For this case, what we must do is fill squares in all the expressions until we find the correct result.
We have then:
x2 + y2 − 4x + 12y − 20 = 0 x2 + y2 − 4x + 12y = 20
x2 − 4x + y2 + 12y = 20
x2 − 4x + (12/2)^2 + y2 + 12y + (-4/2)^2 = 20 + (12/2)^2 + (-4/2)^2
x2 − 4x + (6)^2 + y2 + 12y + (-2)^2 = 20 + (6)^2 + (-2)^2
x2 − 4x + 36 + y2 + 12y + 4 = 20 + 36 + 4
(x − 2)2 + (y + 6)2 = 60
3x2 + 3y2 + 12x + 18y − 15 = 0
x2 + y2 + 4x + 6y − 5 = 0
x2 + y2 + 4x + 6y = 5
x2 + 4x + (4/2)^2 + y2 + 6y + (6/2)^2 = 5 + (4/2)^2 + (6/2)^2
x2 + 4x + (2)^2 + y2 + 6y + (3)^2 = 5 + (2)^2 + (3)^2
x2 + 4x + 4 + y2 + 6y + 9 = 5 + 4 + 9
(x + 2)2 + (y + 3)2 = 18
2x2 + 2y2 − 24x − 16y − 8 = 0
x2 + y2 − 12x − 8y − 4 = 0
x2 + y2 − 12x − 8y = 4
x2 − 12x + (-12/2)^2 + y2 − 8y + (-8/2)^2 = 4 + (-12/2)^2 + (-8/2)^2
x2 − 12x + (-6)^2 + y2 − 8y + (-4)^2 = 4 + (-6)^2 + (-4)^2
x2 − 12x + 36 + y2 − 8y + 16 = 4 + 36 + 16
(x − 6)2 + (y − 4)2 = 56
x2 + y2 + 2x − 12y − 9 = 0
x2 + y2 + 2x - 12y = 9
x2 + 2x + y2 - 12y = 9
x2 + 2x + (2/2)^2 + y2 - 12y + (-12/2)^2 = 9 + (2/2)^2 + (-12/2)^2
x2 + 2x + (1)^2 + y2 - 12y + (-6)^2 = 9 + (1)^2 + (-6)^2
x2 + 2x + 1 + y2 - 12y + 36 = 9 + 1 + 36
(x + 1)2 + (y − 6)2 = 46
Answer:
Equation with variable
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 0.0016
b) 0.0224
Step-by-step explanation:
If every question has 5 possible answers, the probability of getting the correct answer by guessing would be 0.20. The probability of getting an incorrect answer would be 0.80.
a)Find the probability she lucks out and answers all four questions correctly.
To do this, Allison would have to guess right the first, second, third AND fourth answers. Therefore, we have to multiply the probabilities:
0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 = 0.0016
The probability that she answers all 4 questions correctly is 0.0016.
b) Find the probability that she passes the quiz.
To pass the quiz, she has to have three OR 4 correct answers:
- The probability that she has 3 correct answers is: 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.80 (since she has to have 1 correct answer and 1 incorrect one) = .0064.
- We already calculated the probability that she guesses 4 answers correctly: 0.0016.
Now, we have to sum up these two scenarios:
0.0064 + 0.016 = 0.0224.
Thus, the probability that she passes the quiz is 0.0224
Answer:
20 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We can work easier if we think in terms of an hour
the first equation that we can write is
A + B = 1/4 (its meaning is that in an hour A and B fill 1/4 of the cistern)
the second equation we can write is
A + C = 1/5 (its meaning is that in an hour A and C fill 1/5 of the cistern)
the third equation that we can write is
B = 2C (its meaning is that in an hour B fill 2 times C the cistern)
now we can substitute the value of B in the first two equations
A + 2C = 1/4
A + C = 1/5
A = 1/5 - C
1/5 - C + 2C = 1/4
C = 1/4 -1/5
C = (5-4)/20
C = 1/20 (this means that in an hour C will fill 1/20 of the cistern, so it takes 20 hours to fill the entire cistern)
A = 1/5 - 1/20
A = (4-1)/20 = 3/20
B = 1/20 *2 = 1/10
