Answer:

The length of segment joining the endpoints of the arc is 8\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the triangle ABC

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

AC=BC -----> is the radius of the circle  

m

m ----> given problem (central angle)

Initially the triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle

Remember that

the sum of the internal angles of triangle must be equal to 180\°

For this particular case, the isosceles triangle ABC becomes an equilateral triangle, as the three angles are equal to 60\°

The equilateral triangle has three equal sides and tree equal angles

so

AC=BC=AB

Hence

The length of segment joining the endpoints of the arc is 8\ in

What are the x-intercepts of a parabola with a vertex of (-1,-16) and a y-intercept of (0,-15)?
Svetlanka [38]
The vertex-form equation is
  y = a(x+1)² -16
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
  -15 = a(0+1)² -16
  1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16

Then the x-intercepts can be found where y=0.
  0 = (x+1)² -16
  16 = (x+1)²
  ±4 = x+1
  x = -1 ± 4 = {-5, 3}

First, make sure that all the variables are in one side. The first equation is gonna be x-y=3

Second, we are going to eliminate the y because it is much easier, but you can also eliminate the x

We have to add both equation because the y in the first equation is negative and in the second equation it’s positive.

We are left with 3x=9

Therefore, x=3

Last, substitute x= 3 in one of the equations

Y=6

P.O.I is (3,6)
