Circle O, with center (x, y), passes through the points A(0, 0), B(–3, 0), and C(1, 2). Find the coordinates of the center of th

balandron [24]

The answer:

the main formula of the circle's equation is
(x-a)²+ (y-b)² = R²
where C(a, b) is the center of the circle
R is the radius

if a point A(x', y') passes through the circle, so the equation of the circle can be written as
(x'-a)²+ (y'-b)² = R², and that is a main formula.

Circle O, with center (x, y), passes through the points A(0, 0), B(–3, 0), and C(1, 2), so we have exactly three equation:

(0-x)² + (0-y)² = R², circle O passes through A
x²+y²= R²
(-3 -x)² + (0-y)² = R², circle O passes through B
(-3 -x)² + (y)² = R²
(1-x)² + (2-y)² = R², circle O passes through A
(1-x)² + (2-y)² = R²

and we know that R= OA = OC= OB,
OA=R= sqrt( (0-x)² + (0-y)² ) = OB = sqrt((-3 -x)² + (0-y)²), this implies

x²+y² = (-3 -x)² + (0-y)² , it implies x² = 9+ x² + 6x , and then -9/6=x, x= -3/2
and when OA = OC
x²+y² =(1-x)² + (2-y)² so, x²+y² =1+x²-2x +4+y²-4y, therefore -5= -2x -4y
-5= -2x -4y, when x = -3 /2 we obtain y = 2

the center is C(-3/2, 2)

A sociologist wishes to estimate the percentage of the United States population living in poverty. What size sample should be ob

andriy [413]

Answer:

a) We need a sample size of at least 705.

b) We need a sample size of at least 1692.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
