Complete the square and write the equation in standard form. Then give the center and radius of each circle and graph the equation. $$x^{2}+y^{2}+8 x-2 y-8=0$$
Explaining the Concepts: Describe a procedure for finding ( \(f \circ g\) ) ( \(x\) ). What is the name of this function?
A telephone company offers the following plans. Also given are the piecewise functions that model these plans. Use this information to solve. Plan \(A\) \(\cdot \$ 30\) per month buys 120 minutes. \(\cdot\) Additional time costs \(\$ 0.30\) per minute. $$C(t)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}30 & \text { if } 0 \leq t \leq 120 \\\30+0.30(t-120) & \text { if } t>120 \end{array}\right. $$ Plan \(B\) \(\cdot \ 40\) per month buys 200 minutes. \(\cdot\) Additional time costs \(\$ 0.30\) per minute. $$ C(t)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll} 40 & \text { if } 0 \leq t \leq 200 \\\ 40+0.30(t-200) & \text { if } t>200 \end{array}\right. $$ Simplify the algebraic expression in the second line of the piecewise function for plan B. Then use point-plotting to graph the function.
I noticed that the difference quotient is always zero if \(f(x)=c,\) where \(c\) is any constant.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. To avoid sign errors when finding \(h\) and \(k,\) I place parentheses around the numbers that follow the subtraction signs in a circle's equation.
