i have *screenshots * its only two and i really need help with theses two questions :(

For the circle, it looks as though the radius is 3 and the center is at (3, -2)

OpenStudy (anteater):

So, you have (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 and for your circle h=3 and k = -2 and r = 3

OpenStudy (anteater):

So if you put those values into that general formula, what would the equation of your circle look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um i don't know im to tired but i have to finish my work by tomorrow because you know last day of school but i don't know what it would look like

OpenStudy (anteater):

If you just plug the values in you get: (x - 3)^2 + (y -(-2))^2 = 3^2 OR (x-3)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay but isn't that what you had just wrote above ?a

OpenStudy (anteater):

Yes, I just plugged the coordinates of the center and the value of the radius into the formula. Sorry if I did it twice. I'm kind of tired myself! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol now i know why you did it twice

OpenStudy (anteater):

And for the other problem they tell you the center is at (-4,-3), so you know that on one side of your equation you will have (x + 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 . Then we can find the distance between the center, (-4,-3), and the point on the circle, (6,2), and that will give us the radius.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so .. i didn't even know we had to find the radius im going to look at the question again

OpenStudy (anteater):

\[\sqrt{(6-(-4))^2 + (2-(-3))^2 }= \sqrt{10^2 + 5^2 } = \sqrt{125} \]

OpenStudy (anteater):

So, the radius is the square root of 125; so then r^2 = 125. And so the equation of that circle is: (x+4)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 125

OpenStudy (anteater):

Or I see they left it written like this: (x-(-4))^2 + (y-(-3))^2 = 125

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w so you want me to find the sqrt of 125

OpenStudy (anteater):

So that last one would be the correct choice

OpenStudy (anteater):

Oh, no, you don't need to find the square root of 125. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anteater):

125 is the radius squared, and it is the right hand side of the equation of the circle in standard form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (anteater):

All I was saying was that the distance between the two points they gave you was\[\sqrt{125}\], so then r^2 = 125

OpenStudy (anteater):

I hope that helped!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i thought you said oh nevermindi just reread what you wrote but yes it did help and thank you for your help

OpenStudy (anteater):

You are welcome :) Any more work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually yes .. :(

OpenStudy (anteater):

Math?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

geometry

OpenStudy (anteater):

How many questions do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anteater):

Oh! I can help with one more, if that will make the evening better!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ok

OpenStudy (anteater):

So let's see, the volume of the large cube is 5832 cubic meters and the volume of the small one is 343 cubic meters. So, volume of a cube would be found by cubing one side, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ?

OpenStudy (anteater):

Yes :) So, to find the length of a side of the large cube, you would take the cube root of 5832. To do that on the calculator: 5832^(1/3) should give you the length of the side of the large cube.

OpenStudy (anteater):

Please let me know what you get for the length of the side of the large cube.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 1944 but 't wouldn't the answer be in ratio form ?

OpenStudy (anteater):

Well, actually, you should get 18 for the side of the large cube, since 18 X 18 X 18 = 5832

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol :( idk what i was doing but okay

OpenStudy (anteater):

Then if you take the cube root of 343, by raising 343 to the 1/3 power, you should get 7 for the length of the side of the small cube.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18:7

OpenStudy (anteater):

It is either 18:7 or 7:18 ... let me check on how they worded it. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anteater):

They are comparing the volume of the small cube to the large one, so yes I think you would want 7:18, since the small cube has linear dimensions that are 7/18 the size of the large one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (anteater):

Although my brain is a little fuzzy tonight ... and so maybe it is the other way around.

OpenStudy (anteater):

The sides of the small one are 7/18 the size of the large one. And the sides of the large one are 18/7 the size of the small one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i was just about to say that but ill go with 7; 18 but thanks for your help

OpenStudy (anteater):

Wlcm!!!

OpenStudy (anteater):

Have a good night and a good summer!!! Almost there! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i will and you too have a good night and summer

OpenStudy (anteater):

Thanks! Bye!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bye
