Prove that the perpendicular at the point of contact to the tangent to a circle passes through the centre.

Mathematics

At the point of contact, the radius of the circle is also perpendicular to the tangent. This makes the radius and the perpendicular at the  least parallel. The fact that they both intersect at the point of contact makes them coincident. Since they are coincident and the radius originated at the center, the perpendicular must also go through the center.

Hope I helped. :)

Y&lt;-x+4 <br> y&gt;-x-2<br><br> How many solutions does this system of inequalities have?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

An infinite number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts, so they are parallel. The shading is in between the lines. The entire shaded area is solutions to the system of inequalities. The number of solutions is infinite.

9r-6-LLFE4r + 19D8r+3What is the value of r?What is the length of segment EF?✓units
Amanda [17]

Let's equate the congruent sides.

\begin{gathered} 9r-6=8r+3 \\ r=9 \end{gathered}

Now, the segment EF is equal to the segment CD:

4r+19=4\cdot9+19=55

Choose a system of equations with the same solution as the following system:
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 6x+2y =-6 ......(1) and 3x-4y=-18 .....(2)

Solving equations (1) and (2) we get

12x+3x =-30, ⇒x= -2 and from equation (1), 2y= -6-6(-2) =6, ⇒ y=3

Therefore, the solution for the given set of equations is x= -2 and y=3

A) Solving the equations 8x+4y = -4 ....... (3)and 17x+2y =-28, we get  

8x -34x = -4 -(-56) =52, ⇒-26x =52, ⇒x=-2 and from equation )(3), we get -16+4y =-4, ⇒ y=3

Therefore, the solution x=-2 and y =3 match with the original solution.

B)Solving the equations 12x + 4y = 12 ....... (4)and 21x + 2y = −36, we get  

12x -42x = 12 -(-72) =84, ⇒-30x =84, ⇒x=-84/30.

Therefore, the solution x=-84/30 does not match with the original solution.

C) Solving the equations 6x + 8y = −36 ....... (4) and 15x + 6y = −60, we get 18x -60x = -108 -(-240) =132, ⇒-42x =132, ⇒x=-132/42

Therefore, the solution x=--3  do not match with the original solution.

D) Solving the equations 6x + y = 15 ....... (5) and 15x − y = −9, we get 6x +15x = 6, ⇒21x =6, ⇒x=2/7  

Therefore, the solution x=2/7  do not match with the original solution.

Therefore, option A) will have the same solution. (Answer)
