Calculating Financial Ratios

What is the center and radius of the circle with equation (x - 2)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 100?

ololo11 [35]

Answer:
Center = (2,5)
Radius = 10
Choice A

To find this answer, first write the equation
(x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 100
into
(x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 10^2

Note how the second equation is in the form
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

We see that (h,k) = (2,5) is the center
and r = 10 is the radius

Write an equation for a quadratic function that has x intercepts (-3, 0) and (5, 0)

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

One possible equation is $f(x) = (x + 3)\, (x - 5)$ , which is equivalent to $f(x) = x^{2} - 2\, x - 15$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor theorem states that if $x = x_{0}$ (where $x_{0}$ is a constant) is a root of a function, $(x - x_{0})$ would be a factor of that function.

The question states that $(-3,\, 0)$ and $(5,\, 0)$ are $x$ -intercepts of this function. In other words, $x = -3$ and $x = 5$ would both set the value of this quadratic function to $0$ . Thus, $x = -3\!$ and $x = 5\!$ would be two roots of this function.

By the factor theorem, $(x - (-3))$ and $(x - 5)$ would be two factors of this function.

Because the function in this question is quadratic, $(x - (-3))$ and $(x - 5)$ would be the only two factors of this function. In other words, for some constant $a$ ( $a \ne 0$ ):

$f(x) = a\, (x - (-3))\, (x - 5)$ .

Simplify to obtain:

$f(x) = a\, (x + 3)\, (x - 5)$ .

Expand this expression to obtain:

$f(x) = a\, (x^{2} - 2\, x - 15)$ .

(Quadratic functions are polynomials of degree two. If this function has any factor other than $(x - (-3))$ and $(x - 5)$ , expanding the expression would give a polynomial of degree at least three- not quadratic.)

Every non-zero value of $a$ corresponds to a distinct quadratic function with $x$ -intercepts $(-3,\, 0)$ and $(5,\, 0)$ . For example, with $a = 1$ :

$f(x) = (x + 3)\, (x - 5)$ , or equivalently,

$f(x) = x^{2} - 2\, x - 15$ .

What is the value of c?

ladessa [460]

To find the value of C: Use the Pythagorean Theorem

4^2 + 3^2 = c^2

16 + 9 = c^2

25 = c^2

sqrt of 25 = c

c = 5

suppose you deposit $1000 in a savings account that pays 4.8% interest compounded monthly. Write an exponential function to mode

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The exponential function is $A(t) = 1000(1.004)^{12t}$ .

You will have $1,100.55 in the account after 2 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Deposit $1000 in a savings account that pays 4.8% interest compounded monthly.

This means that $P = 1000, r = 0.048, n = 12$ . So
