Answer:

  (a) 4

  (b) 2√3

  (c) 60°

  (d) 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The relationship between tangents and secants is ...

  CB^2 = CD·CA

Filling in the given values, we find ...

  CB^2 = 2·(2+6) = 16

  CB = √16 = 4

The length of BC is 4 units.

__

(b) Triangle ABC is a right triangle, so the sides of it satisfy the Pythagorean theorem.

  CA^2 = CB^2 +AB^2

  8^2 = 16 +AB^2

  AB = √48 = 4√3

The radius is half the length of AB, so the radius is 2√3.

__

(c) The measure of angle C can be determined from the cosine relation:

  cos(C) = CB/CA = 4/8 = 1/2

  C = arccos(1/2) = 60°

The measure of angle C is 60°.

__

(d) Arc AD is intercepted by angle ABD, which has the same measure as angle C. Hence the measure of arc AD is twice the measure of angle C.

The measure of arc AD is 120°.

Identify the domain of the exponential function shown in the following graph. Explain how you know.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The domain of the function is R i.e. any real value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure is a graph on the coordinate plane of the function y = 10^{x}

Now, the domain of a function means that the values of x (Independent variable) for which the function is valid i.e. the y values are real.

It is clear from the equation given above that for any real value of x there will be a real corresponding value of y.

Therefore, the domain of the function is R i.e. any real value. (Answer)
