Answer:

His work is not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, when we solve a quadratic equation by completing the square method,

Then, we follow the following steps,

Step 1 : Move the constant term to the right side of the equation,

Step 2 : Make 1 as the coefficient of x^2

Step 3 : Add the square of the half of the coefficient of the x in both sides.

Here, the given equation is,

3x^2-7x+12=0

Step 1 :  3x^2-7x=-12

Step 2 : x^2-\frac{7}{3}x=-4

Since, in the Joseph's work the above expression is x^2-\frac{7}{4}x=-4

Hence, his work is not accurate because he divide the second term of the left side of equation by 4 instead of 3.

3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4

His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.

A line tangent to a circle and a radius of the same circle intersect at the point of tangency to create an angle of what measure
aliya0001 [1]

A theorem states that, given a circle with center C and a point P on the circumference, the tangent line through P and the radius CP are perpendicular.

So, the answer is 90 degrees.

14-x=9

14=x+9

x=14-9

x=5

14+5=19

x+y=19

x-y=(-5)

Adding both equations,

We get,

x+y=19

x-y=(-5)

2x=14

x=7

x+y=19

7+y=19

y=12
