Answer:
a. 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The external part of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is shown. The full length of the hypotenuse is 9+20 = 29. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find x.
x^2 +20^2 = 29^2
x^2 = 841 -400
x = √441
x = 21
__
<em>Alternate solution</em>
The diameter of the circle is 2·20 = 40 units, so the product of distances from the external vertex to the opposite sides of the circle along the secant is (9)(40+9). The product of the distances along the tangent is x·x. These two products are equal, so ...
x^2 = 9(49)
x = (√9)(√49) = 3·7
x = 21
Answer:
Parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
QR and ST both parallel to y axis.
X is in the second quadrant means that x/2 is in the first quadrant.
Consider the right triangle drawn in the figure. Let tan(x/2)=a.
Then, let the length of the opposite side to x/2 be a, the adjacent side be 1 and the hypotenuse be square root of a squared +1, as shown in the figure.
sin(x/2)=|opp side|/ |hypotenuse| =

cos (x/2) = |adj side|/ |hypotenuse| =

from the famous identity: sin(2a)=2sin(a)cos(a), we have:
2sin(x/2)cos (x/2)=sin(x)
thus




(3a-1)(a-3)=0
thus a=1/3 or a=3
thus tan(x/2)=1/3 or tan(x/2)=3
Answer: {1/3, 3}
Answer:
A function of the form
, where 'm' and 'b' are real numbers, is called a <u>linear function.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function is one in which the
value of the function varies linearly with 'x'. When we plot a linear function on a graph, the resulting curve is always a straight line with the slope of the line being constant.
A linear function is of the form:
, where, 'm' and 'b' are real numbers.
The degree or the highest exponent of 'x' in a linear function is always equal to 1.
Therefore, a function of the form
, where 'm' and 'b' are real numbers, is called a <u>linear function.</u>
