Answer:

6√3 ± 3

Step-by-step explanation:

AC is the radius of Circle C ⇒ radius = 12

DB is the radius of Circle D ⇒ radius = 9

Therefore, CD = AC + DB = 12 + 9 = 21

AE is the radius of Circle E ⇒ radius = 3

BF is the radius of Circle F ⇒ radius = 3

If AB is the common tangent of Circles C, D, E and F, then:

∠CAB =∠AEF = ∠DBA = ∠BFE = 90°

(as the tangent to a circle is always <u>perpendicular</u> its the radius).

Also AB = EF

To find the possible radii of a circle whose center is the midpoint of EF and is tangent to both circles E and F, we first need to find the length of EF (marked by x on the attached diagram).

CD is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with base equal to EF and a smaller leg of the difference between the radii of Circles C and D.

(Refer to the green shaded triangle on attachment 1)

Therefore, to find EF (x), use Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c²
(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)

⇒ a² + b² = c²

⇒ 3² + x² = CD²

⇒ 3² + x² = (12 + 9)²

⇒ 9 + x² = 441

⇒ x² = 432

⇒ x = √432

⇒ x = 12√3

⇒ EF = 12√3

As the radius of Circles E and F is 3, the possible diameter of the circle with its center as the midpoint of EF is 6 less or 6 more than the length of EF.

⇒ diameter = EF ± 6

                   = 12√3 ± 6

As the radius is <u>half of the diameter</u>, the possible radii of a circle whose center is the midpoint of EF and is tangent to both circles E and F is:

⇒ radius = diameter ÷ 2

               = (12√3 ± 6) ÷ 2

               = 6√3 ± 3

(see attachments 2 and 3 → the possible circles are shown in orange)

Answer:

  6√3 ±3 ≈ {7.392, 13.392}

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of AB is the long side of a right triangle with hypotenuse CD and short side (AC -BD). The desired radius values will be half the length of EF, with AE added or subtracted.

__

<h3>length of AB</h3>

Radii AC and BD are perpendicular to the points of tangency at A and B. They differ in length by AC -BD = 12 -9 = 3 units.

A right triangle can be drawn as in the attached figure, where it is shaded and labeled with vertices A, B, C. Its long leg (AB in the attachment) is the long leg of the right triangle with hypotenuse 21 and short leg 3. The length of that leg is found from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...

  AB = √(21² -3²) = √432 = 12√3

<h3>tangent circle radii</h3>

This is the same as the distance EF. Half this length, 6√3, is the distance from the midpoint of EF to E or F. The radii of the tangent circles to circles E and F will be (EF/2 ±3). Those values are ...

  6√3 ±3 ≈ {7.392, 13.392}

How do you illustrate<br>quadratic equation<br>in one variable?​
soldi70 [24.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Equation

Quadratic equation is in the form

ax2+bx+c=0

Where

a, b, & c = real-number constants

a & b = numerical coefficient or simply coefficients

a = coefficient of x2

b = coefficient of x

c = constant term or simply constant

a cannot be equal to zero while either b or c can be zero

Examples of Quadratic Equation

Some quadratic equation may not look like the one above. The general appearance of quadratic equation is a second degree curve so that the degree power of one variable is twice of another variable. Below are examples of equations that can be considered as quadratic.

1. 3x2+2x−8=0

2. x2−9=0

3. 2x2+5x=0

4. sin2θ−2sinθ−1=0

5. x−5x−−√+6=0

6. 10x1/3+x1/6−2=0

7. 2lnx−−−√−5lnx−−−√4−7=0

For us to see that the above examples can be treated as quadratic equation, we take example no. 6 above, 10x1/3 + x1/6 - 2 = 0. Let x1/6 = z, thus, x1/3 = z2. The equation can now be written in the form 10z2 + z - 2 = 0, which shows clearly to be quadratic equation.

Roots of a Quadratic Equation

The equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 can be factored into the form

(x−x1)(x−x2)=0

Where x1 and x2 are the roots of ax2 + bx + c = 0.

Quadratic Formula

For the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0,

x=−b±b2−4ac−−−−−−−√2a

See the derivation of quadratic formula here.

The quantity b2 - 4ac inside the radical is called discriminat.

• If b2 - 4ac = 0, the roots are real and equal.

• If b2 - 4ac > 0, the roots are real and unequal.

• If b2 - 4ac < 0, the roots are imaginary.

Sum and Product of Roots

If the roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c

= 0 are x1 and x2, then

Sum of roots

x1+x2=−ba

Product of roots

x1x2=ca

You may see the derivation of formulas for sum and product of roots here.

PLEASE HELP ASAP 9TH GRADE MATH AND I NEED HELP, 15 POINTS AND BRAINLIST HELPPPP
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

x = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∠SRT ≅ ∠STR

Then ∠STR = 20

∠STR  and ∠STU are what you call supplementary angles. This means that the sum of their measurements is equal to 180° because they form a straight line.

So if:

∠STR + ∠STU = 180°

m∠STU = 4x

m∠STR = 20

Then:

4x + 20° = 180°

Now we solve for x:

4x + 20 = 180\\\\Subtract\;20\;from\;both\;sides\;of\;the\;equation\\\\4x + 20 - 20 = 180 - 20\\4x = 160\\\\Divide\;both\;sides\;of\;the\;equation\;by\;4\\\\\dfrac{4x}{4}=\dfrac{160}{4}\\\\x = 40

x = 40°
