Equation of circle is x² + y² - 25 = 0

(b).

(-5, 0) » yes

(√7, 1) » no

(-3, √21) » no

(0, 7) » no

Step-by-step explanation:

(a).

If centred at origin, centre is (0, 0)

General equation of circle:

${ \boxed{ \bf{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0}}}$

but g and f are 0:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + c = 0 \\ but : \\ c = {g}^{2} + {f}^{2} - {r}^{2} \\ c = { - 25}$

What is the answer for $ 199 MP3 player 15% discount

Irina-Kira [14]

So discount means taken off
we find 15% of 199 and subtract from 199
% means parts out of 100 so 15%=15/100=1.5/10=.15/1=0.15
'of' means multiply
15% of 199=0.15 times 199=29.85
discount so 199-29.85=169.15
answer is $169.15
