OpenStudy (raden):

x^2 = 9 * (9+14) solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14.3?

OpenStudy (raden):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay. could you help me with some more?

OpenStudy (raden):

sure

OpenStudy (raden):

x * 9 = 8 * 23 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20.4?

OpenStudy (raden):

that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay ok i got another one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the value of x. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth. The figure is not drawn to scale. AB = 18, BC = 8, and CD = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@RadEn

OpenStudy (raden):

use the secant's theorem : BC * AC = x * CD or BC * (BC+AB) = x * CD so, 8 * (8+18) = x * 5 solve for x

OpenStudy (raden):

opsss, the equation above should BC * AC = x * (x+CD) or BC * (BC+AB) = x * (x+CD) so, 8 * (8+18) = x * (x+5) solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2+5x=208?

OpenStudy (raden):

yep, or it can be x^2 + 5x - 208 = 0 use the quadratic formula : x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh i dont know how to do that

OpenStudy (raden):

damn... i make a big mistake, sorry --" that should like this (BC+AB) BC = (x+CD) CD (8+18)8 = (x+5) 5 26 * 8 = 5x + 25 208 = 5x + 25 208 - 25 = 5x 183 = 5x x = 183/5 = 36.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh okay i see now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the diameter of the circle for BC = 10 and DC = 23. Round to the nearest tenth. The diagram is not drawn to scale.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@RadEn

OpenStudy (raden):

10 (10 + x) = 23^2 solve for x (i assumed the diameter of that circle is x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

52.9?

OpenStudy (raden):

10 (10 + x) = 23^2 10 (10 + x) = 529 divide by 10 from both sides, giving us 10 (10 + x)/10 = 529/10 10+x = 52.9 subtracted 10 from both sides, 10+x-10 = 52.9 - 10 x = 42.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i had got 529 idk why i did that

OpenStudy (raden):

hehe, just forgot about 10 beside x :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write the standard equation for the circle. center (–6, 9), r = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yh lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is (x + 6)2 + (y – 9)2 = 9 right?

OpenStudy (raden):

use the formula : (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 with h,k is the centre of circle and r its radius actually, becomes like yours (x + 6)^2 + (y – 9)^2 = 9 good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yayy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the center and radius of the circle with equation (x + 2)2 + (y + 10)2 = 4.

OpenStudy (raden):

change to be : (x - (-2))^2 + (y - (-10))^2 = 2^2 therefore the centre is (-2,-10) and its radius r = 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh wow your really smart :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the equation of the circle with center (3, 5) that passes through the point (–4, 10)?

OpenStudy (raden):

u have to find the radius of that circle, first use the standard form equation again : (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 now, plug (h,k) = (3,5) and x,y = (-4,10) to formula above : (-4-3)^2 + (10-5)^2 = r^2 (-7)^2 + 5^2 = r^2 49 + 25 = r^2 so, r^2 = 74

OpenStudy (raden):

subtitute back the value of r^2 = 74 to equation above, it is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 (x-3)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 74

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay then so for this one What is the equation of the circle with center (0, 0) that passes through the point (5, –4)? the amswer would be x2 + y2 = 41?

OpenStudy (raden):

yes, the standard formula the equation of circle with the centre (0,0) is x^2 + y^2 = r^2 to get r^2 just subtitute the point given (5,-4), ending like yours :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaay im learning lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A manufacturer is designing a two-wheeled cart that can maneuver through tight spaces. On one test model, the wheel placement (center) and radius is modeled by the equation (x + 2)2 + (y – 1)2 = 4. What is the graph that shows the position and radius of the wheels?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are the choices

OpenStudy (raden):

i will go the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay yeah that was right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help with some more

OpenStudy (raden):

can u post it in the new question, please my laptop be hanging if there are to many pics :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok sure

OpenStudy (raden):

thanks :)
