Times the whole equation by 15 since the LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
You get: 5p-3p-6= 60
Rearrange to get: 2p=66
p=33
This will help u and hope its right .
To complete the square you halve the coefficient of the x term and square it. Half of 14 is 7 and 7² is 49. So we add 49 and subtract 49, which means we are not changing the value of the quadratic. So we have x²+14x+49-49+2. This can be written: (x²+14x+49)-49+2, which is (x+7)²-47, which is answer a.
Answer:
- <em><u>5.6875 in</u></em>
Explanation:
At the point of tangency, the <em>tangent </em>to a circle and the <em>radius</em> form a right triangle (the radius is perpendicular to the tangent).
Here you are given the length of the tangent (6in), and the distance from the bisected vertex to the circle (2.75 in)
I tried to upload the drawing but the tool is not allowing it now.
In the figure:
- The length of the tangent (6 in) is one leg of the triangle
- The distance from vertex and the circle (2.75in) along with the radius forms the hypotenuse of the right triangle: 2.75 + r.
- The other leg is the radius, r.
Then, you can use Pythagorean theorem:
Solve:
- r² + 36 = r² + 5.5r + 7.5625
The solution is in inches: r = 5.6875 inches ← answer
