Write the equation of the circle whose center is (-4,8) and has a diameter of 18

Mathematics

Answer:

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 81

or

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 9^2 depending on how your teacher wants it written.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a circle is

(x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = r^2

r is the radius.

You are given the diameter

r = d/2

r = 18/2

r = 9

So you already have the right hand side of the equation

(x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = 9*2

(x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = 81

You basically have h and k as well. They come from the center point.

h = 4

k = - 8

So the equation of the circle (and the answer) is

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 81

One question remains. Why do the x and y values change signs? If you know what the distance formula is, then what you are finding is the distance r of all points on the circle from the center of the circle.

It is the distance formula that is actually the formula for the circle.

Consider the inequality-5(x+7)<-10 write an inequality representing the solution for x
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

<h2>x > -5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x + 7) < -10            <em>use the distributive property </em><em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

(-5)(x) + (-5)(7) < -10

-5x - 35 < -10         <em>add 35 to both sides</em>

-5x < 25         <em>change the signs</em>

5x > - 25       <em>divide both sides by 5</em>

x > -5

1. Girl Scout Troop 321 started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. Gabby
Oksanka [162]

Answer: 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that the Girl Scout Troop started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. The percentage change will be:

= (31 - 25) / 25 × 100

= 6/25 × 100

= 24%

The error that Gabby made was that she used 31 as the base. This is expressed below:

= 31 - 25) / 31 × 100

= 6/31 × 100

= 19.4%
