Another plan to secure the roller coaster involves placing two concrete struts on either side of the center of the leg of the ro

ller coaster to add reinforcement against southerly winds in the region. Again, using the center of the half-circle as the origin, the struts are modeled by the equations y=x+8 and y=x-4 . A vertical reinforcement beam will extend from one strut to the other when the two cables are 2 feet apart. Recall that a reinforcement beam will extend from one strut to the other when the two struts are 2 feet apart. 9. Algebraically determine the x -value of where the beam should be placed. 10. Explain where to place the beam

Answer:

The beam should be placed 8 feet from the center.

Step-by-step explanation:

The struts are y = √(x + 8) and y = √(x − 4).  The struts are 2 feet apart at the location of the beam:

√(x + 8) − √(x − 4) = 2

Solving:

√(x + 8) = 2 + √(x − 4)

x + 8 = 4 + 4√(x − 4) + x − 4

8 = 4√(x − 4)

2 = √(x − 4)

x − 4 = 4

x = 8

Plz help me Find LM.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Because LP and NP are the same measure, that means that MP is a bisector. It bisects side LN and it also bisects angle LMN. Where MP meets LN creates right angles. What we have then thus far is that angle LMP is congruent to angle NMP and that angle LPM is congruent to angle NPM and of course MP is congruent to itself by the reflexive property. Therefore, triangle LPM is congruent to triangle NMP and side LM is congruent to side NM by CPCTC. Side LM measures 11.

The terminal side of an < θ intersects the Unit Circle at point P=(5/6, -√11/6)
arlik [135]

Given that the terminal side of an <θ intersects the unit circle at the point

P(\frac{5}{6},\frac{-\sqrt[]{11}}{6})

From the given point P:

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{5}{6} \\ y=\frac{-\sqrt[]{11}}{6} \\ \text{ s}ince,\text{ x is positive and y is negative, the angle lies in the 4th quadrant} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=\frac{\text{ opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}=\frac{y}{x} \\ \tan \theta=\frac{\frac{-\sqrt[]{11}}{6}}{\frac{5}{6}}=\frac{-\sqrt[]{11}}{5} \\ \tan \theta=-0.6633 \\ \theta=326.44^0 \end{gathered}
