We could find the length of the radius of the small circle using pythagorean theorem. There is a right triangle formed from the picture above. Pythagorean theorem states the sum of the squares of the perpendicular sides on the right triangle is equal to the square of its hypotenuse.

(8 - r)² + 20² = 21²
(8 - r)² + 400 = 441
(8 - r)² = 441 - 400
(8 - r)² = 41
8 - r = √41
r = 8 - √41
r = 8 - 6.403
r = 1.597
to the nearest tenth
r ≈ 1.6
The radius of the small circle is approximately 1.6 in

If $6,000 is invested for six years and seven months at 6% compounded semi-annually, what is the interest that the investment ea
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

<em>Given:</em>

<em>P = $6000</em>

<em>r = 6%</em>

<em>t = 6 years and 7 months = 79 months</em>

∵ It is compounded semi-annually

∴ I = P\times(1+\frac{r/2}{100})^{\frac{t}{6} } - P

I = 6000\times(1+\frac{6/2}{100})^{\frac{79}{6} } - 6000

I = 8854.72 - 6000

<em>I = 2854.72</em>

What is the equation of a parabola with (4, 6) as its focus and y = 2 as its directrix?
antoniya [11.8K]
So  hmmm if you notice the picture below

bear in mind that, the vertex is "p" distance from the focus, and "p" distance from the directrix

now, the focus is at 4,6 and the directrix below that, meaning the parabola is vertical and opening upwards

and the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}}) \\\\&#10;\boxed{(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})} \\&#10;\end{array}&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\&#10;{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\&#10;\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;(x-4)^2=4(2)(y-4)\implies (x-4)^2=8(y-4)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{(x-4)^2}{8}=y-4\implies \cfrac{1}{8}(x-4)^2+4=y

Point (-1, 3) lie on a line with a slope of 4, what is the equation of the line?
sukhopar [10]

Answer: y-3=4(x+1) in point-slope form and y=4x+7 in slope intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the point-slope form by plugging the numbers into the following: y-y₁=m(x-x₁).

You will end up with y-(3)=(4)(x-(-1)) which when simplified equals y-3=4(x+1).

To find slope intercept form you know need to isolate y and simplify.

Adding 3 to both sides results in y=4(x+1)+3.

If you then distribute you get y=4x+4+3 which simplifies to y=4x+7.
