Answer:

A = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the slope of the tangent line L is obtained by deriving the equation of the hyperbola:

y = \frac{2}{x}

y'=-2\cdot x^{-2}

The numerical value of the slope is:

y' = -2 \cdot (9)^{-2}\\y' = -\frac{2}{81}

The component of the y-axis is:

y = \frac{2}{9}

Now, the tangent line has the following mathematical model:

y = m \cdot x + b

The value of the intercept is found by isolating it within the equation and replacing all known variables:

b = y - m \cdot x

b = \frac{2}{9}-(-\frac{2}{81} )\cdot (9)\\b = \frac{4}{9}

Thus, the tangent line is:

y = -\frac{2}{81}\cdot x + \frac{4}{9}

The vertical distance between a point of the tangent line and the origin is given by the intercept.

d_{y} = \frac{4}{9}

In order to find horizontal distance between a point of the tangent line and the origin, let equalize y to zero and clear x:

-\frac{2}{81}\cdot x + \frac{4}{9}=0

-\frac{2}{9}\cdot x + 4 = 0

x = 18

d_{x} = 18

The area of the triangle is computed by this formula:

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot d_{x}\cdot d_{y}

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (18)\cdot (\frac{4}{9} )

A = 4

(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)
(x+4)(x+5) = (x+1)(x+12)
x^2 + 4x+5x+20=x^2+x+12x+12

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

3:30PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Martina starting playing video games as soon as she got home from school. She played video games for 15 minutes. Then Martina helped clean the kitchen for 45 minutes. After the kitchen was clean, it took Martina 15 minutes to finish her homework. When Martina finished her homework, it was 4:45 P.M. What time did Martina get home from school?

Step 1

We add up the minutes it took her to do things

= Minutes for video games + Minutes for cleaning the kitchen + Minutes for doing homework

= 15 minutes + 45 minutes + 15 minutes

= 75 minutes

= 1 hour 15 minutes

Step 2

When Martina finished her homework, it was 4:45 P.M. What time did Martina get home from school?

This is calculated be subtracting 1 hour 15 minutes from 4:45 PM

= 4:45 PM - 1 : 15

= 3:30PM

Therefore, Martha got home from school by 3:30 PM

A shelf is designed so it will fit in a 90º corner between two walls. The shelf has dimensions, rounded to the nearest tenth, as
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will fit snugly in a 90º corner

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we simply need to check if the given sides of the shelf is right-angled.

So, we have:

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{242

Side\ 1 = Side\ 2 = 11

To check for right-angle triangle, we make use of:

Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2 = Hypotenuse^2

This gives:

11^2 + 11^2 = \sqrt{242}^2

121 + 121 = \sqrt{242}^2

242 = \sqrt{242}^2

242 = 242

This shows that the given sides of the shelf is a right-angled triangle.

Hence, it will fit the wall
