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

How can I solve this?
jok3333 [9.3K]

The 3 inside angles need to equal 180 degrees.

Angle K is given as 48 degrees.

Angle M would be 90 degrees.

Angle J = 180 - 90 - 48 = 42

Angle J = 42 degrees

grigory [225]

The pair of equations that has (0, 8) as its solution is: A. equation A and equation C.

<h3>What is the Solution to a System of equations?</h3>

The solution to a system of linear equations that are graphed is the pair of x and y coordinates of the points where two lines intersect.

In the graph given, the lines representing equations A and C intersect at point (0, 8). Therefore, the pair of equation that has a solution of (0, 8) is: A. equation A and equation C.
