Anna wants to take fitness classes. She compares two gyms to determine which would be the best deal for her. Fit Fast charges a
mestny [16]
Fit Fast: a set feet per class => y = Ax

Stepping Up: a monthly fee plus an additioal fee per class => h = Bx + C

You can discard the second and the fourth systems because  they do not have the form established from the statement.

The first system produce an obvious result given that is represents an option that is always better than the other 5.5x will be lower than 7.5x + 10 for any positive value of x, and so there is no need to make any comparission.

The third system is

y = 7.5x and y = 5.5x + 10 which need to be solved to determine when one rate is more convenient than the other.

Answer: y = 7.5x and y = 5..5x + 10

X^2 + bx + 49 is a perfect squad trinomial what is one possible value of b?
ddd [48]

a perfect square trinomial, (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

so, if we have the x of the bx, what is left is the b

the expression would have to be (x + 7)², since we have the 49 and the x²

so, what's left: x² + 14x + 49,

b = 14

Find the equation of locus of a point which moves such that its distance from (0,2) is one third distance from (-2,3). ( I WILL
scoray [572]

Answer:

8(x^2+y^2)-4x-30y+23=0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u />

<u>Distance formula</u>

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

Let P(x, y) = any point on the locus

Let A = (0, 2)    

Let B = (-2, 3)

If a point moves such that its distance from (0, 2) is one third distance from (-2, 3):

PA=\dfrac{1}{3}PB

Therefore, using the distance formula:

\implies \sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-2)^2}=\dfrac{1}{3}\sqrt{(x-(-2))^2+(y-3)^2}

Square both sides:

\implies x^2+(y-2)^2=\dfrac{1}{9}[(x+2)^2+(y-3)^2]

\implies x^2+y^2-4y+4=\dfrac{1}{9}(x^2+4x+4+y^2-6y+9)

Multiply both sides by 9:

\implies 9x^2+9y^2-36y+36=x^2+4x+4+y^2-6y+9

\implies 8x^2+8y^2-4x-30y+23=0

\implies 8(x^2+y^2)-4x-30y+23=0
