Use a graphing utility to graph each circle whose equation is given. $$ x^{2}+10 x+y^{2}-4 y-20=0 $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
Center of the circle is (-5, 2) and radius is 7 units. Plot these on a graph for the solution.

Step by step solution

01

Rewrite Equation in Standard Form

The standard form of the equation of a circle is \( (x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2} = r^{2} \), where \( (h,k) \) are the coordinates of the center of the circle and \( r \) is the radius. Let's start by rewriting the given equation, \( x^{2} + 10x + y^{2} - 4y - 20 = 0 \), by completing the square for both x and y terms.
02

Complete the Square and Find the Center

We complete the square by adding and subtracting the square of half the coefficient of x inside the brackets. Likewise, we do the same for the y terms. The equation becomes \( (x + 5)^{2} -25 + (y - 2)^{2} -4 - 20 = 0 \). Simplifying further we get \( (x + 5)^{2} + (y - 2)^{2} = 49 \), which is now in standard form. Hence, we get the center of the circle as (-5, 2).
03

Identify the Radius

Remembering that the standard form is \( (x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2} = r^{2} \), it can be seen that \( r^{2} = 49 \). Hence, the radius \( r = \sqrt{49} = 7 \). This gives us all the information we need to graph this circle.
04

Graph the Circle Using the Center and Radius

With a graphing utility, draw a circle with center (-5, 2) and a radius of 7 units. The x and y values will range from -12 to 2 and -5 to 9 respectively to fully capture the circle in the graph.

Excited about the success of celebrity stamps, post office officials were rumored to have put forth a plan to institute two new types of thermometers. On these new scales, \(^{\circ} E\) represents degrees Elvis and \(^{\circ} \mathrm{M}\) represents degrees Madonna. If it is known that\(40^{\circ} E=25^{\circ} \mathrm{M}, 280^{\circ} \mathrm{E}=125^{\circ} \mathrm{M},\) and degrees Elvis is linearly related to degrees Madonna, write an equation expressing \(E\) in terms of \(M .\)

Begin by graphing the standard quadratic function, \(f(x)=x^{2} .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ h(x)=(x-1)^{2}+2 $$

The graph shows the amount of money, in billions of dollars, of new student loans from 1993 through 2000 . (graph can't copy) The data shown can be modeled by the function \(f(x)=6.75 \sqrt{x}+12,\) where \(f(x)\) is the amount, in billion of dollars, of new student loans \(x\) years after 1993 . a. Describe how the graph of \(f\) can be obtained using transformations of the square root function \(f(x)=\sqrt{x} .\) Then sketch the graph of \(f\) over the interval \(0 \leq x \leq 9 .\) If applicable, use a graphing utility to verify your hand-drawn graph. b. According to the model, how much was loaned in \(2000 ?\) Round to the nearest tenth of a billion. How well does the model describe the actual data? c. Use the model to find the average rate of change, in billions of dollars per year, between 1993 and 1995 Round to the nearest tenth. d. Use the model to find the average rate of change, in billions of dollars per year, between 1998 and 2000 . Round to the nearest tenth. How does this compare with you answer in part (c)? How is this difference shown by your graph? e. Rewrite the function so that it represents the amount, \(f(x),\) in billions of dollars, of new student loans \(x\) years after 1995
