Most graphing calculators will do weighted averages pretty easily. It is mostly a matter of data entry.
mx = -2
my = 10
(x, y) = (mx, my)/10 = (-0.2, 1)
(a)

or, via symmetry

____________
(b)
By the chain rule:

For polar coordinates, x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ. Since
<span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, it follows that

Differentiating with respect to theta

2/3 is the slope
____________
(c)
"</span><span>distance between the particle and the origin increases at a constant rate of 3 units per second" implies dr/dt = 3
A</span>ngle θ and r are related via <span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, so implicitly differentiating with respect to time
</span><span />
Answer:
if you flipped one of the figures you will see that they are both the same shape and the same distance from the x and y axes.
The college student spends 45 dollars on laundry.
To find this you have to divide 495, by 11. This is because the question states "the college student spends 10 times more on pizza than laundry", which means the cost of the laundry (l) is added to the cost of pizza (10p). Dividing 495 by 11, you get 45.
As I stated earlier, the cost of laundry is added to the cost of pizza. 45 * 10 is 450. 450 + 45 = 495. Thus making 45 the answer.
I hope this helps!
