Problem:
The standard form of a circle is (x-h)2+(y-k)2=r2 and for the parabola, y-k=a(x-h)2. The (h,k) pair will be the center of the circle and the vertex of the parabola. The radius of the circle is ‘r’ and the focal length of the parabola is f=1/(4a). For the following General Conic Equation: x2+y2-4x-6y-12=0 complete the following problems showing all your work:

A-Complete the square showing all your work to convert to Standard Form:

B-If this is a circle, state the coordinates of the center and give the radius. If this is a parabola, state the coordinates of the vertex and give the focal length. Show all your work.

C -Sketch the Conic. Label the values you found in part B. Be sure to draw or show the radius or focal length.

Answers

we have that
x²+y²-4x-6y-12=0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(x²-4x)+(y²-6y)=12

Complete the square twice. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

(x²-4x+4)+(y²-6y+9)=12+4+9

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x-2)²+(y-3)²=25

the answer part A) is 

(x-2)²+(y-3)²=5²-----> this is the standard form of the equation of a circle

Part B) (x-2)²+(y-3)²=5²

Help with the graph and answer below

Answers

The number of real zeros are equal to the x-intercepts of the graph. x-intercepts are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis.

From the graph we can see that the function does not cross the x-axis at any point. Hence it has no x-intercept and thus no real zero. Both the zeros will be complex. 

So, the correct answer is option B.
Function has exactly 2 complex solutions. 
The graph shows a parabola. A parabola's equation is f(x) = 4a*x^2 + b

This means that 1 value of y  is equal to two values of x

so the answer is D. Function f has two real solutions

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval. f(x) = 6x3 − 9x2 − 108x + 6, [−3, 4]

Answers

It is convenient to use a graphing calculator for this. The graph shows the maximum and minimum are not at the ends of the interval, so could be found by differentiating the function and setting that derivative to zero. The function would then need to be evaluated for those solutions {-2, 3}.

The absolute minimum on the interval is -237 at x=3.
The absolute maximum on the interval is 138 at x=-2.

Answer:

The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is 138 and the absolute minimum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is -237.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the absolute extrema values of [tex]f(x) = 6x^3 - 9x^2 - 108x + 6[/tex]  on the closed interval [−3, 4] you must:

1. Locate all critical values. We need to find the derivative of the function and set it equal to zero.

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}f(x)= \frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^3-9x^2-108x+6\right)=\\\\f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^3\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(9x^2\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(108x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right)\\\\f'(x)=18x^2-18x-108[/tex]

[tex]18x^2-18x-108=0\\18\left(x^2-x-6\right)=0\\18\left(x+2\right)\left(x-3\right)=0\\\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\x=-2,\:x=3[/tex]

2. Evaluate f(x) at all the critical values and also at the two values -3 and 4

[tex]\left\begin{array}{cc}x&f(x)\\-3&87\\-2&138\\3&-237\\4&-186\end{array}\right[/tex]

3. The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-3, 4] will be the largest number found in Step 2, while the absolute minimum of f(x) on [-3, 4] will be the smallest number found in Step 2.

Therefore,

The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is 138 and the absolute minimum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is -237.

The discriminant help us to identify the nature of the roots.

If Disc > 0, the function has two distinct roots
If Disc = 0, the function has repeated roots
If Disc < 0, the function has complex roots

The turning away of the function indicates a repeated root at that point.
Thus, the given quadratic equation has a repeated root at x = 2. So the discriminant of the function is zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B

Find the length of AB , given that DB is a median of the triangle and AC = 24.

Answers

AB=12 because medians bisect the opposing side of a vertex.

Answer:

AB = 12 units                    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

DB is the median of the triangle.

AC = 24 units

Property of median of a triangle:

A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.Thus, a median divides the side of triangle in two equal parts.

Thus, DB divides AC in two equal parts.

Thus, we could say:

AB = BC

We have to find the length of AB.

[tex]\text{AB} = \displaystyle\frac{AC}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12\text{ units}[/tex]

Thus, AB is 12 units.

There are 2,000 eligible voters in a precinct. 548 of the voters are randomly selected and asked whether they planned to vote for the democratic incumbent or the republican challenger. of the 548 surveyed, 474 said they would vote for the democratic incumbent. using the 0.99 confidence coefficient, what are the confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the democratic incumbent?

Answers

Sample size, n = 548
Point estimate, p = 474/548 = 0.865 or 86.5%
Z at 0.99 confidence coefficient = 2.58

Confidence limits = p +/- Z*Sqrt [p(1-p)/n] = 0.865 +/- 2.58 Sqrt [0.865(1-0865)/548] = 0.865 +/- 0.0378 = (0.8272,0.9028) or (82.72%,90.28)

x² + y² = 25
x² + y² - y² = 25 - y²
x² = 25 - y² ..................> I

Answers

False on Apex, I need 20 characters to finish the answer. 


Answer:

The statement is false

B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]f(x)=\log_{0.5}x[/tex]

Increasing function.

Log function:

[tex]y=\log_ax[/tex]

If 0<a<1 then y is decreasing function.

If a>1 then y is increasing function.

Now, we compare the given function

[tex]\log_ax\rightarrow \log_{0.5}x[/tex]

a=0.5

0.5<1

If 0<a<1 then y is decreasing function.

Therefore, f(x) is decreasing. But we are given f(x) is increasing.

Hence, The statement is false

solve the system of equations 5x-2y=88 3x+4y=58 show all work

Answers

The given equations are:

5x - 2y = 88
3x + 4y =  58

Multiplying the 1st equation by 2, we get the new set of equations as:

10x - 4y = 176
3x + 4y = 58

Adding the two equations, we get:

10x - 4y + 3x + 4y = 176 + 58
13x =234
x =  18

Using the value of x in 1st equation, we get:

5(18) - 2y = 88
- 2y = 88 -5(18)
-2y = -2
y = 1

So, the solution of the equation is (18, 1)

Area of cylinder =2πrh

So, Area of label of cylindrical soup can=2πrh

Plugging in the value of r and h in the formula

Area of label=2*π*3.5*6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : [tex]\frac{(x -5)^{2}}{7} - \frac{(y+3)^{2}}{9} = 1.[/tex] is shifted to the right by 4 units and upward by 3 units

To find :  New center of the hyperbola .

Solution : We have given

[tex]\frac{(x -5)^{2}}{7} - \frac{(y+3)^{2}}{9} = 1.[/tex]

Center of hyperbola is  ( 5 , -3)

By the transformation rule f(x) →→ f(x -h) + k it mean f(x) is shifted to right by h unit and k unit up.

Then Center of hyperbola is shifted to the  right by 4 units and upward by 3 units.

( 5 , -3)  →→ (5 + 4 , -3 + 3

( 5 , -3)  →→ ( 9 ,0)

Therefore, new center is  ( 9 ,0).

Find the present value of the annuity.

Amount Per Payment: $6,225

Payment at End of Each: Quarter

Number of Years: 6

Interest Rate: 8%

Compounded: Quarterly

Answers

To solve this we are going to use the present value of annuity formula: [tex]PV=P[ \frac{1-(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{(-kt)} }{ \frac{r}{n} }] [/tex]
where
[tex]PV[/tex] is the present value 
[tex]P[/tex] is the periodic payment
[tex]r[/tex] is the interest rate in decimal form 
[tex]n[/tex] is the number of times the interest is compounded per year 
[tex]k[/tex] is the number of payments per year 
[tex]t[/tex] is the number of years

We know for our problem that [tex]P=6225[/tex] and [tex]t=6[/tex]. To convert the interest rate to decimal form, we are going to divide it by 100%:
[tex]r= \frac{8}{100} [/tex]
[tex]r=0.08[/tex]
Since the interest is compounded quarterly, it is compounded 4 times per year, so [tex]n=4[/tex]. Similarly, since the payment is made at the end of each quarter, it is made 4 times per year; therefore, [tex]k=4[/tex]. 
Lets replace the values in our formula:
[tex]PV=P[ \frac{1-(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{(-kt)} }{ \frac{r}{n} }] [/tex]
[tex]PV=6225[ \frac{1-(1+ \frac{0.08}{4})^{(-(4)(6)} }{ \frac{0.08}{4} }] [/tex]
[tex]PV=117739.19[/tex]

We can conclude that the present value of the annuity is $117,739.19
