<h3>Answer:  14.85 + c = 20</h3>

============================================================

Reason:

To compute the change, we subtract the amount William gives the cashier (the $20) and the price of the book ($14.85)

The change c is

c = 20-14.85

To rearrange this equation, we can add 14.85 to both sides to end up with 14.85 + c = 20

In other words, solving that equation in bold leads to c = 20-14.85 = 5.15 which is the change William is given.

----------------

Extra info (optional section)

If the cashier wanted to mentally figure out the change in his/her head, then notice the jump from 85 cents to 100 cents is 15 cents. That means we go from 14.85 to 15.00

Then the jump from $15 to $20 is an extra 5 dollars. Overall, the total change given back to William is 0.15+5 = 5.15 dollars.

The "n" and "U" should be drawn as curved lines (I'm drawing using the keys available to me but if this were hand-drawn the graph would be more ~ -curvy/wavy looking)

The Y-axis "Height in Feet": shows the height of their head from the ground in feet as they bounce
The X-axis "Length of Passing Time in Seconds": shows the seconds as they pass while jumping on the pogo stick
The assumption being made: The head isn't starting from 0 feet off the ground so we began the line near the 5-foot mark
Remember to label your x and y axises

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF ANGLE N?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

32 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on the circle, formed by two intersecting chords. Angle N perfectly fits this description. An inscribed angle is equal to 1/2 of its intercepted arc (the arc opposite the angle). The arc opposite angle N is equal to 64 degrees, so angle N is equal to 1/2 of that, or 32 degrees

1. A circle with center (-5, 2) is tangent to the y-axis. What is the radius of the circle? What is the equation of the circle?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  The center lies on the vertical line x = -5 and the the circle is tangent to (touches in one place only) the y-axis.  Thus, the radius is 5.

2)  Starting with (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 and comparing this to the given

                     (x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 6^2

we see that h = 4, k = -3 and r = 6.  The center is at (4, -3) and the radius is 6.

3)  Notice that A and B have the same x-coordinate, x = 15.  The center of the circle is thus (15, -2), where that -2 is the halfway point between the two given points in the vertical direction.   Arbitrarily choose A(15, 4) as one point on the circle.  Then the equation of this circle is

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = r^2 = 6^2, where the 6 is one half of the vertical distance between A(15, 4) and B(15, -8) (which is 12).
