Answer:

<h2>The time needed is 10 months.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (0, 3500) and (5, 1750).

First, we use the formula below to find the slope of the line

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{1750-3500}{5-0}=\frac{-1750}{5}=-350

Which means the function is deacrasing with a ratio of 350 feet per month.

Now, we use the slope and one point to find the equation

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-1750=-350(x-5)\\y=-350x+1750+1750\\y=-350x+3500

This linear function shows that the situation started at the y-intecept (0, 3500), which means the month 0 had already 3500 feet. In other words, the total distance is 3500 feet. Now, the x-intercept will tell us the time needed to travel that distance.

0=-350x+3500\\-3500=-350x\\x=\frac{-3500}{-350}\\ x=10

Therefore, the time needed is 10 months.

The circle below is centered at the origin and has a radius of 4. What is its
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a circle's equation is

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where h and k are the circle's center and r is the radius. We are told, and we can see, that the center of the circle is (0, 0) so h = 0 and k = 0. The radius, given as 4, goes into the equation squared, so the equation is

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=16 which simplifies down to

x^2+y^2=16, choice C.
