EF is tangent to circle P at G (1,-3). If the slope of EF is 7/9, what is the slope of GP?

The center of the circle is at P. 
The tangent EF is tangent to the circle at point G. So GP will be the radius of the circle. 

The slope of tangent EF = 7/9

The tangent of a circle is always perpendicular to the radius at the point where it touches the circle. So we can say that EF is perpendicular to GP.

The product of slopes of two perpendicular line is always equal to -1.

Slope of EF x Slope of GP = -1
So,

Slope of GP = - 1 / (Slope of EF)

Thus slope of GP = - 9/7

Find the exact value of the trigonometric expression given that sin u = − 8 17 and cos v = − 24 25 . (Both u and v are in Quadra
Rashid [163]

Answer: sin u = -5/13 and cos v = -15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The nice thing about trig, a little information goes a long way. That’s because there is a lot of geometry and structure in the subject. If I have sin u = opp/hyp, then I know opp is the opposite side from u, and the hypotenuse is hyp, and the adjacent side must fit the Pythagorean equation opp^2 + adj^2 = hyp^2.

So for u: (-5)^2 + adj^2 = 13^2, so with what you gave us (Quad 3),

==> adj of u = -12 therefore cos u = -12/13

Same argument for v: adj = -15,

opp^2 + (-15)^2 = 17^2 ==> opp = -8 therefore sin v = -8/17

The cosine rule for cos (u + v) = (cos u)(cos v) - (sin u)(sin v) and now we substitute: cos (u + v) = (-12/13)(-15/17) - (-5/13)(-8/17)

I am too lazy to do the remaining arithmetic, but I think we have created a way to approach all of the similar problems.

The formula for the volume of a cone is V = jarh, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h Is the heightWhat is the volume
olga nikolaevna [1]

Given:

The radius, r=4x

The height,

h=21xy^2

To find the volume of the cone:

The volume of the cone formula is,

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Substitute the values of r and h in the above formula we get,

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi\times(4x)^2\times21xy^2 \\ =\frac{1}{3}\pi\times16x^2\times21xy^2 \\ =\pi\times16x^2\times7xy^2 \\ =112\pi x^3y^2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the volume of the cone is

V=112\pi x^3y^2

Thus, the correct option is option D.

What visualization should be used to show how many observations of a certain value have been made?
Levart [38]
<span>A bar graph or pie chart would be good visualization method to demonstrate how many observations of a certain value have been made. The bar graph and pie chart would also provide slightly different perspectives on the proportion of observed values recorded.</span>
