Answer:

h=6

Step-by-step explanation:

since y =hx -2 is an equation for a line which intersects with the curve 3y^2 = 9x^2 - 6x +1. The point of intersection, let's say (x_1,y_1), should satisfy the two equations. As a result, the value of y in the second equation can be replaced with the value of y in the first equation as the following,

3y^2 = 3(hx-2)^2 = 9x^2 - 6x +1\\3(h^2x^2 -4hx + 4) = 9x^2 - 6x + 1\\3h^2 x^2 -12hx +12 = 9x^2 - 6x +1

therefore, the latter equation can be rewritten in a quadratic equation form as the following,

(9 - 3h^2) x^2 + (12h-6)x + (1-12) = (9 - 3h^2) x^2 + (12h-6)x -11 = 0

if the line is tangent to the curve, it means that the line touches the curve at one point, therefore the discernment of the second order equation will be equal to zero for the famous quadratic equation solution.

b^2 -4ac =0

where a=9-3h^2, b=12h-6 and c=-11, as a result, the following equations can be deduced,

(12h-6)^2 - 4*(9-3h^2)*(-11) = (144h^2 -144h +36) - (36 -12h^2)*(-11)=\\(144-(-12)*(-11)h^2 )  -144h +36 -(36*(-11)) =\\12 h^2 -144h +432 =0

therefore, dividing both sides by 12

h^2 -12 +36 =0\\(h-6)^2 =0\\h=6

if a store uses a selling price based markup of 40% and an item cost the store $300 what selling price would the store set for t
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The selling price would be $420.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the mark up, we need to multiply the amount it originally costs by the percentage it is being marked up.

$300 * 40% = $120

Now that we have the mark up amount, we add it to the original cost to get the sale price.

$300 + $120 = $420

The grid below shows figure Q and its image figure Q' after a transformation:
Masteriza [31]
<h3>Answer: choice B) counterclockwise rotation of 90 degrees around the origin</h3>

To go from figure Q to figure Q', we rotate one of two ways

* 270 degrees clockwise

* 90 degrees counterclockwise

Since "270 clockwise" isn't listed, this means "90 counterclockwise" is the only possibility.
