Answer:

The pecans used in the mixture =  8 kg

The almonds used in the mixture  =  17 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of per kg of pecans  = $28.50

The cost of per kg of almonds = $22.25

Now, total weight of mixture  = 25 kg

Let us assume the weight of pecans in the mixture   =   m kg

So, the amount of almonds in the mixture  = Total weight - Weight of Pecans

= (25 - m) kg

Now, cost of m kg pecans  = m x ( cost of 1 kg pecans) = m x ( $ 28.50)

                                              =  28.50 m

cost of (25- m) kg almonds  = (25 -m)  x ( cost of 1 kg almonds)

                                                = (25 - m) x ( $ 22.25)

                                                =  556.25  - 22.25 m

Total cost  of 25 kg of mixture  = 25 x ( $24.25) =  $606.25

Now, Total Cost of (almonds  + Pecans)  = Total cost of mixture

⇒28.50 m + 556.25  - 22.25 m  = $606.25

or,6.25 m =  50

or, m = 50/6.25 =  8

Hence, the pecans used in the mixture = m = 8 kg

And the  almonds used in the mixture  = (25 - m) = 25 - 8 = 17 kg

What is the equation of a circle with center (9,-7) and radius 2?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

B. (x-9)^2 + (y + 7)^2 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2. Hopefully you can memorize that, because it's very helpful in these problems!

(h,k) is our center, and r is our radius, so plug those values into the standard form:

(x - 9)^2 + (y + 7)2 = 2^2

2^2 = 4, so

<u>B. (x - 9)^2 + (y + 7)2 = 4 is our answer!</u>

Answer:

Center: (4,8)

Radius: 2.5

Equation: (x-4)^2+(y-8)^2=6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

It was given that; the endpoints of the longest chord on a circle are (4, 5.5) and (4, 10.5).

Note that the longest chord is the diameter;

The midpoint of the ends of the diameter gives us the center;

Use the midpoint formula;

(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

The center is at; (\frac{4+4)}{2} ,\frac{5.5+10.5}{2}=(4,8)

To find the radius, use the distance formula to find the distance from the center to one of the endpoints.

The distance formula is;

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

r=\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(10.5-8)^2}

r=\sqrt{0^2+(2.5)^2}

r=\sqrt{0^2+(2.5)^2}=2.5

The equation of the circle in standard form is given by;

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

We substitute the center and the radius into the formula to get;

(x-4)^2+(y-8)^2=2.5^2

(x-4)^2+(y-8)^2=6.25
