The equation of the circle is given as (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r². Then the value of y will be ± √5/3.

<h3>What is an equation of a circle?</h3>

A circle can be characterized by its center's location and its radius's length.

Let the center of the considered circle be at (h, k) coordinate.

Let the radius of the circle be 'r' units.

Then, the equation of that circle would be:

(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²

The equation of the circle has the center at the origin and the radius is one unit. Then we have

x² + y² = 1

The point P = (-2/3, y) lies on the unit circle. Then the value of y will be

(-2/3)² + y² = 1

y² = 1 - 4/9

y² = 5/9

y = ± √5 / 9

This figure shows △XYZ . MZ¯¯¯¯¯¯ is the angle bisector of ∠YZX . What is XM ? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. unit

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Length of XM is 5.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given △XYZ where MZ is the angle bisector of ∠YZX . we have to find the length of XM.

A triangle with vertices X, Y, and Z. Side XZ is base. A line segment drawn from Z to M bisects ∠YZX into two parts ∠YZM and ∠XZM.

YZ=7 units, XZ=11 units and YM=3.5 units

By angle bisector theorem which states that an angle bisector of an angle divides the opposite side in two segments that are proportional to the another two sides of the triangle.

Hence, $\frac{YM}{MX}=\frac{YZ}{XZ}$

⇒ $\frac{3.5}{MX}=\frac{7}{11}$

⇒ MX=5.5 units.

Hence, length of XM is 5.5 units.

If a plane can climb at 2,400 feet per minute, how many minutes are needed to climb to 60,000 feet?

cestrela7 [59]

Hi there --

If a plane can climb 2,400 feet per minute, it will need 25 minutes to reach 60,000 feet. // By dividing 60,000 (the needed feet) by 2,400 (the amount of feet the plane can climb per/min) you get 25 (the amount of mins needed to climb 60,000 feet)

Hope this helps! Have a great day! :)

Answer:

Answer choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

When you factor the equation, 12 only has 6x2 to equal the -12x. This means that you'll factor it into (3x-6)(x-2). When you set either of these equal to 0, the x value is 2.
