Answer:

2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1.2 cups of Strawberries gives you 3 grams of sugar, doubling the amount of strawberries would be too much, 6 grams. But, since the amount needed is 2 grams, that is 2/3 of 1.2 cups of strawberries. 2/3 of 1.2 is 0.8, so add the original amount of srawberries with 2/3 of the 1.2 cups and you get 1.2 cups+ 0.8 cups= 2 cups

Find an equation of the circle that has center (-4,3) and passes through (6,-4).

kumpel [21]

Answer:

$(x+4)^2+(y-3)^2=149$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ where $(h,k)$ is the center of the circle and $r$ is the radius of the circle.

Given that $(h,k)\rightarrow(-4,3)$ and it passes $(6,-4)$ , their distance between each other must the radius of the circle, so we can use the distance formula to find the radius:

$d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-4-3)^2+(6-(-4))^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-7)^2+10^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{49+100}\\\\d=\sqrt{149}$

Therefore, if the length of the radius is $r=\sqrt{149}$ units, then $r^2=149$ , making the final equation of the circle $(x+4)^2+(y-3)^2=149$

Write an exponential equation in the form y = ab* whose graph passes through points (2, 18) and (5, 60.75).

DochEvi [55]

Let $y=ab^x,$ as described in the problem statement. Plugging in $x=2$ and $x=5$ gives us the equations $18=ab^2$ and $60.75=ab^5.$ Since $a,b$ are nonzero, we divide the second equation by the first to get $\frac{27}{8}=b^3,$ which means that $b=\frac{3}{2},$ after taking the cube root. Plugging this value for $b$ into the first equation, we now have $18=a(3/2)^2=\frac{9a}{4}.$ Solving gives $a=8,$ and our desired exponential equation is $\boxed{y=8\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^x}.$
