<span>As of January 8, 2015, the U.S. is $18.1 trillion in debt. (Source: National Priorities Project)

1 Trillion 

= 1 Thousand Billion

= 1,000,000,000,000

= 10</span>¹²
<span>
---------------------------

U.S National debt currently stands at:

$ 18.1 x 10</span><span>¹²
</span><span>
*What information would be lost? Well firstly the 0's. The 0's put the size of the number into perspective. The word "trillion" would also be taken out of the picture, once again altering the perspective of the number.

Personally I'd prefer to hear "18.1 Trillion Dollars". Sounds more interesting.

Write the equation of the circle graphed below
Serjik [45]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the circle is graphed with center (-1,1)

We need to determine the equation of the circle.

<u>Radius</u>:

To determine the radius of the circle, let us simply count the number of units between the center point to any point on the circle.

Hence, from the figure, it is obvious that there are 5 units between the center and any point on the circle.

Thus, radius of the circle is 5 units.

<u>Equation of the circle:</u>

The standard form for the equation of the circle is given by

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

where the center is (h,k) and radius is r.

Substituting the center (-1,1) and r = 5 in the above formula, we get;

(x+1)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=5^{2}

(x+1)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=25

Thus, the equation of the circle is (x+1)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=25

Like terms and unlike terms
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

In algebra, like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. The coefficients do not need to match.

Unlike terms are two or more terms that are not like terms, i.e. they do not have the same variables or powers. The order of the variables does not matter unless there is a power. For example, 8xyz2 and −5xyz2 are like terms because they have the same variables and power while 3abc and 3ghi are unlike terms because they have different variables. Since the coefficient doesn't affect likeness, all
