Answer: Circumcenter = \bold{\bigg(1,-\dfrac{3}{2}\bigg)}    Orthocenter = (-4, -6)

<u>Step-by-step explanation for Circumcenter:</u>

Step 1: Find the midpoint of a line:<em> I chose (-4, 3) and (-4, -6)</em>

\bigg(\dfrac{-4-4}{2},\dfrac{3-6}{2}\bigg)=\bigg(\dfrac{-8}{2},\dfrac{-3}{2}\bigg) = \bigg(-4,-\dfrac{3}{2}\bigg)

Step 2: Find the perpendicular line that passes through that point:

Since it is a vertical line, the perpendicular line is y=-\dfrac{3}{2}

Step 3: repeat Steps 1 and 2 for another line: <em> chose (-4, -6) and (6, -6)</em>

\bigg(\dfrac{-4+6}{2},\dfrac{-6-6}{2}\bigg)=\bigg(\dfrac{2}{2},\dfrac{-12}{2}\bigg) = (1,-6)

Since it is a horizontal line, the perpendicular line is: x = 1

Step 4: Find the intersection of the two lines \bigg(y=-\dfrac{3}{2}\ \text{and}\ x = 1\bigg)

Their point of intersection is: \bigg(1, -\dfrac{3}{2}\bigg)

*************************************************************************************

<u>Step-by-step explanation for Orthocenter:</u>

Step 1: Find the perpendicular slope of a line: <em>I chose (-4, 3) and (-4, -6)</em>

Slope is undefined. Perpendicular slope is 0.

Step 2: Use the Point-Slope formula to find the equation of the line that passes through the vertex that is opposite of the line from Step 1 and has the perpendicular slope (found in Step 1).  

Vertex (6, -6) and m⊥ = 0  ⇒  y + 6 = 0(x - 6)  ⇒  y = -6

Step 3: repeat Steps 1 and 2 for another line: <em> chose (-4, -6) and (6, -6)</em>

Slope is 0. Perpendicular slope is undefined (x = __ )

Vertex (-4, 3) and m⊥ = undefined  ⇒  x = -4

Step 4: Find the intersection of the two lines (y=-6\ \text{and}\ x = -4)

Their point of intersection is: (-4, -6)

Tyson wrote this expression to describe the total amount of points he won in both rounds of a game.
Rainbow [258]
We know that Tyson wrote this expression to describe the total amount of points he won in both rounds of a game.  

The expression is f+15. Let variable f represent points. 

The correct answer is B. Tyson doesn't know how many points he earned in the first round. He knows he earned a total of 15 points in the whole game.

mountain bike tire completes 20 revolutions and travels 136 feet. Rounded to the nearest inch, what is the diameter of the bike’
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: 26in

s=r*theta

r=s/theta

d=r*2

136ft=r*40pi

r=136/40pi=1.082ft

d=1.082*2=2.1645ft*(12in/1ft)=25.97in

Rounded to nearest in is 26in diameter

Explain why the equation (x-3)^2-38=11 has two solutions. Then solve the equation to find the solutions. Show your work.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

X = 10 and X = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-3)^2-38=11

(x-3)^2 = 11 +38

(x-3) ^2 = 49

Taking square root on both sides

√(x-3) ^2 = √ 49

X-3 = +7, -7

X = 7 +3,    X= -7+3

X = 10        X = -4

So, it has got two solutions
