Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

D(t) = 3260 - 55t

The function that shows their distance from home as a function of time shows that they started 3260 miles from home and are driving at 55 miles per hour.

part a:

D(12) = 3260  55(12)

D(12) = 3260 - 660

D(12) = 2600

Interpretation: After 12 hours of driving home, they are 2600 miles from home.

part b:

D(t) = 2490

3260 - 55t = 2490

-55t = -770

t = 14

Interpretation: When they are 2490 miles from home, they have driven for 14 hours.

What is the equation of the circle whose diameter has endpoints (8,-2) and (-2,6)?
klemol [59]

Answer:

(x-3)^{2} +(y-2)^{2}=41

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the diameter of the circle

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

we have

A(8,-2)\\E(-2,6)  

substitute the values

d=\sqrt{(6+2)^{2}+(-2-8)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(-10)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{164}\ units

d=2\sqrt{41}\ units

step 2

Find the center of the circle

The center is the midpoint of the diameter

The center is equal to

C=(\frac{8-2}{2},\frac{-2+6}{2})

C=(3,2)

step 3

Find the equation of the circle

The equation of the circle in center radius form is equal to

(x-h)^{2} +(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

we have

(h,k)=(3,2)

r=2\sqrt{41}/2=\sqrt{41}\ units ---> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

(x-3)^{2} +(y-2)^{2}=(\sqrt{41})^{2}

(x-3)^{2} +(y-2)^{2}=41

Help with graph question
Gala2k [10]
The first thing we are going to do to graph our equation is solve them for y:
For our first equation:
4x-5y=50
-5y=20-4x
y= \frac{4}{5} x-4
For our second equation:
3x+y=-4
y=-3x-4

Now, we just need to use the graphing utility to graph our equations:
y= \frac{4}{5} x-4
y=-3x-4

We can conclude that the graph of the equations is:
