If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (−8, −6) and (−4, −14), what is the standard form equation of the circle? A) (x

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{A.\ (x+6)^2+(y+10)^2=20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation of a circle:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

(h, k) - center

r - radius

We have the endpoints of the diameter of a circle (-8, -6) and (-4, -14).

The midpoint of a diameter is a center of a circle.

The formula of a midpoint:

$\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Substitute:

$x=\dfrac{-8+(-4)}{2}=\dfrac{-12}{2}=-6\\\\y=\dfrac{-6+(-14)}{2}=\dfrac{-20}{2}=-10$

We have h = -6 and k = -10.

The radius is the distance between a center and the point on a circumference of a circle.

The formula of a distance between two points:

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

Substitute (-6, -10) and (-8, -6):

$r=\sqrt{(-8-(-6))^2+(-6-(-10))^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+4^2}=\sqrt{4+16}=\sqrt{20}$

Finally we have

$(x-(-6))^2+(y-(-10))^2=(\sqrt{20})^2\\\\(x+6)^2+(y+10)^2=20$

How to solve 14x + 2 and 2(7x+1) x=5

Jobisdone [24]

14 x 5 = 70

70 + 2 = 72

7 x 5 + 1 = 36

36 x 2 = 72

They are equivalent

Suppose you have 6 pairs of socks in your sock drawer. It is still dark out in the morning when you get dressed, so you just pul

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

8/33 = 0.242

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 socks to begin with and one is taken;

The second is picked from the remaining 11 and will either match the first or not;

The probability of matching is 1/11 and 10/11 for not matching;

If the sock matches, no further sock is taken;

If the socks don't match, a 3rd sock is taken;

The 3rd sock is taken from the remaining 10, 1 of which will match with the first sock and another which will match the second;

Therefore, the probability of taking a matching sock on the third pick will by 2/10 or 1/5 and the probability it will not match either of the first two is 8/10 or 4/5;

Once again, if the sock matches either of those previously taken, no further sock is taken;

If the socks don't match, a 4th sock is taken;

Now, there are 9 socks remaining in the drawer;

Picking is repeated;

The process is logical;

The attached picture shows a tree diagram representing this information in an easily digestible way and makes it easy to work out the desired probability;

With tree, diagrams, you just multiply across until you get to your desired outcome;

In this case, we are finding the probability of picking 5 socks exactly;

Each process splitting represents the picking of a sock;

The probability will be:

10/11 × 8/10 × 6/9 × 4/8 = 8/33 = 0.242...
