Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

For Ray

He has 16 pages already

Now he is writing 2 pages per day

let x be the number of days

and y be the total number of pages writen

the linear function for the situation is given as

y=2x+16-------------1

For Claudia

He has 2 pages already

Now he is writing 4 pages per day

let x be the number of days

and y be the total number of pages writen

the linear function for the situation is given as

y=4x+2-------------2

Step two:

let us equate equation 1 and 2 to find x

2x+16=4x+2

collect like terms

2x-4x=2-16

-2x=-12

divide both sides by -2

x=12/2

x=6

Therefore it will take 6 days for them to have the same number of pages

sattari [20]

Answer: I used the Pythagorean theorem and got 6.24, but if I was supposed to use another method, just let me know.

The formula is a^2+b^2=c^2

a=5

c=8

b=?

5^2+b^2=8^2

25+b^2=64

b^2=39

b=6.24,

(If it doesn't work, put x=6.24, x=-6.24. It can be both technically, but most teachers ask only for the first one. )

If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (10, 12) and (0, 2), what is the standard form equation of the circle? A) (x +
attashe74 [19]
So the equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where (h,k) are the coordinates of the center of the circle and r is the radius. The diameter of a circle is a line that goes from one point of the circle to the other through the center of the circle. Well the center would be midway through the diameter so use midpoint formula to find the center which is (h,k) Mid point formula is both given x's added together divided by 2 for h and both y coordinates added together divided by 2 to find k
(10+0)/2
10/2= 5
(12+2)/2
14/2 = 7
so the center of the circle is (5,7) now use distance formula using the center and one of the points to the radius
√((5-10)²+(7-12)²)
√(-5²+ -5²)
√(25 + 25)
√50 is the radius
Now plug all found information into circle equation
(x-5)² + (y-7)² =50      note the end is 50 because the circle equation is radius squared and since the radius is √50, radius² is 50.
