Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

amid [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x - 2

slope of line = -4

slope of perpendicular to line = ¼

Point-slope equation for line of slope ¼, passing through (4,-4):

y+4 = ¼(x-4)

In slope-intercept form:

y = ¼x - 5

AB is a diameter of a circle, center O. C is a point on the circumference of the circle, such that
Solnce55 [7]

Given:

AB is the diameter of a circle.

m∠CAB = 26°

To find:

The measure of m∠CBA.

Solution:

Angle formed in the diameter of a circle is always 90°.

⇒ m∠ACB = 90°

In triangle ACB,

Sum of the angles in the triangle = 180°

m∠CAB + m∠ACB + m∠CBA = 180°

26° + 90° + m∠CBA = 180°

116° + m∠CBA = 180°

Subtract 116° from both sides.

116° + m∠CBA - 116° = 180° - 116°

m∠CBA = 64°

The measure of m∠CBA is 64°.
