Answer:

About 23.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoreans theorem states a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

a = 8, squared = 64

b = 22, squared = 484

64 + 484 = 548

√548 = 23.4, rounded.

23.4 feet is your answer.

Hope this helps.

(50 points) A diameter of a circle has endpoints P(-10, -2) and Q(4,6)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is the midpoint of the two end points of the diameter.

Formula

Center = (x2 + x1)/2 , (y2 + y1)/2

Givens

x2 = 4

x1 = - 10

y2 = 6

y1 = - 2

Solution

Center = (4 - 10)/2, (6 - 2)/2

Center = -6/2 , 4/2

Center = - 3 , 2

So far what you have is

(x+3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = r^2

Now you have to find the radius.

You can use either of the endpoints to find the radius.

find the distance from (4,6) to (-3,2)

r^2 = ( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

x2 = 4

x1 = -3

y2 = 6

y1 = 2

r^2 = ( (4 - -3)^2 + (6 - 2)^2 )

r^2 = ( (7)^2 + 4^2)

r^2 = ( 49 + 16)

r^2 = 65

Ultimate formula is

(x+3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 65

The radius is √65 = 8.06

Answer:

The sum of the squared residuals

Step-by-step explanation:

If you sum the residuals, you would get 0

if you sum of the absolute values of the residuals you wouldn't be doing "least-squares regression"

The influence of outliers D The slope is another metric that has nothing to do in creating the regression line

Solve -2(n + 5) + 6n = 14 for n.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

n=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -> -2(n+5)+6n=14

Distributive Property -> -2n-10+6n=14

Combine like terms -> 4n-10=14

Add 10 to both sides -> 4n=24

Divide both sides by 4 -> n=6

So n=6
