Answer:

AB = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent and secant are drawn from an external point to the circle.

Then the square of the measure of the tangent is equal to the product of the external part of the secant and the entire secant.

let AB = x, then

x(x + 5) = 6²

x² + 5x = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² + 5x - 36 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 9)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = - 9

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 4 ⇒ b = 4 CM

Ava graphs the function h(x) = x2 + 4. Victor graphs the function g(x) = (x + 4)2. Which statements are true regarding the two g

Firlakuza [10]

Answers:

Ava’s graph is a vertical translation of f(x) = x^2.

Ava’s graph moved 4 units from f(x) = x^2 in a positive direction.

Ava’s graph has a y-intercept of 4.

Given:

Ava graphs the function $h(x) = x^2 + 4$ .

Victor graphs the function $g(x) = (x + 4)^2$

To find y intercept we plug in 0 for x

$h(x) = x^2 + 4$

$h(x) = 0 + 4$ = 4

So ,Ava’s graph has a y-intercept of 4.

Ava graphs the function $h(x) = x^2 + 4$

If any number is added at the end then the graph will be shifted up. 4 is added at the end so there will be vertical translation.

Hence , Ava’s graph is a vertical translation of f(x) = x^2. Also Ava moved 4 units up from f(x) = x^2 in a positive y- direction.

Victor graphs the function $g(x) = (x + 4)^2$

If any number added with x then the graph will be shifted left. the graph will be shifted in negative x direction.

RESOLVER LOS SIGUIENTES SISTEMAS DE ECUACIONES APLICANDO EL METODO DE SUSTITUCION

kiruha [24]

Answer:

x = 1/2; y = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 2 Eq. 1

-6x + 12y = 1 Eq. 2

Eq. 1

2x + 3y = 2

2x = -3y + 2

x = -3/2 y + 1

Eq. 2

-6x + 12y = 1

De Eq. 1 sabemos que x = -3/2 y + 1

-6x + 12y = 1

-6(-3/2 y + 1) + 12y = 1

9y - 6 + 12y = 1

21y - 6 = 1

21y = 7

y = 7/21

y = 1/3

Eq. 1

2x + 3y = 2

2x + 3(1/3) = 2

2x + 1 = 2

2x = 1

x = 1/2

Respuesta: x = 1/2; y = 1/3

1. What is an equation of the line through (3, 12) with slope = 3?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use point slope form

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and ( x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-12 = 3(x-12)

If we want it in slope intercept form

Distribute

y-12 = 3x-36

Add 12 to each side

y-12+12 = 3x-36+12

y = 3x-24
