Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has two clear points (6,10) and (2,2)

y=mx+b

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(2-10)/(2-6)=-8/-4=2 so far our line is

y=2x+b, using point (2,2) we can solve for b

2=2(2)+b

2=4+b

b=-2 so our line is

y=2x-2, and we want to know the coordinates for (4,b)

b=2(4)-2

b=8-2

b=6

Now we want to know the coordinates for (a,8)

8=2a-2

10=2a

a=5

The equation

ra1l [238]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let's use a trial and improvement method to find this solution.

Step 1. Let's choose x = 8.5

Substituting into the equation:

$(8.5)^2+ 3(8.5) - 94=0? \\ \\ 72.25+25.5-94=0? \\ \\ 3.75\neq 0$

Step 2. Let's choose x = 8.4

Substituting into the equation:

$(8.4)^2+ 3(8.4) - 94=0? \\ \\ 70.56+25.2-94=0? \\ \\ 1.76\neq 0$

Step 3. Let's choose x = 8.3

Substituting into the equation:

$(8.3)^2+ 3(8.3) - 94=0? \\ \\ 68.89+24.9-94=0? \\ \\ -0.21\neq 0$

Since the sign of the equation changes from positive to negative when evaluating from 8.4 to 8.3, then x = 8.3 seems to be a reasonable value. Finally, the solution to 1 decimal place is:

$x=8.3$

Find the area of a circle with radius, r = 6.48m. Give your answer rounded to 2 DP.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Area = 131.9167322

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure what 2 DP means so you will need to do that part.

area=pi*radius^2

area=3.14*42 (approx)
