B.) 66

arc PN is 114 degrees bc it’s congruent to the central angle. therefore, the rest of the circle is 246 degrees bc 360-114=246. divide the difference of intercepted arcs (246 and 114) by 2 to get the angle formed by the tangents. (246-114)/2=66

Can somebody prove this mathmatical induction?

Flauer [41]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1 step:

n=1, then

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^1 2^j=2^1=2\\ \\2(2^1-1)=2(2-1)=2\cdot 1=2$

So, for j=1 this statement is true

2 step:

Assume that for n=k the following statement is true

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)$

3 step:

Check for n=k+1 whether the statement

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=2(2^{k+1}-1)$

is true.

Start with the left side:

$\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}\ \ (\ast)$

According to the 2nd step,

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)$

Substitute it into the $\ast$

$\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}=2(2^k-1)+2^{k+1}=2^{k+1}-2+2^{k+1}=2\cdot 2^{k+1}-2=2^{k+2}-2=2(2^{k+1}-1)$

So, you have proved the initial statement

Part 1

svetlana [45]

Answer:

A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.

B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.

Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).

To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:

12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.

4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.

(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.

4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.

x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.

It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!

Look at the expression 1/2 (c + 8). Tell whether each statement about the expression is True or False. 50 points if right and if

Alika [10]

Answer:

a)true becuase ×1/2 and ÷2 are doing the same thing

b) true bc they simplified the equation

c)true bc a term is a number or letter and 1/2 is the coefficient

d) true bc thats what the equation is telling you to do

In politics, marketing, etc. We often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is t

inessss [21]

Answer: |p-72% |≤ 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion.

The absolute inequality about p using an absolute value inequality.:

$|p-\hat{p}| \leq E$ , where E = margin of error, $\hat{p}$ = sample proportion

Given: A poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% .

|p-72% |≤ 4%

⇒ 72% - 4% ≤ p ≤ 72% +4%

⇒ 68% ≤ p ≤ 76%.

i.e. p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (.
