Line AC is tangent to circle O at point C What is the measure of OAC?

Nuetrik [128]3 years ago

AC is a tangent so by definition, it touches the circle at exactly one point (point C) and forms a right angle at the tangency point. So angle ACO is 90 degrees

The remaining angle OAC must be 45 degrees because we need to have all three angles add to 180
45+45+90 = 90+90 = 180

Alternatively you can solve algebraically like so
(angle OAC) + (angle OCA) + (angle COA) = 180
(angle OAC) + (90 degrees) + (45 degrees) = 180
(angle OAC) + 90+45 = 180
(angle OAC) + 135 = 180
(angle OAC) + 135 - 135 = 180 - 135
angle OAC = 45 degrees

Side Note: Triangle OCA is an isosceles right triangle. It is of the template 45-45-90.

Find f(3) if<br> f(x)=x^3 + 2x^2-x-1
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

\underline{ \boxed{f(3) = 41}}

Step-by-step explanation:

if \to \: f(x)=x^3 + 2x^2-x-1 \\ then \: f(3) =  {3}^{3}  + 2( {3)}^{2}  - 3 - 1 \\ f(3) = 27 + 18 - 4 \\ f(3) = 41

Write the standard form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope. Through (-2,5), slope =-4
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{4x+y=-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

<em>(x₁, y₁)</em><em> - point on a line</em>

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em />

We have

m=-4,\ (-2,\ 5)\to x_1=-2,\ y_1=5

Substitute:

y-5=-4(x-(-2))\\\\y-5=-4(x+2)

Convert to the standard form

Ax+By=C

y-5=-4(x+2)                <em> use the distributive property</em>

y-5=(-4)(x)+(-4)(2)

y-5=-4x-8               <em>add 5 to both sides</em>

y-5+5=-4x-8+5

y=-4x-3               <em>add 4x to both sides</em>

4x+y=-4x+4x-3\\\\4x+y=-3
