We know that

y=(2/3)x
in the tangent at the circle at the point G
x+y=45 in-------> x+(2/3)x=45-------> (5/3)x=45------> x=45*3/5----> x=27 in
y=45-x-----> y=45-27------> y=18 in

in the tangent at the circle at the point B
z+y=39
z=39-y-------> z=39-18-----> z=21 in

in the tangent at the circle at the point F
z+x=48
so
21+27=48
so
48=48------> is ok

the answer is
x=27 in
y=18 in
z=21 in

If the ratio of the measure of the complement of an angle to the measure of its supplement is 1:3, find the measure of the angle
prohojiy [21]
Set up and solve an equation:

3(90-x) = (180-x).  Then  270 - 3x = 180 - x, or   270 - 180 = 2x.
                                                                               90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.

Is this true?     3(90-45) = (180-45)?  If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.

a geometric series where the first term is -12, the last term is -972, and each term after the first is triple the previous term
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

the geometric series is a(n) = -12(3)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

"Triple" denotes multiplication by 3.  Thus, the common factor here is 3.

The general formula for a geometric series is a(n) = a(1)(r)^(n-1), where a(1) is the first term, r is the common ratio.

Here, we have a(n)= (-12)(3)^(n-1) = -972.

We need to solve this for n, which represents the last term.

The first step towards solving for n is to divide both sides by -12:

3^(n-1) = 81

To solve for n-1, rewrite 81 as 3^4.  Then we have:

3^(n-1) = 3^4, implying that (n-1) = 4 and that n = 5.

Then we know that it is the 5th term that equals -972.

In summary, the geometric series is a(n) = -12(3)^(n-1).

A university has 27,900 students. In a random sample of 210 students, 14 speak 3 or more languages. Predict the number of studen
I am Lyosha [343]
First set up a proportion.
14/210 = x/27900
then divide 27900 by 210 which equals about 133
then multiply 14 by 133 which is 1862
your answer is 1862

What is the y-intercept of the graph of 4y = 2x + 8?<br> 4<br> 2<br> 6<br> 00<br> N
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

4y = 2x + 8

First get the equation in slope intercept form  y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Divide each side by 4

4y/4 = 2x/4 +8/4

y = 1/2x +2

The slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is 2
