Answer:

Let P be the external point. O be the origin. join O and P get OP and nearest point on the circle from P be A.

Let Q be the point onthe circle  in which, tangent make 90° with radius at Q.

PQ = 8 and OQ = 6

we get a right angled triangle  PQO right angled at Q.

so, OP^2 = OQ^2 + PQ^2= 8^2 + 6^2 = 64 + 36 =1==

therefore OP =10cm

we need nearest point from P, which is PA

PA = OP - OA= 10 -6=4cm

9) State the coordinates of the endpoints of a<br> line segment that intersects the y-axis.
eduard

Answer:

(5,4) and (3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A line segment has 2 end points which can be denoted as:

(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

When this line segment intersects at y.

This means that the coordinate on the y axis is the same at both end points

i.e.

y_1 = y_2 = y

(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) becomes (x_1,y) and (x_2,y)

x1 and x2 can be any value but the y value must remain unchanged

Using the above analysis, a possible coordinate is:

(5,4) and (3,4)

Note that there are as many answers as possible as long as the coordinate pair satisfy is of the form (x_1,y)<em> and </em>(x_2,y)<em />

Take for instance, another possible pair is:

(1,-3) and (0,-3)

What is the answer to the following equation?<br>-x • 3x=?
Darina [25.2K]
The answer is -3 because:
A negative times a postive stays negative and also:
the variable "x" has an invisible one in front of it, so,
-1 x 3 = -3

Hope this helps :)
