A circle has a center located at the point (2,5)(-2, 5) and a radius of 66 units. What is the equation of this circle in the (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: (x+2)2+(y5)2=36(x + 2)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 36

Cevap

The equation of the circle is (x+2)2+(y5)2=36(x + 2)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 36.
The correct equation is found by substituting the center (2,5)(-2, 5) and radius 66 into the standard equation (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2. This yields (x(2))2+(y5)2=62(x - (-2))^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 6^2, which simplifies to (x+2)2+(y5)2=36(x + 2)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 36.

1
Identify the standard form equation of a circle.
The standard equation is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k)(h, k) represents the center coordinates and rr represents the radius.
This general equation is the mathematical template for representing any circle in a coordinate plane.
2
Substitute the given values for the center (2,5)(-2, 5) and the radius 66 into the equation.
(x(2))2+(y5)2=62(x - (-2))^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 6^2
Plugging in h=2h = -2, k=5k = 5, and r=6r = 6 customizes the general formula to this specific circle.
3
Simplify the signs of the terms and calculate the squared radius.
(x+2)2+(y5)2=36(x + 2)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 36
Subtracting 2-2 simplifies to adding 22, and squaring the radius of 66 yields 3636.

A laboratory technician mixes two solutions. The volume of the first solution is represented by 12(x5)\frac{1}{2}(x - 5) liters, and the volume of the second solution is represented by 13(2x+1)\frac{1}{3}(2x + 1) liters, where xx is a positive real number. If the sum of the volumes of these two solutions is 66 liters, what is the value of 3x43x - 4?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1717

Cevap

The value of the expression is 1717.
The sum of the volumes of the two solutions is 66 liters, which translates to the linear equation 12(x5)+13(2x+1)=6\frac{1}{2}(x - 5) + \frac{1}{3}(2x + 1) = 6. Multiplying the entire equation by the least common multiple of the denominators, 66, yields 3(x5)+2(2x+1)=363(x - 5) + 2(2x + 1) = 36. Distributing the constants leads to 3x15+4x+2=363x - 15 + 4x + 2 = 36. Combining like terms gives 7x13=367x - 13 = 36. Adding 1313 to both sides results in 7x=497x = 49, which gives x=7x = 7. Substituting x=7x = 7 into the expression 3x43x - 4 yields 3(7)4=173(7) - 4 = 17, which is the correct value.

Instead of clearing the fractions immediately, we can distribute the fractions first: 12x2.5+23x+13=6\frac{1}{2}x - 2.5 + \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{1}{3} = 6. Converting to fractions with a common denominator of 6, we get 36x156+46x+26=6\frac{3}{6}x - \frac{15}{6} + \frac{4}{6}x + \frac{2}{6} = 6, which simplifies to 76x136=6\frac{7}{6}x - \frac{13}{6} = 6. Adding 136\frac{13}{6} to both sides yields 76x=496\frac{7}{6}x = \frac{49}{6}, so 7x=497x = 49, and x=7x = 7. Substituting x=7x = 7 into the expression 3x43x - 4 yields 1717.

Cevap: 4-4

Cevap

The value of rr is 4-4.
The correct value of rr is 4-4. The slope of line l1l_1 is m1=r24m_1 = \frac{r - 2}{4} and the slope of line l2l_2 is m2=8r4m_2 = \frac{8 - r}{4}. Given that m2=2m1m_2 = -2m_1, substituting these expressions yields 8r4=2(r24)\frac{8 - r}{4} = -2\left(\frac{r - 2}{4}\right). Multiplying both sides by 44 gives 8r=2r+48 - r = -2r + 4.

In the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane, a triangle undergoes a sequence of transformations. First, it is reflected across the line y=xy = -x. Then, the resulting figure is translated 33 units to the right and 22 units down. If the vertex AA'' of the final image is located at (1,5)(-1, 5), what were the coordinates of the original vertex AA?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: (7,4)(-7, 4)

Cevap

The original coordinates of vertex AA are (7,4)(-7, 4).
The coordinates of the original vertex are found by reversing the sequence of transformations. Starting from the final image at (1,5)(-1, 5), we first reverse the translation by moving 33 units to the left and 22 units up, which gives the intermediate point (4,7)(-4, 7). Then, we apply the reflection across the line y=xy = -x to this intermediate point. The reflection rule swaps the coordinates and negates them, mapping (4,7)(-4, 7) to (7,4)(-7, 4).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the forward transformation rules for a point (x,y)(x, y).
The reflection across y=xy = -x maps (x,y)(y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, -x). The translation 33 units right and 22 units down maps (x,y)(x+3,y2)(x', y') \rightarrow (x' + 3, y' - 2).
Understanding the forward transformations allows us to set up the equations or work backward systematically.
2
Work backward from the final image A(1,5)A''(-1, 5) by reversing the translation.
Reversing a translation of 33 units right and 22 units down means translating 33 units left and 22 units up. Applying this to A(1,5)A''(-1, 5) yields (13,5+2)=(4,7)(-1 - 3, 5 + 2) = (-4, 7).
This gives the intermediate coordinates of the point AA' before the translation occurred.
3
Reverse the reflection across the line y=xy = -x.
A reflection across y=xy = -x is its own inverse. Applying the mapping (x,y)(y,x)(x', y') \rightarrow (-y', -x') to the intermediate point (4,7)(-4, 7) yields (7,4)(-7, 4).
This step recovers the original pre-image coordinates of vertex AA.

By applying the product property of logarithms, the right side of the given equation logx+logy\log x + \log y simplifies to log(xy)\log(xy). This transforms the equation to log(x+y)=log(xy)\log(x+y) = \log(xy). Equating the arguments gives the algebraic equation x+y=xyx+y=xy. Rearranging this equation to group all yy terms on one side yields x=xyyx = xy - y. Factoring out yy gives x=y(x1)x = y(x-1). Finally, dividing both sides by x1x-1 results in the equation stating that yy is equal to xx divided by the quantity xx minus one.

1
Apply the product property of logarithms to the right side of the equation: logx+logy=log(xy)\log x + \log y = \log(xy).
The equation becomes log(x+y)=log(xy)\log(x + y) = \log(xy).
This allows both sides to be expressed as a single logarithm with the same base.
2
Equate the arguments of the logarithms, since log(u)=log(v)\log(u) = \log(v) implies u=vu = v for positive real numbers.
x+y=xyx + y = xy
To eliminate the logarithms and work with a purely algebraic equation.
3
Isolate the terms containing yy on one side of the equation.
x=xyyx = xy - y
Grouping the yy terms on the same side is a necessary step to factor out the variable we want to solve for.
4
Factor out yy from the right side and divide both sides by the remaining coefficient x1x - 1.
x=y(x1)    y=xx1x = y(x - 1) \implies y = \frac{x}{x-1} (for x>1x > 1 to keep yy positive and avoid division by zero).
This completely isolates yy in terms of xx.

In a Cartesian coordinate system, the point A(2,4)A(2, -4) is translated 44 units to the left and 33 units up to form point BB. If point BB is then reflected across the line y=xy = -x to form point CC, what are the coordinates of point CC?

Cevap: (1,2)(1, 2)

Cevap

(1,2)(1, 2)
First, the point (2,4)(2, -4) is translated 44 units left and 33 units up by subtracting 44 from the xx-coordinate and adding 33 to the yy-coordinate, which yields (2,1)(-2, -1). Next, this point is reflected across the line y=xy = -x by swapping the coordinates and negating both, which results in the point (1,2)(1, 2).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the translation to point A(2,4)A(2, -4).
Point BB has coordinates (2,1)(-2, -1).
Translating a point 44 units to the left subtracts 44 from the xx-coordinate, and translating 33 units up adds 33 to the yy-coordinate: (24,4+3)=(2,1)(2 - 4, -4 + 3) = (-2, -1).
2
Apply the reflection across the line y=xy = -x to point B(2,1)B(-2, -1).
Point CC has coordinates (1,2)(1, 2).
Reflecting a point (x,y)(x, y) across the line y=xy = -x swaps the coordinates and negates both, mapping (x,y)(y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, -x). Thus, (2,1)((1),(2))=(1,2)(-2, -1) \rightarrow (-(-1), -(-2)) = (1, 2).

The correct answer is 32. The diagonal of a square divides it into two congruent 45-45-90 right triangles, where the diagonal is the hypotenuse. The ratio of the diagonal to the side length in a 45-45-90 triangle is 2\sqrt{2} to 11. Therefore, a square with a diagonal of 88 feet has a side length of s=82s = \frac{8}{\sqrt{2}} feet. The area of the square is s2=(82)2=642=32s^2 = \left(\frac{8}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 = \frac{64}{2} = 32 square feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Relate the diagonal of a square to its side length using special right triangles.
The diagonal of a square splits the square into two 45-45-90 right triangles. The hypotenuse of these triangles is the diagonal, 88 feet, and the legs are the sides of the square, ss. The relationship is s2=8s\sqrt{2} = 8.
In a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is 2\sqrt{2} times the length of a leg.
2
Solve for the side length ss of the square tabletop.
s=82s = \frac{8}{\sqrt{2}} feet.
Divide both sides of the equation by 2\sqrt{2} to isolate the side length ss.
3
Calculate the area of the square tabletop.
Area =s2=(82)2=642=32= s^2 = \left(\frac{8}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 = \frac{64}{2} = 32 square feet.

1
Convert the fraction to decimal form
0.4(3p10)1.2=0.4(p+5)0.4(3p - 10) - 1.2 = 0.4(p + 5)
Converting 25\frac{2}{5} to 0.40.4 makes all terms decimals, simplifying further operations.
2
Divide both sides of the equation by 0.40.4
(3p10)3=p+5(3p - 10) - 3 = p + 5
Since 0.40.4 is a common factor and 1.2/0.4=31.2 / 0.4 = 3, dividing both sides by 0.40.4 simplifies the coefficients.

Simplify the left side of the equation
3p13=p+53p - 13 = p + 5
Combine the constant terms 10-10 and 3-3 to simplify the expression.

Isolate the variable terms on one side
2p=182p = 18
Subtract pp from both sides and add 1313 to both sides.

34
The perimeters of ABD\triangle ABD and ACD\triangle ACD are equal, and since AB=AC=13AB = AC = 13, this forces BD=CDBD = CD, making DD the midpoint of BCBC. In the isosceles triangle ABC\triangle ABC, the median ADAD is perpendicular to BCBC, making ABD\triangle ABD a right triangle. By the Pythagorean theorem, BD2+AD2=169BD^2 + AD^2 = 169. Since ADAD is an integer, BDBD must also be an integer (a half-integer would result in AD2AD^2 ending in .25.25, which cannot be a perfect square of an integer). The only positive integer solutions for (BD,AD)(BD, AD) are (5,12)(5, 12) and (12,5)(12, 5). This results in BC=2BDBC = 2 \cdot BD being either 1010 or 2424. The sum of these possible values is 10+24=3410 + 24 = 34.

1
Set the perimeters of ABD\triangle ABD and ACD\triangle ACD equal to each other.
BD=CDBD = CD
Since AB=AC=13AB = AC = 13, equating AB+BD+AD=AC+CD+ADAB + BD + AD = AC + CD + AD simplifies directly to BD=CDBD = CD.
2
Determine the relationship between ADAD and BCBC.
ABD\triangle ABD is a right triangle with hypotenuse 1313.
In an isosceles triangle, the median to the base is also the altitude, so ADBCAD \perp BC.
3
Apply the Pythagorean theorem to ABD\triangle ABD.
BD2+AD2=169BD^2 + AD^2 = 169
The sum of the squares of the legs in right triangle ABD\triangle ABD must equal the square of the hypotenuse AB=13AB = 13.
4
Analyze the parity and integer constraints of BDBD and ADAD.
BDBD must be a positive integer.
If BDBD were a half-integer, BD2BD^2 would end in .25.25, preventing AD2AD^2 from being an integer, which contradicts the given condition that ADAD is an integer.
5
Identify the Pythagorean triples with a hypotenuse of 1313.
(BD,AD){(5,12),(12,5)}(BD, AD) \in \{(5, 12), (12, 5)\}
The only positive integer solutions to x2+y2=132x^2 + y^2 = 13^2 are (5,12)(5, 12) and (12,5)(12, 5).
6
Calculate the possible lengths of BCBC and sum them.
BC{10,24}BC \in \{10, 24\}, and their sum is 3434.
Since DD is the midpoint of BCBC, the length of BCBC is 2BD2 \cdot BD, yielding 25=102 \cdot 5 = 10 and 212=242 \cdot 12 = 24. Both satisfy the triangle inequality because BC<AB+AC=26BC < AB + AC = 26.

Cevap

The correct answer is 44.
To solve 8x2=(14)x78^{x - 2} = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{x - 7}, express both bases as powers of 22. Since 8=238 = 2^3 and 14=22\frac{1}{4} = 2^{-2}, the equation can be written as (23)x2=(22)x7(2^3)^{x-2} = (2^{-2})^{x-7}. Using the power of a power property (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{mn}, we simplify this to 23x6=22x+142^{3x - 6} = 2^{-2x + 14}. Because the bases are equal, their exponents must be equal: 3x6=2x+143x - 6 = -2x + 14. Adding 2x2x and 66 to both sides yields 5x=205x = 20, which simplifies to x=4x = 4.

A software company's weekly revenue, RR, in thousands of dollars, is modeled by the function R(x)=x2+8xR(x) = -x^2 + 8x, where xx represents the price of the software in dollars. The company's weekly operating cost, CC, in thousands of dollars, is modeled by the function C(x)=2x+5C(x) = 2x + 5. The company breaks even when its weekly revenue equals its weekly operating cost. What is the sum of the possible software prices, in dollars, at which the company breaks even?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 6

Cevap

The sum of the possible software prices at which the company breaks even is 6.
To find the software prices at which the company breaks even, we set the revenue function R(x)R(x) equal to the cost function C(x)C(x), which gives x2+8x=2x+5-x^2 + 8x = 2x + 5. Rearranging this equation into standard quadratic form gives x26x+5=0x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0. Factoring this expression yields (x5)(x1)=0(x - 5)(x - 1) = 0, meaning the individual solutions are x=5x = 5 and x=1x = 1. The sum of these possible break-even software prices is 5+1=65 + 1 = 6.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set the revenue function equal to the cost function.
x2+8x=2x+5-x^2 + 8x = 2x + 5
The break-even points occur where the revenue and cost are equal.
2
Rearrange the terms to set the equation to zero.
x26x+5=0x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0
Moving all terms to one side of the equation puts it in standard quadratic form, allowing us to solve for xx.
3
Factor the quadratic equation.
(x5)(x1)=0(x - 5)(x - 1) = 0
Factoring is a standard method to find the roots of a quadratic equation of the form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
4
Find the individual roots by setting each factor to zero.
x=5x = 5 and x=1x = 1
If the product of two factors is zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.
5
Calculate the sum of the solutions.
5+1=65 + 1 = 6
The question specifically asks for the sum of the possible prices.

An infinite geometric series has a first term of 1212 and a sum of 88. What is the common ratio of this series?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 12-\frac{1}{2}

Cevap

The correct common ratio is 12-\frac{1}{2}.
The correct answer is 12-\frac{1}{2}. The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series is S=a11rS = \frac{a_1}{1 - r}. Substituting the first term a1=12a_1 = 12 and the sum S=8S = 8 gives 8=121r8 = \frac{12}{1 - r}. Multiplying both sides by 1r1 - r yields 8(1r)=128(1 - r) = 12, which simplifies to 88r=128 - 8r = 12. Subtracting 88 from both sides gives 8r=4-8r = 4. Dividing by 8-8 gives r=12r = -\frac{1}{2}. Since 12<1|-\frac{1}{2}| < 1, the series converges.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Write the formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series.
S=a11rS = \frac{a_1}{1 - r}
This formula relates the sum (SS), the first term (a1a_1), and the common ratio (rr) of an infinite geometric series where r<1|r| < 1.
2
Substitute the given values into the formula.
8=121r8 = \frac{12}{1 - r}
Replacing SS with 88 and a1a_1 with 1212 leaves the common ratio rr as the only unknown variable.
3
Solve for the common ratio rr.
8(1r)=1288r=128r=4r=48=128(1 - r) = 12 \Rightarrow 8 - 8r = 12 \Rightarrow -8r = 4 \Rightarrow r = -\frac{4}{8} = -\frac{1}{2}
Multiplying by the denominator and isolating rr yields the value of the common ratio.

The linear relationship is modeled by T(t)=mt+bT(t) = mt + b. Calculating the slope mm gives 521/21/3=31/6=18\frac{5 - 2}{1/2 - 1/3} = \frac{3}{1/6} = 18. Substituting the point (1/3,2)(1/3, 2) into the equation yields 2=18(1/3)+b2 = 18(1/3) + b, which simplifies to 2=6+b2 = 6 + b, giving b=4b = -4. Thus, the initial temperature at t=0t = 0 is 4C-4^\circ\text{C}.

Find the constant rate of change (slope, mm) using the points (13,2)(\frac{1}{3}, 2) and (12,5)(\frac{1}{2}, 5).
m=521213=316=18m = \frac{5 - 2}{\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{3}{\frac{1}{6}} = 18
The rate of change represents the slope of the linear relationship between time and temperature.

Use the slope-intercept form T(t)=mt+bT(t) = mt + b and the point (13,2)(\frac{1}{3}, 2) to solve for the vertical intercept (bb), which represents the initial temperature.
2=18(13)+b2=6+bb=42 = 18(\frac{1}{3}) + b \Rightarrow 2 = 6 + b \Rightarrow b = -4
The initial temperature occurs at time t=0t = 0, which corresponds to the yy-intercept (bb) of the linear equation.

53-\frac{5}{3}
The correct answer is found by converting the standard form equation 5x+3y=125x + 3y = -12 into slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b). Subtracting 5x5x from both sides gives 3y=5x123y = -5x - 12. Dividing both sides by 33 yields y=53x4y = -\frac{5}{3}x - 4. Thus, the slope of the line is the coefficient of xx, which is 53-\frac{5}{3}.

(9,5)(-9, 5)
To find the coordinates of the image, we apply the transformations in the specified order. First, reflecting the point (3,4)(3, -4) across the line y=xy = x swaps the xx- and yy-coordinates, resulting in (4,3)(-4, 3). Second, translating the point 55 units to the left subtracts 55 from the xx-coordinate, and translating 22 units up adds 22 to the yy-coordinate: (45,3+2)=(9,5)(-4 - 5, 3 + 2) = (-9, 5).

The sum of the first three terms of a geometric sequence is given by S3=a1(1+r+r2)S_3 = a_1(1 + r + r^2). Substituting the first term a1=3a_1 = 3 and the sum S3=39S_3 = 39 gives 3(1+r+r2)=393(1 + r + r^2) = 39, which simplifies to r2+r12=0r^2 + r - 12 = 0. Factoring this quadratic equation yields (r3)(r+4)=0(r - 3)(r + 4) = 0. Since the sequence consists of positive terms, the common ratio must be positive, which gives r=3r = 3. The fourth term of the sequence is then calculated using the formula a4=a1r3=333=81a_4 = a_1 r^3 = 3 \cdot 3^3 = 81.

The sum of the slope and the y-intercept of the perpendicular bisector is 1010.
The slope of the segment DEDE is calculated as mDE=483(5)=12m_{DE} = \frac{4 - 8}{3 - (-5)} = -\frac{1}{2}. The perpendicular bisector has a slope mm that is the negative reciprocal of this, which is 22. The line must pass through the midpoint of DEDE, which is located at (5+32,8+42)=(1,6)\left(\frac{-5 + 3}{2}, \frac{8 + 4}{2}\right) = (-1, 6). Substituting m=2m = 2 and the point (1,6)(-1, 6) into the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b yields 6=2(1)+b6 = 2(-1) + b, which simplifies to b=8b = 8.
