Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given as:

x^2+y^2-4x+2y=b

Upon solving this equation, we have

x^2-4x+4+y^2+2y+1=b+4+1

which can be written as:

(x-2)^2+(y+1)^2=b+5                   (1)

Thus, the y- coordinate of the center of the circle is y=-1.

Now, comparing the equation (1) with the equation of circle, we have

(x-a)^2+(y-c)^2=r^2

where r is the radius of the circle and (a,c) is the center.

Thus, on comparing, we have

⇒b+5=r^2

Also, it is given that the radius of the circle is 7 units, thus putting r=7 in above equation, we get

⇒b+5=(7)^2

⇒b+5=49

⇒b=44 units

Thus, the value of b is 44 units in the given equation.

X² + y² - 4 x + 2 y = b
x² - 4 x + 4 + y² + 2 y + 1 = b + 4 + 1
( x - 2 )² + ( y + 1 )² = b + 5
y - coordinate of the center of the circle is:  y = - 1
b + 5 = r
b + 5 = 7
b = 7 - 5
b = 2

Graph 14x+34y=1 pretty please with a cherry on top!Also thank-you
Svetlanka [38]
To make it much easier, it should be converted to the slope-intercept form
 y = mx + b

To do so, 14x + 34y = 1 turns to:
34y = -14x + 1

Divide both sides by 34:
\frac{34y}{34} =  \frac{-14}{34} x +  \frac{1}{34}
Simplified:
y = \frac{-7}{17} x + \frac{1}{34}

Answer: y = -\frac{7}{17} x + \frac{1}{34}
Here is the graph:

If f(x) varies directly with x and f(x) = 72 when x = 6, find the value of f(x) when x = 3.
Levart [38]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Since f(x) varies directly with x, f(x) can be expressed alternatively as \[f(x) = k * x\] where k is a constant value.

Given that f(x) is 72 when the value of x is 6.

This implies, \[72 = k * 6\]

Simplifying and rearranging the equation to find the value of k:

k = \frac{72}{6}

Hence k = 12

Or, \[f(x) = 12 * x\]

When x = 3, \[f(x) = 12 *3 \]

Or in other words, the value of f(x) when x=3 is 36
