In Mr. Porter's equation the initial "d" represents the initial value of the house. The term "+0.21d" represents the increase in value, 21% of its original value (d).

Answer:

His claim is wrong as the percent increase is 21%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

d+0.21d=1.21d

Given is that at the time of purchase, the house it was valued at 'd' dollars.

So, original price (d) plus percent increase on original price (0.21d) equals to current price (1.21d)

We can see that the percent increase was 21%.

Mr. Porter claims that the value of his house has increased by 121%, since 1.21 is equal to 121%.

His claim is wrong as the percent increase is 21%.

Write the equation in standard form for the circle with center (0, 9) passing through (0, 27/2)
sammy [17]

Given

coordinates of center= (0,9)

Circle passes through (0, 27/2)

Find

Equation of circle

Explanation

The equation of circle in standard form is

\begin{gathered} (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \\ (x-0)^2+(y-9)^2=r^2 \end{gathered}

We know the circle passes through (0,27/2), then

\begin{gathered} (0-0)^2+(\frac{27}{2}-9)^2=r^2 \\ r=4.5 \end{gathered}

So the equation in the standard form is

(x-0)^2+(y-9)^2=4.5^2

Final Answer

(x-0)^2+(y-9)^2=4.5^2
