Write the equation for the line tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = 29 at the point (2, 5).

1 answer:

3 0

X2 + y2 = 29

Center of the circle
x=0 and y=0

Therefore the slope of the line perpendicular to the tangent line
(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
(5-0) / (2-0)
5/2

so the slope of the tangent
-2/5

General equation for the line
y = mx + c
if the line satisfies with the point (2,5)
5 = 2m + c

m = -2/5

5 = 2 * (-2/5) + c
c = 5 + (4/5)
c = 29/5

Therefore the equation of the line
y = mx + c
y = (-2/5) m + 29/5

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' represents the number of miles traveled and 'y' represents the total cost of of the taxi ride.

Cost of ride with a rate of $2.25 per mile = $2.25x

Since, service charge of the taxi = $3 for first mile

Total cost of the ride = 2.25x + 3

Equation for the cost of the ride will be,

y = 2.25x + 3

Since, farthest distance that the taxi can travel = 35 miles

That means value of x may vary between x = 0 to x = 35 (including x = 25)

Therefore, domain for the situation will be,

0 < x ≤ 35

Option B will be the answer.

Answer:

If you take into account all probabilities, and work on a strategy, rather than individual guesses, you can increase the probability.

Here are the possible outcomes:

BBB

BBR

BRB

BRR

RBB

RBR

RRB

RRR

If you use the strategy:

If a person sees a blue and a red, they pass;

If a person sees a blue and a blue, they guess red;

If a person sees a red and a red, they guess blue;

The probability comes out like this:

(B=blue, R=red, P=pass)

actual guess correct?

BBB RRR no

BBR PPR yes

BRB PRP yes

BRR BPP yes

RBB RPP yes

RBR PBP yes

RRB PPB yes

RRR BBB no

As you can see, this is a 6/8, or 75% chance of being correct.

Answer:

A,B,D

Step-by-step explanation:

case A) If the price is marked down by percent, the new price will be

we know that

If the price is marked down by 10 percent

then the new price will be

10%= 10/100=0.10

(1 - 0.10) *$28= 0.90 * $28

=$25.20

therefore The statement case A) is True

case B) If the price is marked down by 25 percent, the new price will be $21

we know that

If the price is marked down by 25 percent

then the new price will be

25%=25/100=0.25

(1-0.25)* $28=0.75*$28

=$21

therefore The statement case B) is True

case C) If the price is marked down by 50 percent, the new price will be $19 we know that

If the price is marked down by 50 percent

then the new price will be

50%=50/100=0.50

(1-0.50)*$28= 0.50*$28

=14

therefore The statement case C) is False

case D) If the price is marked down by 35 percent, the new price will be $18.20

we know that

If the price is marked down by 35 percent

then the new price will be

35%= 35/100=0.35

(1-0.35)* $28=0.65*$28

=18.20

therefore The statement case D) is True

case E) If the price is marked down by 40 percent, the new price will be $29.80 we know that

If the price is marked down by 40 percent

then the new price will be

40%=40/100=0.40

(1-0.40)*$28= 0.60*$28

=$16.80

therefore The statement case E) is False
