Answer:

  In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.

In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)

  6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property

  6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property

In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.

In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.

__

The descriptive statements about steps 2 and 4 are both true.

Determine the center and radius of the following circle equation: x^2+y^2+20x+8y+35=0
natta225 [31]

Answer:

center: (-10,-4)

radius: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start off by moving the 35 to the other side and grouping the x and y terms we have

(x²+20x)+(y²+8y)= -35

Next we take the term with the x coeficcent, divide it by 2, and square it

so

for the x we would do (20/2)²=100

and make sure we add that to the 35

(x²+20x+100)+(y²+8y+16)= -35+100+16

next factor everythign to get

(x+10)²+(y+4)²=81

therefore the center is (-10,-4)

and the radius is √81 or 9
