Answer:

(a) x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 6 ^ 2

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that to convert from polar to rectangular coordinates you must use the relationship:

x = rcos(\theta)

y = rsin(\theta)

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = r ^ 2

In this case we have the following equations in polar coordinates.

(a) r = 6.

Note that in this equation the radius is constant, it does not  depend on \theta.

As r ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + y ^ 2

Then we replace the value of the radius in the equation and we have to::

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 6 ^ 2

Then r = 6 in rectangular coordinates is a circle centered on the point (0,0) and with a constant radius r = 6.

(b) r = 2cos(\theta)

The radius is not constant, the radius depends on \theta.

To convert this equation to rectangular coordinates we write

r = 2cos(\theta)     <em>Multiply both sides of the equality by </em><em>r</em>.

r ^ 2 = 2 *rcos(\theta)    <em>remember that</em> x = rcos(\theta), <em>then: </em>

r ^ 2 = 2x        <em>remember that </em>x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = r ^ 2, <em>then:</em>

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 2x         <em>Simplify the expression. </em>

x ^ 2 -2x + y ^ 2 = 0     <em>Complete the square. </em>

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

(x-1) ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 1  <em>It is a circle centered on the point (1, 0) and with radio r=1</em>

1. Which number makes this equation true? v 2 + 10v + 16 = (v + 8)(v + ?) (1 point) 2 4 6 8 2. What is the factored form of x 2
rusak2 [61]
1. The answer is two because if you factor what you can from the equation and then simplify, you are left with 2v+16=(v+8)(?), and by looking at it, the correct answer is two, or A. Review your work, make sure to check your answers before submitting
2. Since two simple factors of 8 are 4 and 2, and they add up to 6, the correct answer is (x+4)(x+2), or B
3. Again, two simple factors of 12 are -4 and -3, so the correct answer is (x-3)(x-4), or D
4. Basically, just factor the quadratic trinomial g^2-2g-24, which turns out to (G+4)(g-6), which is B

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

120 students students could be expected to not be wearing a jacket

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on this, we can work with the assumption that 3/5 of the students that entered the stadium were wearing jackets.

Given that the total population of students that attended the game is 300

This means that 3/5 of the 300 = 180 students.

180 students were estimated to be wearing jackets.

The number of students that were without jackets is 300 - 180 = 120 students
