Answer:

A tangent line touches a curve at one point and has the same slope as the curve at that point. A secant line intersects at 2 or more points and has a slope equal to the average rate of change between those points.

Answer:

A Tangent of a circle is found outside of the circle but touching 2 points of the circle on the outside. But a Secant is found inside the circle and it touches 2 points in the circle. A Chord can always be Secant, but a secant can not always be a chord because it may pass through the circle.

Solve the following rational equation plz help!!
Yuri [45]

Answer:

x = \frac{9}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x}{x+1} - \frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{x^2+x} ← factor denominator

\frac{4x}{x+1} - \frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{x(x+1)}

[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]

Multiply through by x(x + 1)

4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4

4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x = \frac{9}{4}

However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then

solution is x = \frac{9}{4}

A 2-liter container holds more than a 3,000-milliliter container. True or false?
tiny-mole [99]

<u>To consider whether this statement is true or not</u>

   ⇒ must determine the <u>number of milliliters in a liter</u>

        ⇒ <u>1 Liter = 1000 milliliter</u>

<u />

<u>To compare both containers, lets set both containers in terms of milliliters</u>

  • Container 1 --> 2 Liter Capacity --> 2000 milliliter
  • Container 2 --> 3000 milliliter

<u>By looking at the data</u>

  ⇒ the 3000-milliliter container holds more than the2-liter container

<u>Thus, the statement</u>: A 2-liter container holds more than a 3,000-milliliter container

  ⇒ <u>False</u>

<u></u>

<u>Answer: False</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!

<u />
