Answer:

(x-4)^2+y^2=16

This is a circle with radius \sqrt{16}=4 and center (4,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the following:

x=r\cos(\theta)

y=r\sin(\theta)

\frac{y}{x}=\tan(\theta)

x^2+y^2=r^2

We are given r=8\cos(theta).

Multiply both sides by r:

r(r)=8\cos(\theta)r

Reorder on right and simplify on left:

r^2=8r\cos(theta)

We can now make some replacements from our "Recall" section:

x^2+y^2=8x

We can probably leave like this, but sometimes we are required to put in a more identifying form.

This is a circle. I'm going to write in the form (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2.

Subtract 8x on both sides:

x^2-8x+y^2=0

x^2-8x+\text{(blank)}+y^2=0+\text{(blank)}

We are going to fill those "blanks" in so that we can complete the square for the x part.

x^2-8x+(\frac{-8}{2})^2+y^2=0+(\frac{-8}{2})^2

(x+\frac{-8}{2})^2+y^2=0+(-4)^2

(x-4)^2+y^2=0+16

(x-4)^2+y^2=16

So our equation is that of a circle with radius \sqrt{16}=4 and center (4,0).

A department store is holding a drawing to give free shopping sprees to two lucky customers. There are 17 customers who have ent
mixer [17]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.044.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of customers who have entered the drawing = 17

Number of customers live in the town of Gaston = 5

Number of customers live in Pike = 4

Number of customers live in Wells = 8

The first customer will be selected and then second customer will be selected from the remaining .

Probability of getting first customers are Pike residents = \dfrac{4}{17}

Probability of getting second customers are Pike residents = \dfrac{3}{16}

So, the probability that both customers selected are Pike residents are

\dfrac{4}{17}\times \dfrac{3}{16}\\\\=0.044

Hence, our required probability is 0.044.

Let f(x) = x2 − 8x + 5. Find f(−1).
Westkost [7]
F(x) = x^2 - 8x + 5

f(-1) = -1^2 - 8(-1) + 5
f(-1) = 1 + 8 + 5
f(-1) = 14 <==

Write the standard form of the equation of a line if the point on the line nearest to the origin is at (6, 8).
Alchen [17]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{4}{3}x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through the origin has an equation y = mx

m - slope

The formula of a slope of a line passes through the origin

and a point (x, y):

m=\dfrac{y}{x}

We have the point (6, 8). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{8:2}{6:2}=\dfrac{4}{3}

Finally:

y=\dfrac{4}{3}x
