Tangent = opposite/adjacent
tangent = 15 / 8
If opp = 15 and adj = 8 then
hypotenuse^2 = 15^2 + 8^2
hypotenuse^2 = 225 + 64
hypotenuse^2 = 289
hypotenuse = 17

secant = hypotenuse / adjacent
secant = 17 / 8
secant = 2.125

Answer:

A x=1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x = 1/6

Divide by 2/3

= 1/6 • 3/2

= 3/12

= 1/4

Find an equation for the perpendicular Bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-9,-8) and (7,-4
Alina [70]

equation for the perpendicular Bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-9,-8) and (7,-4)

Perpendicular bisector lies at the midpoint of a line

Lets find mid point of  (-9,-8) and (7,-4)

midpoint formula is

\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

\frac{-9+7}{2} ,\frac{-8+-4}{2}

midpoint is (-1, -6)

Now find the slope of the given line

(-9,-8) and (7,-4)

slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} = \frac{-4-(-8)}{7-(-9)}

slope = \frac{-4+8}{7+9}= \frac{4}{16} =\frac{1}{4}

Slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal of slope of given line

So slope of perpendicular line is -4

slope = -4  and midpoint is (-1,-6)

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

y - (-6) = -4(x-(-1))

y + 6 = -4(x+1)

y + 6 = -4x -4

Subtract 6 on both sides

y = -4x -4-6

y= -4x -10

equation for the perpendicular Bisector y = -4x - 10

Carl bought 19 apples of 2 different varieties to make a pie.The total cost of the apple was $5.10.Granny Smith apples cost $0.2
disa [49]

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Let the variable representing the quantity of Granny Smith apples

y: Let the variable representing the number of Gala apples

According to the statement we have:

x + y = 19\\0.25x + 0.30y = 5.10

From the first equation we have to:

x = 19-y

replacing in the second equation:

0.25 (19-y) + 0.30y = 5.10\\4.75-0.25y + 0.30y = 5.10\\4.75 + 0.05y = 5.10\\0.05y = 5.10-4.75\\0.05y = 0.35\\y = \frac {0.35} {0.05}\\y = 7

So, Carl bought 7 Gala apples

On the other hand:

x = 19-7 = 12

So, Carl bought 12 Granny Smith apples

Answer:

Carl bought 7 Gala apples and 12 Granny Smith apples

Question 1 of 9
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros ( where the graph crosses the x- axis ) are x = 2 and x = 6

The corresponding factors are (x - 2) and (x - 6) and the equation is the product of the factors, so

y = (x - 2)(x - 6) ←  expand using Foil

y = x² - 8x + 12 → B
