A circle with the equation (x + 6)2 + (y + 3)2 = 16 is reflected over the line x = 2.

fomenos

Answer: $(x-10)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=16$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the center of the original circle is (-6, -3). After reflecting this over the line x=2, the new center is now (10, -3).

Thus, the equation of the circle is $(x-10)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=16$ .

A movie theater has been charging $10.00 per person and selling about 500 tickets on a typical weeknight. After surveying their

kifflom [539]

Answer:

$p(x) = -0.01x + 15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let x represent the number of tickets, and p the charges

$(x_1,p_1) = (500,10)$

A reduction of 50c gives an increment of 50 tickets.

This gives:

$(x_2,p_2) = (500+50,10-0,5)$ ---- $50c = \$0.5$

$(x_2,p_2) = (550,9.5)$

Required

Determine the demand function

First, calculate the slope:

$m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{9.5 - 10}{550-500}$

$m = \frac{-0.5}{50}$

$m = -0.01$

So, the equation is:

$p = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

$p = -0.01(x - 500) +10$

$p = -0.01x + 5 +10$

$p = -0.01x + 15$

Hence, the function is:

$p(x) = -0.01x + 15$

Y raise to power 1/2 =3

marta [7]

Answer:

y = root 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is equivalent to the root of something.

The root of y equals 3.

Therefore, y would be equal to root 9, as root 9 is equivalent to 3.

Hope this helps :)

6. Find the function with x-intercepts (-3,0) and (5,0), which also goes through the point (1,8)

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

f(x) = (-1/2)(x^2 + 8x - 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

This function has two roots: -3 and 5. Most likely it is a quadratic (all of which have two roots).

Then f(x) = a(x + 3)(x - 5)

The graph goes through (1. 8): Therefore, y = 8 when x = 1:

f(1) = a(1 + 3)(1 - 5) = 8, or

a(4)(-4) = 8, or

-16a = 8, which leads to a = -1/2.

Thus the quadratic in question is f(x) = (-1/2)(x + 3)(x - 5), or

f(x) = (-1/2)(x^2 + 8x - 15)
