Answer:

The axis of symmetry is x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, first find the two x-intercept values and then take the average. This will always be the line of symmetry.

x + 9 = 0

x = -9

x - 21 = 0

x = 21

Now take the average of these two numbers.

(-9 + 21)/2

12/2

Suppose y varies directly as x², and y = 160 when x = 4. Find y when x = 6.

labwork [276]

Finding the constant of proportionality :

y = kx²
160 = k(4)²
k = 10

Finding y when x = 6 :

y = 10(6)²
y = 10(36)
y = 360

The value of y is 360 when x = 6.

2. In the circle shown, secants PE and PF have been drawn such that mCE  82 , mDF  98 and the ratio 3. In circle O, tangent

Andrew [12]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The arc PR is $\theta _{PR} = 84$

Step-by-step explanation:

A descriptive diagram of the diagram given in the question is shown on the first uploaded image

In the circle tangent $\= {M \= Q}$ , secant $PE$ and chord $PF$ are drawn

given that $\theta _ {MPQ} = 102^o$ , $\theta _{M} = 60^o$

The objective is to determine PR

From the diagram we see that MQ is a straight which implies that the the angle

$\theta_{NPM} = 180 -102$

$\theta_{NPM} = 78^o$

Now looking at triangle NMP we see that

$\theta _{MNP} = 180 -[ \theta_{NMP} + \theta _{NPM}]$

$\theta _{MNP} = 180 - [60 + 78 ]$

$\theta _{MNP} = 42 ^o$

Now the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its arc intercepted, this statement is the inscribed angle theorem

So with the knowledge

Then

$\theta_{RNP} = \frac{1}{2} \theta_{PR}$

Looking at the diagram we see that

$\theta _{MNP} = \theta_{RNP} = 42 ^o$

$42 = \frac{1}{2} \theta _{PR}$

$\theta _{PR} = 2 * 42$

$\theta _{PR} = 84$

Probably really simple but my dumb butt don’t know it :/

The answer is: 454 miles. You have to divide 2951 miles by 6.5 hours so 2951/6.5=454.
