Answer:

9 2/5 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Both melon and berries are "fruits."

The total weight of the fruit used is thus 1 lb + 8 2/5 lb, or 9 2/5 lb.

Convert 6 x 10 to the power of 5 into standard form

WINSTONCH [101]

First let's write it out with just numbers

6× $10^{5}$

Now solve!

Solve exponent first

10^5 = 100,000

Now multiply

6 x 100,000 = 600,000

600,000 is your answer

Complete the statement using always, sometimes, or never. A rectangle is __________________ a rhombus.

Lesechka [4]

Hi!

A rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus if it has sides of all equal lengths. If a rectangle was a rhombus, it would also be a square. Furthermore, a square is always a rhombus.

Hope this helps! :)

The equation of a circle is (x + 6)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 16. The point (-6, 8) is on the circle.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

y = 8 is the equation of tangent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the tangent to the circle at (-6,8) is of the form:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the tangent and c is the y-intercept.

The point (-6,8) lies on the circle and the tangent line as well.

Hence (-6,8) satisfies the line equation:

8 = m(-6) + c ⇒ c-6m = 8 -------------1

We know that slope of two perpendicular lines are related as:

$m_{1}\times m_{2}=-1$

At any point on the circle, the normal line at a point is always perpendicular to the tangent line at that point.

Hence :

$m_{normal} \times m_{tangent}=-1$

We can find the slope of the normal at point (-6,8) as it passes through the centre of the circle (-6,4) by using the two-points formula for slope.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
