Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, tangent lines touch a circle at one point. This one point intersects the circle at a 90 degree angle.
In any circle, the measure of an inscribed angle is exactly half of the arc it forms. Since forms an arc labelled 244 degrees, the measure of angle 2 must be
.
Angle 1 and 2 form one side of a line. Since there are 180 degrees on each side of the line, we have:
Answer: Choice A
False, because a logarithmic function is defined only for positive real numbers.
===========================================================
Explanation:
Using your calculator, you should see that ln(0) is undefined or it leads to some kind of error. The same happens when you try ln(-1) or any other negative number. So ln(x) only allows x > 0. This applies to any log function, and not just the natural log function.
This is why choice A is the answer. Choice B is close, but the use of "non-negative" is not correct because that means 0 is involved. But as explained above, 0 is not allowed as part of the domain.

Extra info (optional section)
As for why 0 and negative numbers are not allowed, you have to look carefully at what logs are designed for. They were formed to help solve exponential equations. Consider the following equation
2^x = 16
We could do guess and check to see which value would replace x. You should find that x = 4 is the solution. Though another way to solve is to use logs. The given equation converts to the log form of ; note how the number inside the parenthesis is positive. We can't have 2^x equal to a negative value, due to powers of a positive number being a positive result. So that's why we rule out negative numbers as part of the domain. Zero is excluded for similar reasoning.
