Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the equation of a circle in general form shown below into standard form. Find the center and radius of the circle. Group the x 's and y 's together. Consider the x2 and x terms only. Complete the square on these terms. Replace the x2 and x terms with a squared bracket.

Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving the line left would be moving it onto the y - axis

Therefore the solution would be any point that starts with 0

So (0, 1), (0, 2), (0, -9), etc.

A telephone pole has a wire to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor po

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The height of the pole is 105ft,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $h$ the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is $h - 49$ .

The wire length $d$ is 14 ft longer than height $h$ , hence

$d= h+14$ .

Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse $d= y+14$ , perpendicular $h$ , and base $h-49$ ; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives

$(h-49)^2+h^2 = (h+14)^2$

which upon expanding we get:

$h^2-98h+2401 = h^2+28h+196$

further simplification gives

$h^2-126h+2205=0$ ,

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

$h =21ft\\h = 105ft.$

Since the first solution $h =21ft$ will give the triangle base length of $21ft-49ft = -28ft$ which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution $h = 105ft$ .
