From the equation, you can see that (3,-2) is the center of the circle (the terms are 0 for those x,y values). The mentioned point has the same y value as the center. That's good news, because it tells us that the tangent line is exactly vertical. The x coordinate is given as x=8. Vertical lines have an equation of x=... so x=8 is the right answer.

Answer:  the correct option is

(B) x = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:  The given equation of a circle is :

(x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=25~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

The point (8, -2) lies on the circle.

We are to select the equation of the line that is tangent to the circle at (8, -2).

We know that

the radius of a circle and the tangent to the circle at the same point of contact are perpendicular to each other.

The STANDARD equation of a circle with center at the point (h, k) and radius of length r units is given by

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2.

From equation (i), we have

(x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=25\\\\\Rightarrow (x-3)^2+(y-(-2))^2=5^2.

So, the center of the circle (i) is (3, -2).

Since the radius of the circle passes through the point (8, -2) and the center (3, -2), so the slope of the radius will be

m=\dfrac{-2-(-2)}{3-8}=\dfrac{0}{-5}=0.

So, equation of the radius passing through the point (8, -2) will be

y-(-2)=m(x-8)\\\\\rightarrow y+2=0\\\\\Rightarrow y=-2.

So, the tangent at the point (8, -2) will be of the form

x=k.

Since the tangent passes through the point (8, -2), so we get

x=8.

Thus, the required equation of the tangent line at the point (8, -2) is x = 8.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

A rectangular pool contains 920 cubic meters of water. the pool is .4 meter deep and 100 meters wide. How long is the pool?
LekaFEV [45]
Hi there,

Sol:
Length of the swimming pool = 260 m
Breadth of the swimming pool = 140 m

Let the height of the water in the swimming pool after pouring water be h meters.

Volume of the water poured = 54600 m3

l x b x h = 54600
260 x 140 x h = 54600
h = (54600) / (260 x 140)
h = 1.5 m = 150 cm

Hope it helps

mario62 [17]

Answer:

$0.30 + $0.03n > $0.02 + $0.02n

Step-by-step explanation:

company x = $0.30 + $0.03n

company y = $0.02 + $0.02n

$0.30 + $0.03n > $0.02 + $0.02n

What is the sum of entries a32 and b32 in A and B? (matrices)
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.  13

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see two matrices A and B

<u>To find the sum of a₃₂ and b₃₂</u>

From the given attached figure we get

a₃₂ means that the third row second column element in the matrix A

b₃₂ means that the third row second column element in the matrix B

a₃₂ = 4 and b₃₂ = 9

a₃₂ + b₃₂ = 4 + 9

 = 13

The correct answer is option D.  13

Answer:

2. The change in expected height for every one additional centimeter of femur length.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. The expected height for someone with a femur length of 65 centimeters.</u>

<em>Doesn't make sense, that would be height value when centimeters = 65.</em>

<u>2</u><u><em>. </em></u><u>The change in expected height for every one additional centimeter of femur length.</u>

<em>Makes sense, for every increase in one additional centimeter, we can expect the height to be proportional to the slope.</em>

<u>3. The femur length for someone with an expected height of 2.5 centimeters.</u>

<em>Doesn't make sense, the linear relationship relies on the femur length to get the height.</em>

<u>4. The change in expected femur length for every one additional centimeter of height.</u>

<em>Doesn't make sense, again, the linear relationship relies on the femur length.</em>
