Answer:
A. 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The circles are concentric. I.e there is no point where the circumferences of both circles ever touch each other. Hence there can be no tangent line possible that can be common to both circles at the same time.
Answer:
AB=29; BC=27
Step-by-step explanation:
So they told us AB=4x+9 and that BC=5x+2, and AC=56 , now to help with the question you can draw this information on a number line. Now on a number you can see that basically AC=AB+BC.
So you would write it as such,,
4x+9+5x+2=56
Combine like terms
9x+11=56
Now you have to isolate the x by itself but first get rid of the 11.
9x+11-11=56-11
You would get
9x=45
Here you can divide 9 by both sides to isolate x.
9x/9=45/9
{x=5}
Now to find the value for both substitue x in the equations for both
1. AB=4x+9 where x is 5
4(5)+9 =AB
20+9 =AB
29=AB
You would do the same with BC
2. BC= 5x+2 where x is 5
5(5)+2= BC
25+2= BC
27=BC
If you want to check your answers you can just substitute x for 5 in the first equation we did where AC=AB+BC
This is what I did for factoring. Let me know if you need more work?
The slope is undefined because it is a vertical line on the x axis at 0. Its a straight line going up
