Answer:

You have to use the discriminant b^2 -4ac =0 because lines that cut a circle only once are tangents.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you can use the perpendicular gradient, but it'll be more tedious because then you'll have to prove that the line touching the circle is perpendicular to the line from the centre to the circle to the point of intersection. You'll have to form an equation using the coordinates of the centre of the circle and the point of intersection. You probably had a careless mistake/ calculation error in this process.

Instead, try

1. equating the line to the circle (which you did), then

2. let the coefficient of x^2 be a, the coefficient of x be b, and the constant terms be c.

3. simplify b^2-4ac

3. prove that b^2-4ac=0 because there is only one real and distinct root, hence there is only one point of intersection.

To find the he dividend per share of stock,we can divide the dividends by the total amount of
share:

120000÷40000
=$3

If Tim Worker owns 45 shares of stock, his share of the declared dividends would be:

3×45
=$135

Which of the following inequalities matches the graph?
Alik [6]
A vertical line has an equation of the form x = k, where k is the x-coordinate of all points on the line.
You have a vertical line. It passes through the point (-3, 0), so for this line, k = -3.
The vertical line has equation x = -3.
The line is dashed, not solid, so you have either < or >, but not <= or >=.
Also, notice the shading is to the left of x = -3, so all values of x are less than -3.
The inequality is

x < -3
