Step-by-step explanation:

Part C: Of the following choices, which equation is the best fit line for the data

As we can see from the data, the population size are decreased year by year, so the slope of the line of best fit must be a negative number.

So we have: C and D left.

Let x = 0, year 2005, the population size is 296 around 320, hence, we choose D.

D f(x) = -34x + 320

Part D: What is the predicted population size for the year 2010? How does that compare to the real data? Round to the nearest million.

year 2010, x =5 so let substitute x =5 into f(x) = -34x + 320

<=> f(x) = -34*5 + 320

= 150 mil

The result is smaller than the real data, (201-150 = 51 mil)

Part E: In what year is the population predicted to go extinct

the population predicted to go extinct when f(x)= 0

<=> -34x + 320 = 0

<=> x ≈ 9.4

So after 10 years, the the population predicted to go extinct

M is the midpoint of AN, A has coordinates (7, -4) and M has coordinates (3, 2) Find the coordinates of N.

Crank

Well if you use graph paper you can graph the points you already have and then you can find the slope of the line easiest that way, the next point would be. (-1,8)

Match the circle equations in general form with their corresponding equations in standard form. Not all will be used.

Xelga [282]

The standard form of the equation of a circumference is given by the following expression:

 $(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2} \\ \\ where \ (h, k) \ is \ the \ center \ of \ the \ circumference \ and \ r \ the \ radius$

On the other hand, the general form is given as follows:

 $x^{2}+y^{2}+Dx+Ey+F=0 \\ \\ where: \\ D=-2h, \ E=-2k, \ F=h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2}$ 

In this way, we can order the mentioned equations as follows:

Equations in Standard Form:

 $\bold{a)} \ (x-6)^{2}+(y-4)^{2}=56 \\ \bold{b)} \ (x-2)^{2} + (y+6)^{2}=60 \\ \bold{c)} \ (x+2)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=18 \\ \bold{d)} \ (x+1)^{2}+(y-6)^{2}=46$

Equations in General Form:

$\bold{1)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x+12y-20=0 \\ \bold{2)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}+6x-8y-10=0 \\ \bold{3)} \ 3x^{2}+3y^{2}+12x+18y-15=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 3, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}+4x+6y-5=0 \\ \\ \bold{4)} \ 5x^{2}+5y^{2}-10x+20y-30=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 5, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+4y-6=0 \\ \\ \bold{5)} \ 2x^{2}+2y^{2}-24x-16y-8=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 2, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}-12x-8y-4=0$

$\bold{6)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-12y$

So let's match each equation:

$\bold{From \ a)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(6,4),\ r=2\sqrt{14} \\ D=-12, \ E=-8 \\ F=-4$

Then, its general form is:

$x^{2}+y^{2}-12x-8y-4=0$

First. a) matches 5) 

$\bold{From \ b)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(2,-6),\ r=2\sqrt{15} \\ D=-4, \ E=12 \\ F=-20$

Then, its general form is:

$x^{2}+y^{2}-4x+12y-20=0$

Second. b) matches 1) 

$\bold{From \ c)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(-2,-3),\ r=3\sqrt{2} \\ D=4, \ E=6 \\ F=-5$

Then, its general form is:

$x^{2}+y^{2}+4x+6y-5=0$

Third. c) matches 3)

$\bold{From \ d)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(-1,6),\ r=\sqrt{46} \\ D=2, \ E=-12, \ F=-9$

Then, its general form is: $x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-12y-9=0$

Fourth. d) matches 6)
