Answer:  (x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 225\\\\

This is the same as writing (x-9)^2 + (x-12)^2 = 225

========================================================

Explanation:

Any circle equation fits the template of (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\

The center is (9,12) which tells us the values of h and k in that exact order.

h = 9

k = 12

To find the radius r, we need to find the distance from the center (9,12) to a point on the circle. The only point we know on the circle is the origin (0,0).

Apply the distance formula to find the distance from (9,12) to (0,0)

d = \sqrt{ (x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (9-0)^2+(12-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (9)^2+(12)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ 81+144}\\\\d = \sqrt{ 225}\\\\d = 15\\\\

The distance from (9,12) to (0,0) is 15 units. Therefore, r = 15

An alternative to finding this r value is to apply the pythagorean theorem. The distance formula is effectively a modified version of the pythagorean theorem.

---------------------

Since h = 9, k = 12 and r = 15, we can then say:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 15^2\\\\(x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 225\\\\

which is the equation of this circle.

Luz earns $400 for 40 hours of work. Use a ratio table to determine how much she earns for 6 hours of work.
LiRa [457]
To work out how much Luz earns, you simply have to follow 400/40=10, so she earns $10/hour. We can therefore establish that if she works for 6 hours, she'll earn $60.

The answer to these please!
igomit [66]
\sqrt[4]{(4a^{2})^{6}} = \sqrt[4]{4096a^{12}} = 8a^{3}

\sqrt[7]{(b^{\frac{5}{3}})^{8}} = \sqrt[7]{b^\frac{40}{3}} = b^{\frac{40}{21}} = \sqrt[21]{b^{40}} = \sqrt[21]{b^{21} * b^{19}} = \sqrt[21]{b^{21}} \sqrt[21]{b^{19}} = b\sqrt[21]{b^{19}}

\sqrt[3]{\frac{c^{9}}{c^{3}}} = \sqrt[3]{c^{6}} = c^{2}

\sqrt[3]{27d^{6} * 8d^{-4}} = \sqrt[3]{27d^{6} * \frac{8}{d^{4}}} = \sqrt[3]{216d^{2}} = 6\sqrt[3]{d^{2}} = 6d^{\frac{2}{3}}
