Equating the y's:-

3x + c = x^2 - 5x + 7

x^2  - 8x +7 - c = 0

If y = 3x + c is a tangent then there  will be duplicate solutions to this equation 
That is the discriminant b^2 - 4ac = 0. So we have:-

(-8)^2 - 4 * 1 * (7 -c)  = 0
64 -28 + 4c = 0
4c  = - 36

so c = -9  answer

Sing acts are 5 min long and comedy acts are 3 min long. The show has 12 acts and last 50 min. How many singing acts and how man
ryzh [129]

Answer

so there are 7 singing acts and 5 comedy acts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= number of singing acts.

Let y= number of comedy acts.

We will take x+y=12 as our first equation, as there are 12 shows in total. We will take 5x+3y=50 as our second equation as there are 50 total minutes, and singing acts are 5 mins and comedy acts are 3 mins.

We solve x+y=12

Y=-x+12

We know y=-x+12, so we will substitute that for the y in the second equation.

1. Substitute 5x+3(-x+12)=50

2. Distribute 5x-3x+36=50

3. Solve 2x+36=50

2x=14

X=7

Now that we have found x, we will find y by substitute the x in 5x+3y=50 with the value, 7, that we found for x.

5(7)+3y=50

35+3y=50

3y=15

Y=5

Sophie [7]

Answer:

<h2>29</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(20,21,x) \\Pythagoras -Theorem =\\a^2+b^2 = c^2\\\\20^2 + 21^2 = x^2\\400 + 441 = x^2\\841 = x^2\\Square -root-both-sides\\\sqrt{841} = \sqrt{x^2} \\29 = x\\\\x = 29
