Correct Question:

Otero translated the phrase "three less than a number" into the expression 3 minus x. Which best describes the accuracy of Otero's expression?.

a. It is accurate. The phrase can be translated as "three" = 3, "less than" = subtraction, and "a number" = X, SO 3- X is the correct expression.

b. It is inaccurate. Three is being subtracted from a number, so X-3 is what he should have written.

c. It is inaccurate. Three is being compared to a number, so 3 It is inaccurate. Three is being added to a number, so 3+ x is what he should have written.

Answer:

The answer is B because three less than a number means that a 3 is less than some number X meaning three is being subtracted from X. So equation should be X-3 rather than 3-X.

1. A circle with center (-5, 2) is tangent to the y-axis. What is the radius of the circle? What is the equation of the circle?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  The center lies on the vertical line x = -5 and the the circle is tangent to (touches in one place only) the y-axis.  Thus, the radius is 5.

2)  Starting with (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 and comparing this to the given

                     (x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 6^2

we see that h = 4, k = -3 and r = 6.  The center is at (4, -3) and the radius is 6.

3)  Notice that A and B have the same x-coordinate, x = 15.  The center of the circle is thus (15, -2), where that -2 is the halfway point between the two given points in the vertical direction.   Arbitrarily choose A(15, 4) as one point on the circle.  Then the equation of this circle is

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = r^2 = 6^2, where the 6 is one half of the vertical distance between A(15, 4) and B(15, -8) (which is 12).

P=2L+2W<br><br>solve for L <br>do the entire equation
VashaNatasha [74]
HEY THEIR!!

Taking commen 2 in RHS
p = 2 (L+W )

Divide by 2 on both sides.
p/2 = L+W

Subtract W on both sides.
p/2 - W = L

or L = p/2- W

Sonic rolls up a slope at 9.4 m/s. after 3.0 he is rolling back down ay 7.4 m/s. how far up the hill is he at this time?
vovikov84 [41]
U= 9.4m/s
v= -7.4m/s (Negative sign because it is in the opposite direction as he is rolling back)
t= ?
s= ?
a= ?
Now, a= v-u/t
= -7.4-9.4÷3
=-5.6
By the second equation of motion.
s= ut+1÷2at*2 ( *2 is the power)
s= 9.4×3+1÷2×-5.6×3*2
= 28.2 +(-25.2)
=3
Therefore s or the distance travelled is 3m.
