A circle in the standard (x,y)(x,y) coordinate plane is defined by the equation (x8)2+(y+5)2=121(x - 8)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 121. What is the diameter of this circle?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 22

Cevap

The diameter of the circle is 22.
By comparing the given equation (x8)2+(y+5)2=121(x - 8)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 121 to the standard circle equation (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, we find that r2=121r^2 = 121. Taking the square root of 121121 gives a radius of r=11r = 11. Since the diameter of a circle is twice the radius, the diameter is 2×11=222 \times 11 = 22.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the relationship between the circle's equation and its radius squared.
r2=121r^2 = 121
The standard equation of a circle is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, meaning the constant on the right side of the equation represents the square of the radius.
2
Determine the radius of the circle.
r=11r = 11
Taking the square root of 121121 yields the radius of the circle, which must be a positive length.
3
Calculate the diameter of the circle.
d=22d = 22
The diameter of a circle is defined as twice the length of its radius (d=2rd = 2r).

In the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane, a line passes through the points (2,5)(2, 5) and (6,k)(6, k). If the yy-intercept of this line is 1-1, what is the value of kk?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 17

Cevap

The value of kk is 17.
The correct answer is 17. The y-intercept of 1-1 gives the point (0,1)(0, -1). The slope between (0,1)(0, -1) and (2,5)(2, 5) is 5(1)20=3\frac{5 - (-1)}{2 - 0} = 3. The equation of the line is y=3x1y = 3x - 1. Substituting the point (6,k)(6, k) into the equation gives k=3(6)1=17k = 3(6) - 1 = 17.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the coordinates of the y-intercept.
The point is (0,1)(0, -1).
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which occurs when the x-coordinate is 0.
2
Calculate the slope (mm) of the line using the points (0,1)(0, -1) and (2,5)(2, 5).
m=3m = 3
Using the slope formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}, we find m=5(1)20=62=3m = \frac{5 - (-1)}{2 - 0} = \frac{6}{2} = 3.
3
Write the equation of the line.
y=3x1y = 3x - 1
Using the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where the slope m=3m = 3 and the y-intercept b=1b = -1.
4
Substitute the point (6,k)(6, k) into the line equation to solve for kk.
k=17k = 17
Since the point (6,k)(6, k) lies on the line, substituting x=6x = 6 and y=ky = k yields k=3(6)1=181=17k = 3(6) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17.

The value of kk is 44.
Applying the exponent rules in sequence: first, rewrite the square root as a fractional exponent to get w0.5w^{0.5}. Next, multiply the terms in the numerator by adding their exponents: 4+0.5=4.54 + 0.5 = 4.5. Then, divide the numerator by the denominator by subtracting the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent: 4.5(1.5)=64.5 - (-1.5) = 6. Finally, raise this result to the 2/32/3 power by multiplying the exponents: 6×(2/3)=46 \times (2/3) = 4. This yields w4w^4, so the constant exponent is 44.

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The value of A+BA + B is 5.
The given line 3x2y=63x - 2y = 6 has a slope of 32\frac{3}{2}. A perpendicular line L1L_1 has a slope of 23-\frac{2}{3}. A line L2L_2 parallel to L1L_1 also has a slope of 23-\frac{2}{3}. The midpoint of the segment with endpoints (1,5)(-1, 5) and (3,1)(3, -1) is calculated as (1+32,512)=(1,2)\left(\frac{-1+3}{2}, \frac{5-1}{2}\right) = (1, 2). Using the point-slope form with the slope 23-\frac{2}{3} and point (1,2)(1, 2) yields y2=23(x1)y - 2 = -\frac{2}{3}(x - 1), which simplifies to 2x+3y=82x + 3y = 8. Thus, A=2A = 2, B=3B = 3, and A+B=5A + B = 5.

If the circle and the line intersect at two points, (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2), what is the value of x1+x2+y1+y2x_1 + x_2 + y_1 + y_2?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The value of x1+x2+y1+y2x_1 + x_2 + y_1 + y_2 is 4.
Substituting the equation of the line into the circle's equation gives (x2)2+(2x4)2=20(x-2)^2 + (2x-4)^2 = 20. Since (2x4)=2(x2)(2x-4) = 2(x-2), we can write this as (x2)2+4(x2)2=20(x-2)^2 + 4(x-2)^2 = 20, which simplifies to 5(x2)2=205(x-2)^2 = 20, and further to (x2)2=4(x-2)^2 = 4. Solving for xx yields x2=2x - 2 = 2 or x2=2x - 2 = -2, so x=4x = 4 or x=0x = 0. Substituting these values into the linear equation gives the points (4,4)(4, 4) and (0,4)(0, -4). The sum of all coordinates is 4+0+4+(4)=44 + 0 + 4 + (-4) = 4.

A food truck selling gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches has a daily fixed operating cost of 120120. Each sandwich costs 2.502.50 to make and is sold for 6.506.50. What is the minimum number of sandwiches the food truck must sell in one day to make a net profit of at least 180180?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 75

Cevap

The food truck must sell a minimum of 75 sandwiches to make a net profit of at least $180.
Representing the number of sandwiches sold as xx, the total revenue is 6.50x6.50x and the total cost is 120+2.50x120 + 2.50x. The net profit is the difference between revenue and cost: 6.50x(120+2.50x)6.50x - (120 + 2.50x), which simplifies to 4x1204x - 120. Setting up the inequality for a profit of at least 180180 gives 4x1201804x - 120 \geq 180. Solving for xx gives 4x3004x \geq 300, which simplifies to x75x \geq 75. Therefore, the minimum number of sandwiches that must be sold is 7575.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define the variable and write expressions for revenue and cost.
Let xx represent the number of sandwiches sold. Total Revenue = 6.50x6.50x and Total Cost = 120+2.50x120 + 2.50x.
Defining the variable and translating the verbal descriptions of revenue and cost into algebraic expressions is necessary to model the profit.
2
Formulate the net profit expression.
Net Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost = 6.50x(120+2.50x)=4x1206.50x - (120 + 2.50x) = 4x - 120.
Net profit is calculated by subtracting all fixed and variable costs from the total revenue.
3
Set up and solve the linear inequality.
4x1201804x300x754x - 120 \geq 180 \Rightarrow 4x \geq 300 \Rightarrow x \geq 75.
To find the minimum number of sandwiches needed to reach a target profit of at least 180180, we solve the inequality 4x1201804x - 120 \geq 180 for xx.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The radius of the circle is 5.
The radius of a circle is defined as the distance from its center to any point on the boundary. Using the distance formula between the center (3,2)(3, -2) and the point (7,1)(7, 1) yields r=(73)2+(1(2))2=42+32=25=5r = \sqrt{(7 - 3)^2 + (1 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5.

1
Identify the formula to find the distance between two points, which represents the radius of the circle.
The distance formula is d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}.
The radius of a circle is the distance from its center to any point on its circumference.
2
Substitute the coordinates of the center (3,2)(3, -2) and the point (7,1)(7, 1) into the formula.
r=(73)2+(1(2))2r = \sqrt{(7 - 3)^2 + (1 - (-2))^2}
We substitute x1=3,y1=2x_1 = 3, y_1 = -2 and x2=7,y2=1x_2 = 7, y_2 = 1 into the distance formula.
3
Simplify the expression to determine the radius.
r=42+32=16+9=25=5r = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5

The correct answer is 3535. By first finding that BAC=60\angle BAC = 60^\circ, we use the angle bisector ADAD to find CAD=30\angle CAD = 30^\circ. In ADC\triangle ADC, we find the interior angle ADC=110\angle ADC = 110^\circ. In the isosceles triangle ADE\triangle ADE with AD=AEAD=AE, the base angles are ADE=AED=75\angle ADE = \angle AED = 75^\circ. Finally, subtracting ADE\angle ADE from ADC\angle ADC gives CDE=35\angle CDE = 35^\circ.

1
Find the measure of the third angle of the main triangle, BAC\angle BAC.
BAC=60\angle BAC = 60^\circ
The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180180^\circ. Therefore, BAC=180BC=1808040=60\angle BAC = 180^\circ - \angle B - \angle C = 180^\circ - 80^\circ - 40^\circ = 60^\circ.
2
Determine the measure of the bisected angle CAD\angle CAD.
CAD=30\angle CAD = 30^\circ
Since ADAD bisects BAC\angle BAC, it divides the angle into two equal parts: BAD=CAD=602=30\angle BAD = \angle CAD = \frac{60^\circ}{2} = 30^\circ.
3
Calculate the interior angle ADC\angle ADC in ADC\triangle ADC.
ADC=110\angle ADC = 110^\circ
In ADC\triangle ADC, the sum of angles is 180180^\circ. Therefore, ADC=180CADC=1803040=110\angle ADC = 180^\circ - \angle CAD - \angle C = 180^\circ - 30^\circ - 40^\circ = 110^\circ.
4
Find the base angles of the isosceles triangle ADEADE.
ADE=75\angle ADE = 75^\circ
Since AD=AEAD = AE, ADE\triangle ADE is an isosceles triangle with vertex angle DAE=30\angle DAE = 30^\circ. The two base angles, ADE\angle ADE and AED\angle AED, are equal. Thus, ADE=180302=75\angle ADE = \frac{180^\circ - 30^\circ}{2} = 75^\circ.
5
Determine the final angle CDE\angle CDE by subtraction.
CDE=35\angle CDE = 35^\circ
Since point EE lies on side ACAC, ray DEDE lies between rays DADA and DCDC. Therefore, ADC=ADE+CDE\angle ADC = \angle ADE + \angle CDE. Rearranging gives CDE=ADCADE=11075=35\angle CDE = \angle ADC - \angle ADE = 110^\circ - 75^\circ = 35^\circ.

In DEC\triangle DEC, the sum of angles is 180180^\circ, so CDE=18010540=35\angle CDE = 180^\circ - 105^\circ - 40^\circ = 35^\circ.

In the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane, a line LL passes through the points (a,a2)(a, a^2) and (b,b2)(b, b^2), where aa and bb are distinct real numbers. The slope of line LL is 88.

Cevap: 19

Cevap

The yy-coordinate of the midpoint is 1919.
Applying the slope formula to the points (a,a2)(a, a^2) and (b,b2)(b, b^2) yields \frac{b^2-a^2}{b-a} = a+b = 8. The xx-coordinate of the midpoint is \frac{a+b}{2} = 4. Substituting this value into the equation y=5x1y = 5x - 1 gives y=5(4)1=19y = 5(4) - 1 = 19.

1
Express the slope of line LL in terms of aa and bb and set it equal to the given slope.
a+b=8a + b = 8
The slope formula is m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}. For the points (a,a2)(a, a^2) and (b,b2)(b, b^2), the slope is \frac{b^2 - a^2}{b - a}. Factoring the numerator gives \frac{(b-a)(b+a)}{b-a} = a + b. Since the slope is given as 88, we establish a+b=8a + b = 8.
2
Find the xx-coordinate of the midpoint of the segment connecting the two points.
xM=4x_M = 4
The midpoint formula for the xx-coordinate is xM=x1+x22x_M = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}. For our points, xM=a+b2x_M = \frac{a+b}{2}. Substituting the value a+b=8a+b = 8 gives xM=82=4x_M = \frac{8}{2} = 4.
3
Determine the yy-coordinate of the midpoint using the line equation.
yM=19y_M = 19
The midpoint lies on the line y=5x1y = 5x - 1. Substituting xM=4x_M = 4 into this equation gives yM=5(4)1=19y_M = 5(4) - 1 = 19.

The radius of the circle is 9.
The standard equation of a circle in the coordinate plane is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where rr is the radius. For the equation (x9)2+(y+4)2=81(x - 9)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 81, the right-hand side represents r2r^2, so r2=81r^2 = 81. Taking the positive square root of both sides gives r=81=9r = \sqrt{81} = 9.

1
Identify the standard form of the circle equation.
The standard equation of a circle is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k)(h, k) is the center and rr is the radius.
This allows us to relate the terms of the given equation to the components of the circle.
2
Match the given equation to the standard form.

The constant on the right side of the standard equation represents the square of the radius.

The xx-coordinate of the vertex diagonally opposite to AA is 88.
The vector from A(1,4)A(1,4) to B(4,8)B(4,8) is AB=(3,4)\vec{AB} = (3,4) with length 55. Since the adjacent sides of a square must be perpendicular and equal in length, the vector translation must be either (4,3)(4, -3) or (4,3)(-4, 3). Applying the translation (4,3)(4, -3) to BB and AA gives C(8,5)C(8, 5) and D(5,1)D(5, 1), both of which lie strictly in the first quadrant. The diagonally opposite vertex to AA is CC, and its xx-coordinate is 88.
