In this problem, there are two congruent right triangles: triangle XCA and triangle XBC, where the hypotenuse are XA and XB respectively. Considering triangle XBC, XB = radius = 17, and BC = 30 / 2 = 15. By pythagorean theorem, XC = sqrt(17^2 - 15^2) = sqrt(289 - 225) = sqrt(64) = 8 units.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Find the solutions to the system of equations. Select all that apply. Y=x^2-1 y=2x-2
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Option C (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a system with the following equations:

y = x ^ 2-1\\\\y = 2x-2

The first equation is a parabola.

The second equation is a straight line

To solve the system, substitute the second equation in the first and solve for x.

2x-2 = x ^ 2 -1

Simplify

x ^ 2-2x + 1 = 0

You must search for two numbers that when you add them, obtain as a result -2 and multiplying both results in 1.

These numbers are -1 and -1

Therefore

x ^ 2-2x + 1= (x-1)(x-1)\\\\x ^ 2-2x + 1= (x-1)^2=0

Finally the solutions are

x = 1\\y =0

Answer:

The range of the given data set is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Range of the data set provides us with some basic information regarding spread of the data.

It is commonly used and quite easy to find.

First step is to arrange the values from the lowest to the highest.

It is already given arranged, so that will savd us some time.

Next step is simply subtracting the two values on the extremes, or, simply put, subtract the lowest from the highest value.

So, the range in this case would be 7-1=6.
