If you were baking and you had to divide a 1/2 tablespoon in half you would need to know how to multiply fractions.Dividing is the opposite of multiplying so multiplying fractions is just the opposite of dividing fractions.

It's important cause when you understand how to multiply fraction,dividing fractions would be much more easier. Because dividing fraction is basically multiplying fraction (just flipping the second fraction upside down and then do the multiplication).

For which value(s) of the constant k is the circle x² + (y − k)² = 16 tangent to the line y = 3?
STALIN [3.7K]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation:Let us find points of intersection of line  </em>

<em>3 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>4 </em>

<em>y </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>0 </em>

<em> and circle  </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>y </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>16 </em>

<em>. We can do this by putting value of  </em>

<em>y </em>

<em> from first equation i.e.  </em>

<em>y </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>3 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>4 </em>

<em> and we get </em>

<em> </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>( </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>3 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>) </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>16 </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>16 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>or  </em>

<em>16 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>9 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>6 </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>256 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>i.e.  </em>

<em>25 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>6 </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>256 </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>0 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>This would give two values of  </em>

<em>x </em>

<em> and corresponding two values of  </em>

<em>y </em>

<em> i.e. two points. But tangent cuts the circle in only at one point. This will be so when discriminant is zero i.e. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>( </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>6 </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>) </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>4 </em>

<em>⋅ </em>

<em>25 </em>

<em>⋅ </em>

<em>( </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>256 </em>

<em>) </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>0 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>or  </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>64 </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>25600 </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>0 </em>

Solve the following system by the elimination method. Check the solution. 5x−5 = −7y, 3x+2y = - 8
torisob [31]
5x-5=-7y
3x+2y=-8

First, you need to rearrange the first equation so it is in the same format as the second one.
5x-5=-7y
Add 5 to both sides
5x-5+5=-7y+5
Add 7y to both sides
5x+7y=-7y+7y+5
So you have 5x+7y=5

Now you need to multiply that equation by 3
3(5x+7y=5)
15x+21y=15

Multiply the second equation by -5
-5(3x+2y=-8)
-15x-10y=40

Now add them together
15x+21y=15
+(-15x-10y=40)
---------------------
11y=55
y=5

Now plug y=5 into one of the original equations and solve for x.
3x+2(5)=-8 
3x+10=-8
3x=-8-10
3x=-18
x=-6

To check the solution plug them both into the other equation:
5(-6)-5=-7(5)
-30-5=-35
-35=-35

It checks.

Hope that helps.
