Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle formed by the tangent BC and the radius AB is right at B

Thus ΔABC is right with AC as the hypotenuse

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, hence

AC² = AB² + BC² ← substitute given values

(x + 6)² = x² + 12² ← expand squared parenthesis on left side

x² + 12x + 36 = x² + 144 ( subtract x² from both sides )

12x + 36 = 144 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

12x = 108 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tear this apart piece by piece

15 -  8 = 7

7 *  3 = 21

11 + 21 = 32

Now so far this much is correct. The problem is the next sign. Is it add or is it divide. The only way to resolve it is to do it both ways.

Add 4

32 + 4 = 36

Divide 4

32 / 4 = 8 1/4 = 8

Answer:

-3,3.1, 3 2/10

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are putting different numbers from least to greatest, you need to put them in the same form...

First things first we should put -3 wayy up front. negative numbers are worth less than positive numbers.

Then we need to turn 3 2/10 into a decimal.

3 2/10 -------> 3.2

3.2 is more than 3.1

Thus, the order is

-3,3.1, 3 2/10

Hope this helps and have a nice day.

match the steps to find the equation of the parabola with focus (-1, -8.75) and directrix y = - 9.25.
choli [55]

Answer:

The matched options to the given problem is below:

Step1: Choose a point on the parabola

Step2: Find the distance from the focus to the point on the parabola.

Step3: Use (x, y).

Find the distance from the point on the parabola to the directrix.

Step4: Set the distance from focus to the point equal to the distance from directrix to the point.

Step5: Square both sides and simplify.

Step6: Write the equation of the parabola.

Step by step Explanation:

Given that the focus (-1,2) and directrix x=5

To find the equation of the parabola:

By using focus directrix property of parabola

Let S be a point and d be line

focus (-1,2) and directrix x=5 respectively

If P is any point on the parabola then p is equidistant from S and d

Focus S=(-1,2), d:x-5=0]

Solving Linear Equat<br> Solve the linear equation:<br> 3.4 + 2(9.7 – 4.8x) = 61.2
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3.4 + 2(9.7 + -4.8x) = 61.2

3.4 + (9.7 * 2 + -4.8x * 2) = 61.2

3.4 + (19.4 + -9.6x) = 61.2

Combine like terms: 3.4 + 19.4 = 22.8

22.8 + -9.6x = 61.2

Solving

22.8 + -9.6x = 61.2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-22.8' to each side of the equation.

22.8 + -22.8 + -9.6x = 61.2 + -22.8

Combine like terms: 22.8 + -22.8 = 0.0

0.0 + -9.6x = 61.2 + -22.8

-9.6x = 61.2 + -22.8

Combine like terms: 61.2 + -22.8 = 38.4

-9.6x = 38.4

Divide each side by '-9.6'.

x = -4

Simplifying

x = -4
