Answer: He will pick up a signal from the transmitter 29.43 miles of the drive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Radius = 29 mile

So, equation of circle would be

x^2+y^2=29^2=841

There is a straight line from a city 32 miles north i.e. (0,32) to a second city 40 miles east of the transmitter i.e. (40,0)

So, equation of line would be

y-32=\dfrac{0-32}{40-0}(x-0)\\\\y-32=\dfrac{-32}{40}x\\\\y-32=-0.8x\\\\y+0.8x=32\\\\y=32-0.8x

So, we will put this value in the equation of circle.

x^2+(32-0.8x)^2=841\\\\x^2+1024+0.64x^2-51.2x=841\\\\1.64x^2-51.2x=841-1024\\\\1.64x^2-51.2x=-183\\\\1.64x^2-51.2x+183=0

So, x= 4.12 and x = 27.1

So, y = 28.7, y = 10.32

So, distance between them would be

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{(27.1-4.12)^2+(28.7-10.32)^2}\\\\=29.43

Hence, he will pick up a signal from the transmitter 29.43 miles of the drive.

Is the given value a solution to the equation? 4(n) - 3 = -2(n) + 9 n=2
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Yes!

The solution to the equation is n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

4\left(n\right)-3=-2\left(n\right)+9

remove the parentheses

4n-3=-2n+9

Add 3 to both sides

4n-3+3=-2n+9+3

Simplify

4n=-2n+12

Add 2n to both sides

4n+2n=-2n+12+2n

Simplify

6n=12

Divide both sides by 6

\frac{6n}{6}=\frac{12}{6}

Simplify

n=2

Therefore, the value of n = 2.

Hence,

Yes!

The solution to the equation is n = 2

Geometry question plz help me!
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Any linear equation can be written as y = mx + b

The point will determine b

The slope (m) is found by this formula for a perpendicular line

m1 * m2 = - 1

m1 = -1/m2

m1 = -1/(-2/3)

m1 = 3/2

So our equation looks like

y = 3/2 x + b

Now we use the point (4,-8)

-8 = 3/2 (4) + b

-8 = 3(2) + b

-8 = 6 + b

b = - 14

The answer is

y = 4/2 - 14
