the equation of a circle in general form is x squared + y squared + 20x + 12 y + 15 equals 0what is the equation of the circle in standard form ​

The solution is : the area, in square feet, of the mat is 169π/4 ft^2.

Area is defined as the total space taken up by a flat (2-D) surface or shape of an object. The space enclosed by the boundary of a plane figure is called its area. The area of a figure is the number of unit squares that cover the surface of a closed figure. Area is measured in square units like cm² and m². Area of a shape is a two dimensional quantity.

here, we have,

we know that,

Circumference = π * d

Diameter = 2r

Area of a circle = πr²

From our first equation, we can find our value for our diameter:

We do this by dividing 13π by π to get 13.

so, we get,

C = πd

or, 13π = πd

or, d = 13π/π

or, d = 13

Using our second equation, we can find out the value for our radius:

d = 2r

so, r = 13/2

Now we have a value for our radius, we can use our third equation to find out our area:

A = πr²

so, A = π(13/2)²

or, A = 169π/4

Hence, The solution is : the area, in square feet, of the mat is 169π/4 ft^2.

The area of the circular mat with a circumference of 13π feet is 42.25π square feet, calculated by first determining the radius from the circumference and then using the area formula.

To find the area of the circular mat when given the circumference, we can start by recalling the relationship between the circumference (C) and the radius (r) of a circle. The formula for circumference is C = 2πr. From this, we can solve for the radius:

C = 2πr
13π = 2πr
r = 13π / 2π
r = 6.5 feet

Now we have the radius, so we can find the area (A) of the circle using the formula A = πr²:

A = π(6.5)²
A = π×42.25
A = 42.25π square feet

Thus, the area of the circular mat is 42.25π square feet.

Answer:

Luke drew the greater garden plan

The area of the greatest garden  = 225 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

* The gardens are in the shape of rectangle and square

- The Nancy's garden is in a shape of a rectangle because it has

  two different dimensions, 18 feet and 12 feet

- The Luke's garden is in a shape of a square because it has

  two same dimensions, 15 feet and 15 feet

- The area of the rectangle = L × W

- The area of the square = L × L = L²

∵ In Nancy garden, L = 18 feet and W = 12 feet

∴ The area = 18 × 12 = 216 feet²

∵ In Luke garden, L = 15 feet

∴ The area = 15² = 225 feet²

∵ 225 > 216

* The area of Luke garden is greater than the area of Nancy garden

* Luke drew the greater garden plan

* The area of the greatest garden = 225 feet²

Luke drew the garden plan with the greater area. His plan measures 15 feet by 15 feet, resulting in an area of 225 square feet compared to Nancy's 18 feet by 12 feet garden plan, which has an area of 216 square feet.

To determine who drew the garden plans with the greater area, we must calculate the area of each rectangle. The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. For Nancy's garden plan, which is 18 feet by 12 feet, the area is calculated as follows:

Area = Length × Width = 18 feet × 12 feet = 216 square feet.

For Luke's garden plan, which is a square of 15 feet by 15 feet, the area is calculated as:

Area = Length × Width = 15 feet × 15 feet = 225 square feet.

Comparing the two areas, Luke's garden plan is 225 square feet and Nancy's is 216 square feet. Therefore, Luke drew the garden plans with the greater area.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The square has 4 sides with length 4

The right triangle has the right side equal to 4yd + 4yd(from the square) = 8yd

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find that the left side of the triangle has length = 10yd

The area of the whole thing is the area of the square + the area of the triangle

The formula for the area of a square with sides l is [tex]A_s = l^2[/tex]

The area of the triangle is trickier, but you can imagine tracing a line in the left side and the upper side to form a rectangle, and the area of that is A = [tex]l * L[/tex], the area of the triangle will be half the area of the rectangle so it'll be [tex]A = \frac{6 * 8}{2} = 24 (yd)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]S_n=1+0.1+0.01+\cdots+\dfrac1{10^n}[/tex]

[tex]0.1S_n=0.1+0.01+0.001+\cdots+\dfrac1{10^{n+1}}[/tex]

To turn a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point so that there is only 1 number to the left of the decimal point.

Count the number of spaces you moved the decimal point.

If you move the decimal point to the right, the exponent is negative, if you move it to the left the exponent is positive.

0.000075

You need to move the decimal point 5 places to the right to get 7.5

Because it was moved to the right, the exponent is negative 5

The answer would be 7.5 x 10^-5 which is B.

The scientific notation of 0.000075 is 7.5 x [tex]10^{-5[/tex]. This is because in converting to scientific notation, the goal is to have a number >=1 but <10 multiplied by 10 raised to an exponent. In this case, the decimal was moved 5 places to the right to result in a number <10.

In mathematics, scientific notation is used to express very large or very small numbers in a simpler way by using powers of ten. In this case, you're trying to represent the number 0.000075. To do this accurately in scientific notation, we would write it as 7.5 x [tex]10^{-5[/tex]. This is because the exponent of the 10 represents how many places the decimal point was moved to convert the number to a new form where a number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10 is multiplied by 10 raised to an exponent.

In the case of option D - 75 x [tex]10^{-6[/tex], it's suggesting we moved the decimal place 6 places to the right to a number that's >= 10, which is incorrect. The decimal is moved 5 places to the right to get a number that's less than 10. Thus, the correct answer is B - 7.5 x [tex]10^{-5[/tex].

24 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for the volume of a cylinder and cone are ...

volume of a cylinder = πr^2·h

volume of a cone = (1/3)πr^2·h

For the same radius and height, the cone has 1/3 the volume of the cylinder. Your cone's volume is ...

(1/3)·(72 cubic inches) = 24 cubic inches

Final answer:

To find the volume of a cone with the same height and radius as a cylinder with a volume of 72 cubic inches, divide the cylinder's volume by 3. The resulting volume of the cone is 24 cubic inches.

Explanation:

Calculating the Volume of a Cone

The student's question involves finding the volume of a cone that has the same height and radius as a given cylinder with a known volume. Since the volume of the cylinder is given as 72 cubic inches, we can use this information to find the volume of the cone. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. For a cone with the same height and radius, the formula to calculate the volume is V = ⅓πr²h. This formula for cone volume is derived from the fact that it's one-third of the volume of a cylinder with the same height and radius.

Given that the cylinder's volume is 72 cubic inches, the volume of the cone would be V = ⅓ × 72 cubic inches, which simplifies to V = 24 cubic inches. This means the volume of the cone is 24 cubic inches.

To summarize the process:

Use the given volume of the cylinder to reference the volume of the cone.

Apply the formula for the cone's volume: V = ⅓πr²h.

Since the volume of the cylinder is three times that of the cone, divide the cylinder's volume by 3 to get the cone's volume.

  24 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an arithmetic sequence is the average of the first and last terms, multiplied by the number of terms. The last term is given by ...

  an = a1 + (n-1)d

We have a sequence with first term a1 = 2 and common difference d = 2. So the last term is ...

  an = 2+ 2(n -1) = 2n

Then the average of first and last terms times the number of terms is ...

  Sn = 600 = n(2 + 2n)/2 = n(n+1) . . . . . . close to n²

We can solve the quadratic in n, or we can estimate the value of n as the integer just below the square root of 600.

  √600 ≈ 24.5

so we believe n = 24.

_____

Check

  S24 = 24·25 = 600 . . . . . . as required.

The number of terms in the arithmetic sequence (2,4,6,8,...) that would give a sum of 600 is approximately 35. This conclusion is reached by substituting the values into the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence and solving the quadratic equation derived from it.

The subject question pertains to an arithmetic sequence and seeks to find the number of terms that would give a sum of 600. Considering the arithmetic sequence defined as (2,4,6,8....), the difference (d) between consecutive terms is 2, and the first term (a) is 2 itself. The formula for the sum (S) of an arithmetic sequence is S=n/2 * (2a + (n-1)d) where n is the number of terms. Therefore, we want to solve the equation for n providing that the sum S is 600:

600 = n/2 * (2 * 2 + (n - 1) * 2) simplifies to 600 = n * (2 + n - 1) which leads to the quadratic equation n^2 + n - 300 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula [tex]\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex], we end up having  [tex]n = -1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 1200}[/tex]or  [tex]n = -1 \pm \sqrt{1201}[/tex]

Therefore, we have two potential solutions: n = -1 + sqrt(1201) and n = -1 - sqrt(1201). However, since the number of terms cannot be negative or fraction in a sequence, the only valid solution here is n = -1 + sqrt(1201) which equals approximately 35. This means that 35 terms of this arithmetic sequence would give a sum of 600.

Table 3, with the ordered pairs (-3, -2), (0, 0), and (2, 4), appears to represent a linear function due to the consistent changes in 'y' as 'x' increases.

Let's analyze each table to determine which one appears to represent a linear function:

Table 1:

In this table, as 'x' increases by 3 units (from 0 to 3) and then by 1 unit (from 3 to 4), 'y' changes from 2 to 1 and then to 6. The changes in 'y' are not consistent, so this table does not appear to represent a linear function.

Table 2:

In this table, as 'x' increases by 5 units (from -1 to 4) and then by 2 units (from 4 to 6), 'y' changes from -3 to 2 and then to 4. The changes in 'y' are not consistent, so this table does not appear to represent a linear function.

Table 3:

In this table, as 'x' increases by 3 units (from -3 to 0) and then by 2 units (from 0 to 2), 'y' changes from -2 to 0 and then to 4. The changes in 'y' are consistent, indicating a linear relationship between 'x' and 'y.'

Table 4:

In this table, as 'x' increases by 5 units (from 0 to 5) and then by 2 units (from 2 to 0), 'y' changes from -2 to 2 and then to -7. The changes in 'y' are not consistent, so this table does not appear to represent a linear function.

Based on the consistent changes in 'y' as 'x' increases in Table 3, it appears to represent a linear function. So, Table 3 is the one that shows a set of ordered pairs that appears to lie on the graph of a linear function.

For out problem, P = 4532, r is 0.06 (6%), n is 12 (since monthly compounding in 1 year), t = 6. Plugging these into the equation, we get A (the future amount).

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\\A=4532(1+\frac{0.06}{12})^{(12)(6)}\\A=4532(1.005)^{72}\\A=6490[/tex]

This is the amount including interest. Hence,

Interest earned = 6490 - 4532 = $1958

Your total investment would be A, which is $6490

Answer:

[tex]m\angle MEJ=25^{\circ}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The arcs LY, KM, KL and MJ together form the full revolution angle, thus

[tex]4x+50^{\circ}+6x+x+10^{\circ}+4x=360^{\circ},\\ \\15x=300^{\circ},\\ \\x=20^{\circ}.[/tex]

Note that

[tex]m\angle MOJ=4x=80^{\circ},[/tex]

then

[tex]m\angle MLJ=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 80^{\circ}=40^{\circ}.[/tex]

So,

[tex]m\angle ELM=180^{\circ}-40^{\circ}=140^{\circ}.[/tex]

Also

[tex]m\angle LOK=30^{\circ},[/tex]

so

[tex]m\angle KML=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 30^{\circ}=15^{\circ}.[/tex]

In triangle EML,

[tex]m\angle MEL+m\angle EML+m\angle ELM=180^{\circ},\\ \\m\angle MEL=180^{\circ}-15^{\circ}-140^{\circ}=25^{\circ}.[/tex]

Thus, [tex]m\angle MEJ=25^{\circ}.[/tex]
