Complete Question:

The equation a= 180(n-2)/n represents the angle measures, a, in a regular n-sided polygon. When the equation is solved for n, n is equal to a fraction with a denominator of a – 180. What is the numerator of the fraction?

Answer:

The numerator of fraction is -360

Solution:

Given that,

The equation represents the angle measures, a, in a regular n-sided polygon is:

$a = \frac{180(n - 2)}{n}$

We have to solve the equation for "n"

Rearrange the equation

$a \times n = 180(n - 2)\\\\a \times n = 180n - 360\\\\an - 180 n = -360\\\\Take\ n\ as\ common\ factor\\\\n(a-180) = -360\\\\n = \frac{-360}{a - 180}$

Thus the numerator of the fraction is -360

1. What is the slope of the line tangent to the curve defined by y2 + xy - x2 = 11x at the point (2, 3)?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

By using Implicit Differentiation,

d/dx (y² + xy - x²) = d/dx (11x)

d/dx (y²) + d/dx (xy) - d/dx (x²) = 11

2y * dy/dx + x * dy/dx + y - 2x = 11

dy/dx (2y + x) = 11 + 2x - y

dy/dx = (11 + 2x - y) / (2y + x).

At the point (2, 3), we have x = 2, y = 3.

=> dy/dx = (11 + 2(2) - (3)) / (2(3) + (2))

= 12 / 8 = 1.5.

P.S. Your question is weird because (2,3) is not on the graph, let me know what is the correct question thanks!

Find the coordinates of the point where the line <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D5x%2B7%5C%5C" id="TexFormula1" title="y=5

Answer:

(0, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point that crosses the y-axis is called the y-intercept of the line.

We are given an equation of the line and we need to determine the y-intercept. This can be done by determining the constant in the equation.

What are constants?

Constants are such terms that include only numbers. There should be no variables in constants.

We know that:

$\bullet \ \text{Given equation of line: y = 5x + 7}$

The constant we can see in the equation is "7". Therefore, the y-intercept is 7.

Note: The y-intercept of the line must have an x-coordinate of 0.

Therefore,

⇒ Coordinates of y-intercept: (x, y) ==> (0, 7).
