Answer: 2 cups

Step-by-step explanation: Olivia spends 4$ and nothing more. 1$ is her profit that can continue to gain and can be represented as 1x or x. x-4 is the equation to represent her profit. Nathan spends 5$ and 0.50$ is his profit which can be shown as 0.5x. 0.5x-5 is the equation to represent his profit.

Set those two equations equal to each other.  0.5x-5=x-4

Isolate x.   0.5x=-1

Solve for x.  x=-2

Since x represents the amount of cups sold, you cannot have a negative amount of cups sold. Therefore, Olivia and Nathan must sell 2 cups to make the same profit.

How do you solve for the segment area in a circle?
Aleks04 [339]
The area of the entire sector of DEF = 60 / 360 * PI * radius^2
sector area = 1 / 6 * 3.14159265... * 20^2
sector area = <span> <span> <span> 209.4395102393 </span> </span> </span>

segment area = sector area - triangle DEF Area
triangle DEF Area = (1/2) * 20 * sine 60 * 20
triangle DEF Area = (1/2) * 0.86603 * 400
triangle DEF Area = <span><span><span>(1/2) * 346.412 </span> </span> </span>
triangle DEF Area = <span> <span> <span> 173.206 </span> </span> </span>

segment area = <span> <span> 209.4395102393 </span> -173.206
</span>
segment area = <span> <span> <span> 36.2335102393 </span> </span> </span>
segment area = 36.23 m

Jonas has been saving for a video game . last year it costs $28 this year it costs $36 find the percent of change in the cost .
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Last year the cost was $28.

This year the cost is $36.

$36 - $28 = $8

Percent of increase = amount of increase ÷ original amount

$8/$28 = $0.286

$0.286 · 100 = 28.6%

There has been a 28.6% of change in the cost.

What is the radius of a circle whose equation is x^2+y^2-10x+6y + 18=0
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

We must write this equation in the form

(

x

−

a

)

2

+

(

y

−

b

)

2

=

r

2

Where

(

a

,

b

)

are the co ordinates of the center of the circle and the radius is

r

.

So the equation is

x

2

+

y

2

−

10

x

+

6

y

+

18

=

0

Complete the squares so add 25 on both sides of the equation

x

2

+

y

2

−

10

x

+

25

+

6

y

+

18

=

0

+

25

=

(

x

−

5

)

2

+

y

2

+

6

y

+

18

=

0

+

25

Now add 9 on both sides

(

x

−

5

)

2

+

y

2

+

6

y

+

18

+

9

=

0

+

25

+

9

=

(

x

−

5

)

2

+

(

y

+

3

)

2

+

18

=

0

+

25

+

9

This becomes

(

x

−

5

)

2

+

(

y

+

3

)

2

=

16

So we can see that the centre is

(

5

,

−

3

)

and the radius is

√

16

or 4
