Explanation:

Consider the attached diagram.

Circles A and B have mutual tangents CF and DE that intersect at point F.

We know that the two tangents to a circle from an external point are congruent, so ...

FE≅ FC

FD ≅ FC

By the transitive property of congruence, both segments congruent to FC are congruent to each other:

FD ≅ FE

Therefore, CF is a bisector of DE.

3. A prop for the theater club’s play is constructed as a cone topped with a half-sphere. What is the volume of the prop? Round

Mariana [72]

The volume of the prop is calculated to be 2,712.96 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The prop consists of a cone and a half-sphere on top. We will have to calculate the volumes of the cone and the half-sphere separately and then add them to obtain the total volume.

Step 2:

The volume of a cone is determined by multiplying $\frac{1}{3}$ with π, the square of the radius (r²) and height (h). Here we substitute π as 3.14. The radius is 9 inches and the height is 14 inches.

The volume of the cone : $V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}$ = $3.14 \times 9^{2} \times \frac{14}{3}$ = 1,186.92 cubic inches.

Step 3:

The area of a half-sphere is half of a full sphere. The volume of a sphere is given by multiplying $\frac{4}{3}$ with π and the cube of the radius (r³).

Here the radius is 9 inches. We take π as 3.14.

The volume of a full sphere = $V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$ = $\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 9^{3}$ = 3,052.08 cubic inches.

The volume of the half-sphere = $\frac{3,052.08}{2}$ = 1,526.04 cubic inches.

Step 4:

The total volume = The volume of the cone + The volume of the half sphere,

The total volume = 1,186.92 + 1,526.04 = 2,712.96 cubic inches.

q(x)= x 2 −6x+9 x 2 −8x+15 q, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, start fraction, x, squared, minus, 8, x, plus, 1

AURORKA [14]

According to the theory of rational functions, there are no vertical asymptotes at the rational function evaluated at x = 3.

<h3>What is the behavior of a functions close to one its vertical asymptotes?</h3>

Herein we know that the rational function is q(x) = (x² - 6 · x + 9) / (x² - 8 · x + 15), there are vertical asymptotes for values of x such that the denominator becomes zero. First, we factor both numerator and denominator of the equation to see evitable and non-evitable discontinuities:

q(x) = (x² - 6 · x + 9) / (x² - 8 · x + 15)

q(x) = [(x - 3)²] / [(x - 3) · (x - 5)]

q(x) = (x - 3) / (x - 5)

There are one evitable discontinuity and one non-evitable discontinuity. According to the theory of rational functions, there are no vertical asymptotes at the rational function evaluated at x = 3.
