A circular platform is to be built in a playground. The center of the structure is required to be equidistant from three support

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The coordinates for the location of the center of the platform are (0, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the circle of center (h , k) and radius r is:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Now,

- The center is equidistant from any point lies on the circumference of the circle

- There are three points equidistant from the center of the circle

- We have three unknowns in the equation of the circle h , k , r

Thus, let's substitute the coordinates of these point in the equation of the circle to find h , k , r.

The equation of the circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

∵ Points A(2,−3), B(4,3), and C(−2,5)

- Substitute the values of x and y the coordinates of these points

Point A (2 , -3)

(2 - h)² + (-3 - k)² = r² - - - (1)

Point B (4 , 3)

(4 - h)² + (3 - k)² = r² - - - - (2)

Point C (-2 , 5)

(-2 - h)² + (5 - k)² = r² - - - - (3)

- To find h , k equate equation (1) and (2) and same for equation (2) and (3) because all of them equal r²

Thus;

(2 - h)² + (-3 - k)² = (4 - h)² + (3 - k)² - - - - - (4)

(4 - h)² + (3 - k)² = (-2 - h)² + (5 - k)² - - - - -(5)

- Simplify (5);

h² - 8h + 16 + k² - 6k + 9 = h² + 4h + 4 + k² - 10k + 25

h² and k² will cancel out to give;

-8h - 6k + 25 = 4h - 10k + 29

Rearranging, we have;

12h - 4k = -4 - - - - (6)

Similarly, for equation 4;

(2 - h)² + (-3 - k)² = (4 - h)² + (3 - k)²

h² - 4h + 4 + k² + 6k + 9 = h² - 8h + 16 + k² - 6k + 9

h², k² and 9 will cancel out to give;

4 - 4h + 6k = 16 - 8h - 6k

Rearranging;

4h + 12k = 12 - - - - (7)

Divide by 4 to give;

h + 3k = 3

Making h the subject;

h = 3 - 3k

Put 3 - 3k for h in eq 6;

12(3 - 3k) - 4k = -4

36 - 36k - 4k = -4

40k = 40

k = 40/40

k = 1

h = 3 - 3(1)

h = 0

The coordinates for the location of the center of the platform are (0, 1)

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit

Ann [662]

Let
x--------> <span>the number of sandwich lunch specials sold
y-------> </span><span>the number of wrap lunch specials sold

we know that
2x+3y=1470

Part 1) </span><span>Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.

we know that
</span>the equation to slope-intercept form is of the form
y=mx+b
so
2x+3y=1470------> solve for y
3y=1470-2x-----> divide by 3 both sides
y=(-2/3)x+1470/3
y=(-2/3)x+490

the slope m=-2/3
the y-intercept is 490

Part 2) <span>Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences.

</span><span>the slope is -2/3 and the y-intercept is 490

Plot the point (0,490)------> the y-intercept.
With the slope count 3 squares to the right and 2 squares down and plot that point, which is (0+3,490-2)--------> (3,488)
Draw a line through the two points

Part 3) </span><span>Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.

In function notation, the equation is:
f(x)=(-2/3)x+490
The graph of this function represents how the value of the function varies as the value of x varies. Looking back at the question context, this graph specifically represents how many wraps could have been sold at each number of sandwich sales, in order to maintain the same profit of $1470.</span><span>

Part 4) </span>Graph the function. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work or you may use graphing technology

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

Part 5) Suppose Sal's total profit on lunch specials for the next month is $1,593. The profit amounts are the same: $2 for each sandwich and $3 for each wrap. In a paragraph of at least three complete sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are similar and how they are different

we have that
2x+3y=1593
3y=1593-2x--------> y=(-2/3)x+531
slope=(-2/3)
y intercept=531
therefore
similarities : same slope
differences : y intercepts are different.
<span>This is basically telling me that the lines are parallel lines because they have the same slope.
</span>
6) Below is a graph that represents the total profits for a third month. Write the equation of the line that represents this graph. Show your work or explain how you determined the equations

Select two points on the line and write down their coordinates

Let
A( 0,300) B (450,0)
a) find the slope
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)----> m=(0-300)/(450-0)----> m=-2/3
b) with the slope m=(-2/3) and the point A (0,300)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-300=(-2/3)*(x-0)----> y=(-2/3)x+300

the answer Part 6) is
y=(-2/3)x+300

5. What is the solution to the equation -3(h + 5) + 2 = 4(h + 6) - 9

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: d.h=−4

PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−3(h+5)+2=4(h+6)−9

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3(h+5)+2=4(h+6)−9

(−3)(h)+(−3)(5)+2=(4)(h)+(4)(6)+−9(Distribute)

−3h+−15+2=4h+24+−9

(−3h)+(−15+2)=(4h)+(24+−9)(Combine Like Terms)

−3h+−13=4h+15

−3h−13=4h+15

Step 2: Subtract 4h from both sides.

−3h−13−4h=4h+15−4h

−7h−13=15

Step 3: Add 13 to both sides.

−7h−13+13=15+13

−7h=28

Step 4: Divide both sides by -7.

−7h

−7

=

28

−7

h=−4

Lauryn’s wages were not as much as she had budgeted. How can her budget be modified so there will be a positive actual net incom

shutvik [7]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Her variable expenses can be reduced.

Explanation:

In a household budget, you have fixed expenses and variable expenses.

Fixed expenses are expenses that are the same from month to month, such as a car payment, rent, power bill, etc. These cannot be reduced; if you were to pay less on your car payment, your car would be repossessed; paying less than you owe on the power bill can result in your power being disconnected; etc.

Variable expenses are expenses that are different from month to month, such as food, clothing, shopping, etc. If you are dealing with a situation where your wages are less than you anticipate, you can reduce items within your variable expenses to make sure you have enough money. For example, you can purchase fewer clothes that pay period or cut your grocery bill down.
