Answer:

The correct option is a. The length of MN is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: MQ = 10 in, NP = 3 in and QP=24 in.

If the centers of two circles of radius r₁ and r₂ are d units apart, then the length of the direct common tangent between them is

l=\sqrt{d^2-(r_1-r_2)^2}

24=\sqrt{d^2-(10-3)^2}

Square both sides.

576=d^2-49

625=d^2

Take square root both sides.

25=d

Therefore  length of MN is 25 and option a is correct.

function P(x) = x4 − x3 − 11x2 + 9x + 18. Describe to the CEO what the graph looks like and, in general, how to sketch the graph
Svet_ta [14]
4th degree, so the ends both point in same direction
positive leading coefient so both ends point up

factor it to see wheere the roots are
the roots are r1,r2,r3,r4 in P(x)=(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)(x-r4)
factor
P(x)=(x-3)(x-2)(x+1)(x+3)
the roots are
3,2,-1,-3

disregard negative roots becasue you can't have negative time or something
3 or 2

see my rough graph

here is rough scetch

Find the surface area of the regular pyramid shown to the nearest whole number. The figure is not drawn to scale.
Pavlova-9 [17]
If  you look at the pyramid, the pyramid is really just a hexagon with 6 triangles stacked up to each other at the edges, with the hexagon at the bottom.

now, the perpendicular distance from the center of the hexagon to a side, namely the apothem, is 6√3, and each side is 12 units long, since there are 6 of them that'd be 72 for all, namely the perimeter.

each of the triangular faces have a base of 12 and an altitude or height of 11, recall that area of a triangle is (1/2)bh, and area of a regular polygon is (1/2)(apothem)(perimeter).

so if we just get the area of the hexagon at the bottom, and the triangles, sum them up, that's the surface area of the pyramid.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the hexagon}}{\left[\cfrac{1}{2}(6\sqrt{3})(72)  \right]}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{\textit{area of the 6 triangles}}{6\left[\cfrac{1}{2}(12)(11)  \right]}
