Mathematics

Answer:

I'm assuming you have 4 options, and if so, the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding 36.6 off to 37 will make it easier to estimate the quotient when dividing by 5. For example, I can easily come up with a solution in my head when dividing 37 to 5 but it's harder for me to come up with a solution to 36.6.

Find the equation of the sphere in standard form centered at (−6,10,5) with radius 5.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The equation of the sphere in standard form is

$x^{2} +y^{2}+z^{2} +12 x-20 y-10 z+136=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>:-

The equation of the sphere having center and radius is

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

Given centered of the sphere is (-6,10,5) and radius r=5

$(x-(-6))^{2} +(y-10)^{2} +(z-5)^{2} = 5^{2}$

on simplification,we get

$using (a+b)^{2} =a^{2} +2 a b+b^{2}$

$using (a-b)^{2} =a^{2} -2 a b+b^{2}$

simplify , we get

$x^{2} +y^{2}+z^{2} +12 x-20 y-10 z+136=0$

Heather has divided $5400 between two investments, one paying 8%, the other paying 5%. if the return on her investment is $

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

$2500 at 8%.

$2900 st 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount invested at rate of 8% and y be the amount invested at the rate of 5%.

We have been given that Heather has divided $5400 between two investments. We can represent this information as:

$x+y=5400...(1)$

The return on her investment is $345.

Earnings from the investment at 8% will be 8% of x.

Earnings from the investment at 5% will be 5% of y.

$(\frac{8}{100})x+(\frac{5}{100})y=345...(2)$

$0.08x+0.05y=345...(2)$

We will use substitution method to solve our system of equations. From equation (1) we will get,

$x=5400-y$

Substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

$0.08(5400-y)+0.05y=345$

$432-0.08y+0.05y=345$

$-0.08y+0.05y=345-432$

$-0.03y=-87$

$\frac{-0.03y}{-0.03}=\frac{-87}{-0.03}$

$y=2900$

Therefore, Heather has invested an amount of $2900 at 5%.

Let us substitute y=2900 in equation (1) to solve for x.

$x+2900=5400$

$x+2900-2900=5400-2900$

$x=2500$

Therefore, Heather has invested an amount of $2500 at 8%.

A circle is centered at the point (-7,-1) and passes through the point (8, 7). The radius of the circle is ___ units. The point

trapecia [35]

Answer:

(x + 7)2 + (y + 1)2 = r2.

To get we use point (8, 7): (8 + 7)2 + (7 + 1)2 = r2, r2 = 225 + 64 = 289 = 172.

So, equation of circle: (x + 7)2 + (y + 1)2 = 289
