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.

How many extraneous solutions does the equation below have?
FrozenT [24]

<u>Answer</u>

0


<u>Explanation</u>

(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3)=1

Simplifying the left hand first

(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3) = {2m(2m-3) - 2m(2m+3)}/(4m²-9)

                                        (4m²-6m-4m²-6m)/(4m²-9)

                                         = (-12m) / (4m²-9)

Now this equet to 1

(-12m) / (4m²-9) = 1

-12m =  4m²-9

4m²+ 12m -9 =0 ⇒⇒⇒ This is a quadratic equation that has 2 real solutions.

4m²+ 12m -9 =0

m² + 3m + (3/2)²= 9/4 + 9/4

(m + 3/2)² = 18/4

m = √18/2 - 3/2                or m = -√18/2 - 3/2

    = 0.621                                       = -3.621

So we can say that the equation has NO extraneous solutions.

Answer = 0

A 5-gallon jug of cleaning solution contains 6% bleach. How much pure water should be added to it to dilute to 4% bleach?
mihalych1998 [28]
Let's bear in mind that 5 gallons with a solution of 6% bleach, contains some water plus some bleach, how much bleach?  well, is just 6% of 5 gallons or namely (6/100) * 5 gallons, or 0.30 gallons.

if we use "x" gallons of water, well pure water has no bleach, so is 0% bleach, and it has a (0/100) * x or 0x gallons of bleach.

the mixture will be say "y" gallons, and is 4% bleach, so (4/100) * y is 0.04y gallons in the mixture of bleach.

\bf \begin{array}{lcccl}&#10;&\stackrel{gallons}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of bleach}}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{gallons of bleach}}{amount}\\&#10;&------&------&------\\&#10;\textit{pure water}&x&0.00&0x\\&#10;\textit{6\% solution}&5&0.06&0.3\\&#10;-----&------&------&------\\&#10;mixture&y&0.04&0.04y&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;x+5=\boxed{y}\\&#10;0x+0.3=0.04y\\&#10;---------\\&#10;0.3=0.04\left( \boxed{x+5} \right)&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;0.3=0.04x+0.2\implies 0.1=0.04x\implies \cfrac{0.1}{0.04}=x\implies 2.5=x
