Answer:

(1/3) / 1.5 = x/3 solve for x.

x = 3*(1/3) /1.5 = 2 cups

A circle has the order pairs (-1, 2) (0, 1) (-2, -1) what is the equation . Show your work.

olga55 [171]

We know that:

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$

is an equation of a circle.

When we substitute x and y (from the pairs we have), we'll get a system of equations:

$\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}$

and all we have to do is solve it for a, b and r.

There will be:

$\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}1+2a+a^2+4-4b+b^2=r^2\\a^2+1-2b+b^2=r^2\\4+4a+a^2+1+2b+b^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
$

From equations (II) and (III) we have:

$\begin{cases}a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2-2b+1-a^2-b^2-4a-2b-5=r^2-r^2\\\\-4a-4b-4=0\qquad|:(-4)\\\\\boxed{-a-b-1=0}$

and from (I) and (II):

$\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5-a^2-b^2+2b-1=r^2-r^2\\\\2a-2b+4=0\qquad|:2\\\\\boxed{a-b+2=0}$

Now we can easly calculate a and b:

$\begin{cases}-a-b-1=0\\a-b+2=0\end{cases}\\--------(+)\\\\-a-b-1+a-b+2=0+0\\\\-2b+1=0\\\\-2b=-1\qquad|:(-2)\\\\\boxed{b=\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\\\\a-b+2=0\\\\\\a-\dfrac{1}{2}+2=0\\\\\\a+\dfrac{3}{2}=0\\\\\\\boxed{a=-\frac{3}{2}}$

Finally we calculate $r^2$ :

$a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\\\\\\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2-2\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{9}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-1+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{10}{4}=r^2\\\\\\\boxed{r^2=\frac{5}{2}}$

And the equation of the circle is:

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\\\\\\\left(x-\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\\\\boxed{\left(x+\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}}$

Pls explain how to solve it!

Sophie [7]

Answer:

a = jd

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve for a given that a/d = j

To do so we want to isolate a (get a by itself )

We can do this by using inverse operations.

We would want to get rid of the d

A is being divided by d.

The inverse of division is multiplication so to get rid of the d we multiply a/d by d but whatever we do to one side we must do to the other so we multiply both sides by d

a/d * d = a

j * d = jd

we are then left with a = jd

And we are done!

What’s the equation for this graph?

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

y=-3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

as x goes up on y goes down 3

slope is change in y over change in x

-3/1=-3

the y intercept is (0,2) so the y intercept is +2
