Terrence says pi is a rational number since it is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Why is
1 answer:
Answer:
(A) Pi cannot be written as a ratio of integers even if it represents a different ratio.
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is can be expressed as the quotient of two integers. It can either be a number with or without a decimal part when converted to decimals.
C = 2r and D = 2r
C = D
Thus, =
= = 3.142857143...
Terrence was incorrect because Pi is an irrational number which cannot be represented by a simple fraction without approximation.

We know that
X²+y²=9 -------> X²+y²=3²
is the equation of a circle with center (0,0) and radius r=3 units
so
<span>the translation of four units to the right and three units down is equals to move the center (0,0)--------> (0+4,0-3)------> (4.-3)
the new center of the circle is (4,-3)
the new equation is
