What is the center of the circle with the equation (x+4)2 + (y - 2)2 = 16?

Answers

Answer:

The center of the circle is

( - 4 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle is given by

(x - h)² + ( y - k)² = r²

where r is the radius

(h, k) is the center of the circle

The center of a circle is given by

( - h , - k)

From the question equation of the circle is

( x + 4)² + ( y - 2)² = 16

Comparing with the general equation above

( h , k) = ( 4 , - 2)

The center of the circle is

( - h , - k) = ( - 4 , -(-2))

We have the final answer as

( - 4 , 2)

Answers

ABC is a equilateral triangle .

Proof :-

Let's assume both circles as C1 and C2 [ as shown in the figure ]

AB is the radius of circle C1 AB is the radius of Circle C2

AC is the radius of circle C1.

BC is the radius of circle C2 .

AB and AC both are radius of circle C1 so both are equal ie AB = AC .

AB and BC both are radius of circle C 2 so both are equal ie AB = BC .

Hence we conclude that .

AB = BC = AC.

So the triangle is equilateral triangle.

AYUDA CON ESTO!!! ALGUIEN PORFAVOR

Answers

Answer:

Problem 1)  frequency:  160 heartbeats per minute, period= 0.00625 minutes (or 0.375 seconds)

Problem 2) Runner B has the smallest period

Problem 3) The sound propagates faster via a solid than via air, then the sound of the train will arrive faster via the rails.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of the football player is 160 heartbeats per minute.

The period is (using the equation you showed above):

[tex]Period = \frac{1}{frequency} = \frac{1}{160} \,minutes= 0.00625\,\,minutes = 0.375\,\,seconds[/tex]

second problem:

Runner A does 200 loops in 60 minutes so his frequency is:

[tex]\frac{200}{60} = \frac{10}{3} \approx 3.33[/tex]   loops per minute

then the period is: 0.3 minutes (does one loop in 0.3 minutes)

the other runner does 200 loops in 65 minutes, so his frequency is:

[tex]\frac{200}{65} = \frac{40}{13} \approx 3.08[/tex]   loops per minute

then the period is:

[tex]\frac{13}{40} =0.325\,\,\,minutes[/tex]

Therefore runner B has the smaller period

A prisoner is trapped in a cell containing 3 doors. The first door leads to a tunnelthat returns him to his cell after 2 days’ travel. The second leads to a tunnel thatreturns him to his cell after 4 day’s travel. The third door leads to freedom after 1day of travel. If it is assumed that the prisoner will always select doors 1,2,and 3with respective probabilities 0.5,0.3, and 0.2, what is the expected number of daysuntil the prisoner reaches freedom?

Answers

Answer:

2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom=E(x)=?

E(x)=x*p(x)

Where x is the number of days and p(x) is the probability associated with them.

X    1    2    3

P(x) 0.5 0.3 0.2

E(x)=1*0.5+2*0.3+3*0.2

E(x)=0.5+0.6+0.6

E(x)=1.7.

Thus, the expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom are 2 days.

Jake ran 10 1/6 miles in total (Mon, Tues, Wed).

Answer:

61/6 or 10.1666666667

Step-by-step explanation:

Monday = 4  1/4

Tuesday = 2  2/3

Wednesday = Monday - 1

=> Monday = 17/4 miles

=> Tuesday = 8/3 miles

=> Wednesday = 17/4 - 4/4 = 13/4 miles.

=> (17/4 + 13/4) + 8/3

=> 30/4 + 8/3

=> Take the LCM of the denominators.

=> LCM = 12

An 8-pack of beaded necklaces costs $7.60. What is the unit price?


Answers

Answer:

The unit price is $0.95 per pack.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit price, we must find the price per pack of beaded necklaces.  To do this, we should divide the total price ($7.60) by the number of items in the package (8).

$7.60/8 = $0.95

Therefore, the answer is that the unit price is $0.95.

A rectangular box with a square base contains 24 cubic feet. if the height of the box is 18 inches, how many feet are there in each side of the base?

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

V = Lwh

the volume (given) = 24 ft^3

the height (given) = 18" = 1.5'

24 = L*w*1.5

divide both sides by 1.5

16 = Lw

You need to find the number of feet in each side of the base

since the box has a square base

L = W

AND, found above, L*w = 16

so 4*4= 16

the probability that 2 randomly selected points from Q,R,S,T and W are noncollinear is

Answers

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since we are to find the probability that 2 randomly selected points from Q,R,S,T and W are non-collinear

Non collinear points are points that doesn't lie on the same straight line. From the diagram given, the two point that are non colliear are (QR, QS, QT and QW making 4 2random non collinear points. Hence out expected number of outcome is 4.

For the total possible outcome, we are to find the number of ways we can randomly select two points from the 5 points given and this can be done using the combination rule.

This can therefore be done in 5C2 number of ways.

5C2 = 5!/(5-2)!2!

5C2 = 5!/3!2!

5C2 = 5*4*3*2*1/3*2*2

5C2 = 5*2

5C2 = 10 different ways

Hence the total possible outcome is 10

Therefore, the probability that 2 randomly selected points from Q,R,S,T and W are noncollinear will be 4/10 = 2/5

The size of a television screen is given as 95 cm, correct to the nearest 5 cm.
Write down the upper bound of the size of the television screen.

Answers

Answer:

The upper bound is 97.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper bound is given as the value that is larger than or equal to all values in a data set, for example, in the data set, {3, 6, 16, 23, 25}, an upper bound  is 25, however, where the accuracy of the data is given, the upper bound can be found by the following relation

Where the number is given to the nearest 100, add and subtract  half of hundred to obtain the upper bound and lower bound respectively

For the question, given that the size of the television is given as 95 cm, correct to the nearest 5 cm, we add add half of 5 cm to get the upper bound as follows;

Upper bound = 95 cm + 5/2 cm = 97.5 cm

The upper bound = 97.5 cm.

How many times larger is the value of
86,000,000 than 8,600?

Answers

Answer:

a 1000 times// just divide them

Answer:

10,000 times Larger

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the multiple larger for 86,000,000 than 8,600, we simply will use the division operation and the result will be the multiple.

86,000,000 / 8,600 = 10,000

Hence, the number 86,000,000, is 10,000 times larger than 8,600.

Another method is simply to look at the additional zeroes that 86,000,000 has in comparison to 8,600.  Since we can see that 86 is the only non-zero digit within the two numbers, we can use the properties of the decimal system to compare.  Note that 86,000,000 has 6 zeroes, while 8,600 has two zeros.  This means that we will need 4 zeroes as part of our tens multiple, so we can say that 10,000 is the multiple.  Once again, we see that 86,000,000 is 10,000 times larger than 8,600.

Explain the importance of his next step, which is drawing a line through A and Y using a straightedge. This is to check to make sure that A is in the right place, since it was drawn using the arcs. Using a straightedge ensures that there is a line passes through A and Y. Because a line was drawn through point L, a similar line should be drawn through the corresponding point on AYZ.This is the other ray that will make up the angle AYZ and will complete the construction.
