middle school students cover such.</em>

We identify that the info given on the increasing rate of the circle's radius is 3 $\frac{cm}{min}$ and we identify such as the following differential rate:

$\frac{dr}{dt} = 3\,\frac{cm}{min}$

Our unknown is the rate at which the area (A) of the circle is growing under these circumstances,that is, we need to find $\frac{dA}{dt}$ .

So we look into a formula for the area (A) of a circle in terms of its radius (r), so as to have a way of connecting both quantities (A and r):

$A=\pi\,r^2$

We now apply the derivative operator with respect to time ( $\frac{d}{dt}$ ) to this equation, and use chain rule as we find the quadratic form of the radius:

$\frac{d}{dt} [A=\pi\,r^2]\\\frac{dA}{dt} =\pi\,*2*r*\frac{dr}{dt}$

Now we replace the known values of the rate at which the radius is growing ( $\frac{dr}{dt} = 3\,\frac{cm}{min}$ ), and also the value of the radius (r = 12 cm) at which we need to find he specific rate of change for the area :

$\frac{dA}{dt} =\pi\,*2*r*\frac{dr}{dt}\\\frac{dA}{dt} =\pi\,*2*(12\,cm)*(3\,\frac{cm}{min}) \\\frac{dA}{dt} =226.19467 \,\frac{cm^2}{min}\\$

which we can round to one decimal place as:

$\frac{dA}{dt} =226.2 \,\frac{cm^2}{min}$
