<h2>Answer:</h2>

The secant in the given figure is:

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that in geometry a secant is a line that intersect the circle or any curve in atleast two distinct points.

Here we have a curve as a circle.

Hence, the secant is: CD

( Also MH is not a secant since it does not intersect the curve at any point.

Also CT is not a secant because it is not a line, it is a line segment although it intersect the curve at two distinct points )

What the slope (0,-1) and (2,-5)

34kurt

Answer:

-4/2, or finding slope is (difference of y)/(difference of x) inserting those numbers into the equation would be (-5-(-1))/(2-0), which would become -4/2, which is basically -2.

Using the quadratic formula to solve 4x^2-3x + 9=2x + 1 what are the values of x

Alchen [17]

Answer:

x=5±√−103/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There's no real solutions

4x2−3x+9−(2x+1)=2x+1−(2x+1)

4x2−5x+8=0

x=−b±√b2−4ac/2a

x=−(−5)±√(−5)2−4(4)(8)/2(4)

x=5±√−103/8

If sin(x) = 5/13, and x is in quadrant 1, then tan(x/2) equals what?

Rufina [12.5K]

$x$ is in quadrant I, so $0$ , which means $0$ , so $\dfrac x2$ belongs to the same quadrant.

Now,

$\tan^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{\sin^2\frac x2}{\cos^2\frac x2}=\dfrac{\frac{1-\cos x}2}{\frac{1+\cos x}2}=\dfrac{1-\cos x}{1+\cos x}$

Since $\sin x=\dfrac5{13}$ , it follows that

$\cos^2x=1-\sin^2x\implies \cos x=\pm\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac5{13}\right)^2}=\pm\dfrac{12}{13}$

Since $x$ belongs to the first quadrant, you take the positive root ( $\cos x>0$ for $x$ in quadrant I). Then

$\tan\dfrac x2=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\frac{12}{13}}{1+\frac{12}{13}}}$

$\tan x$ is also positive for $x$ in quadrant I, so you take the positive root again. You're left with

$\tan\dfrac x2=\dfrac15$
