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

Adult tickets to a basketball game cost $5. Student tickets cost $1. A total of $3,159 was collected on the sale of 1,339 ticket
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

  • 455 adult tickets
  • 884 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then 1339-a is the number of student tickets sold. The revenue collected was ...

  5a + 1(1339-a) = 3159

  4a = 1820 . . . . . . subtract 1339, collect terms

  a = 455 . . . . . . . . divide by 4; adult tickets sold

  (1339-a) = 884 . . . . student tickets sold

455 adult tickets and 884 student tickets were sold.

Factor the equation 3m^2n+12mn^2
DiKsa [7]
That's not an equation.  It's just an expression that stands for a number.
Of course, we can't find the number until we know what 'm' and 'n' are.

The largest "common factor" is  3mn .

So in factored form, the expression is     3mn (m + 4n) .

Can you please help me​
Archy [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

5) angle 5 = 69°

than, angle 10 = 69° ( alternate interior angle )

6) angle 6 = 115° ( alternate interior angle )

7) angle 7 = 118° ( alternate interior angle )

8) angle 11 = angle 4 - 180

→ 72 - 180 = 108°

therefore, angle 11 = 108°

9) angle 14 = 114° - 180

→ angle 14 = 66°

10) angle 12 = 86° ( alternate interior angle)

hope this answer helps you dear...take care!
