Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- A circle's equation consist on the following expression:
, where r is the magnitude of the radio, and (a,b) are the coordenates of the center of the circle. - In this case, a=2 and b= - 3, because the circle is centered in (x,y)=(2, - 3).
- The radio, which is the distance between the center of the radio to any point in its border, equals r=2 (because of the scale of the graphic, in this case two squares of the grid equal 2 units, then r=2).
- Finally, using the previous information to replace in the equation , where the fact that r=2 and
was used.
The answer is 16 inches.
Let r be a radius and h be a height of a cylinder
Since the cylinders are similar, then the ratio between their radiuses is equal to the ratio of their heights:
r1 : r2 = h1 : h2
Cylinder A:
r1 = 5.6 in
h1 = ?
Cylinder B:
r2 = 1.4 in
h2 = 4 in
5.6 : 1.4 = h1 : 4
h1 = 4 * 5.6 : 1.4
h1 = 16 inches
So
y=ax^2+bx+c
(x,y)
sub the points and solve
(4.28,6.48)
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)+c
(12.61,15.04)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)+c
well, for 3 variables, we need equations and therefor 3 points
maybe we are supposed to assume it starts at (0,0)
so then
0=a(0)^2+b(0)+c
0=c
so then
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)
solve for a by subsitution
first equation, minut a(4.28)^2 from both sides
6.48-a(4.28)^2=b(4.28)
divide both sides by 4.28
(6.48/4.28)-4.28a=b
sub that for b in other equation
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+((6.48/4.28)-4.28a)(12.61)
expand
15.04 =a(12.61)^2+(81.7128/4.28)-53.9708a
minus (81.7128/4.28) both sides
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a(12.61)^2-53.9708a
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a((12.61)^2-53.9708)
(15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708))=a
that's the exact value of a
to find b, subsitute to get
(6.48/4.28)-4.28((15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708)))=b
if we aprox
a≈-0.038573167896199
b≈1.6791118501845
so then the equation is
y=-0.038573167896199x²+1.6791118501845x
