Given that QO is the radius and PQ is tangent to circle O, then ΔPQO is a right triangle. Hence the value of x will be obtained as follows:
Sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°. Thus
x+17+90=180
x+107=180
thus
x=180-107
x=73°

Answer: x=73°

Determine if the table shows a linear or an exponential function

____ [38]

Answer:

The table shows an exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear vs Exponential Functions

A linear function is written as:

$y=mx+b$

where m and b are constants.

If a table contains a linear function, then for each pair of ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of m must be constant.

The slope can be calculated as:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

An exponential function is written as:

$y=y_o.r^x$

Where r is the ratio and yo is a constant.

If a table contains an exponential function, for two ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of r must be constant.

The ratio can be calculated as:

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[x2-x1]{\frac{y2}{y1}}$

Calculate the slope for (0,4) and (1,2):

$\displaystyle m=\frac{2-4}{1-0}=-2$

Calculate the slope for (1,2) and (2,1):

$\displaystyle m=\frac{1-2}{2-1}=-1$

Since the slope is not the same, the function is not linear.

Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (1,2)

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[1-0]{\frac{1}{2}}$

The radical of index 1 is simply equal to its argument:

$\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{2}$

Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (2,1)

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[2-0]{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{2}$

Testing other points we'll find the same ratio, thus the table is an exponential function

Dustin has only nickels and quarters in his piggy bank. He has 49 coins total for a combined value of $8.85. How many of each ty

eduard

Well obviously quarters equal 25 cents. So you have to divide the 8.85 by 25 first. That means he could have 35 quarters. That least the rest as being dimes. So find the remaining amount of the 8.85. If you have 35 quarters that's $8.75. And 8.85 minus 8.75 is 10 cents. which would be 2 nickels. That only adds up 37 coins. So you break down one of the 25. That would mean 5 more coins could be nickels. Add 37 and 5 to get 42. Do it again. 25 cents in nickels would be 5 more coins. would be 46. that would be missing 2 coins. But don't forget you're also subtracting from the 35 quarters. Now you would technically have 12 nickels and 33 quarters. So you can do it one more time. 32 quarters means there is $8 in quarters at this point.

Now add you have 12 nickels, and you made 5 more. That's 17 nickels. That equals 85 cents. So add 17 and 32 to be sure you have 49 coins, which you do.

So 17 nickels, 32 quarters to equal 49 coins and $8.85

(sorry some of it got mixed up above because I was forgetting to subtract the quarters from the total as I changed them to nickels, so pay attention to the end)

The equation y=x^2-12x+45 models the number of books y sold in a bookstore x days after an award-winning author appeared at an a

romanna [79]

Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.

To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.

You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45

Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.

Gekata [30.6K]

Complete Question

In triangle ABC: AC=10 , AB=5., Angle C = 30 degrees.

In Triangle DEF: ED= 7.5 , DF=15, Angle F =30 degrees , Angle E = 90 degrees.

Answer:

A, D and E

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is drawn and attached below.

Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle DEF. (Option E)

Writing it backwards:

Triangle CBA is similar to Triangle FED. (Option A)

Also,

Triangle BAC is similar to EDF. (Option D).

Therefore, A, D and E are the similarity statements that describe the relationship between the two triangles.
