Answer:

The equations of the lines that satisfy these conditions are

y = (9/8)x + (13/4)

And

y = (9/8)x - (13/4)

They can be written further as

8y = 9x + 26

and

8y = 9x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The line parallel to the line 9x - 8y = 1 has the same slope as 9x - 8y = 1

Writing the equation of the line in the (y = mx + c) form

8y = 9x - 1

y = (9/8)x - 1

So, the line(s) we are looking for has/have slope(s) of (9/8).

Its equation is then

y = (9/8)x + k

This line is then said to be tangent to the ellipses

9x² + 16y² = 52

So, since the line is a tangent to the ellipses, it will have the same coordinates as the ellipses at the point of contact.

9x² + 16y² = 52

y = (9/8)x + k

y² = (81/64)x² + (18k/8)x + k²

y² = (81/64)x² + (9k/4)x + k²

Substituting this into the ellipses equation,

9x² + 16y² = 52

9x² + 16[(81/64)x² + (9k/4)x + k²] = 52

9x² + (81/4)x² + 36kx + 16k² = 52

29.25x² + 36kx + 16k² - 52 = 0

Taking note that the two lines that will be tangent to the ellipses and parallel to the line given, to establish tangency, we make the discriminant of this equation 0. Hence, the roots of that equation will have equal roots.

So, the discriminant, b² - 4ac = 0

29.25x² + 36kx + 16k² - 52 = 0

a = 29.25

b = 36k

c = 16k² - 52

(36k)² - (4)×(29.25)×(16k² - 52) = 0

1296k² - 1872k² + 6084 = 0

576k² = 6084

k = ±(13/4)

So, the equation(s) of the line(s) required is

y = (9/8)x ± (13/4)

So, the equations include

y = (9/8)x + (13/4)

And

y = (9/8)x - (13/4)

Multiplying by 8, we obtain

8y = 9x + 26

8y = 9x - 26

Hope this Helps!!!

U(8, 9) and V(2, 5) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The midpoint M is (5,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

m = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1  + y2}{2} )

U(8,9)

V(2,5)

m = [(8+2)/2 , (9+5)/2]

= [(10/2) , (14/2)]

= (5,7)

Express 0.0939 as a fraction
DaniilM [7]
939/10,000 the decimal place indicates the fraction. You would love the decimal over 4 spaces which is the ten thousands place so that is what you set 939 over!

There are 29235 marbles and 371 jacks. If you want to know the percentage of jacks, do you divide the first number by the second
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Correct answer: Two decimal places to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

We will set the classic proportion:

29,235   -    100%

     371    -        x%

29,235 : 371 = 100 : x  ⇒ 29,235 · x = 371 · 100

x = (371/ 29,235) · 100 = 0.0127 · 100 = 1.27%

x = 1.27%

You divide first number by the second and then multiply with 100,

which is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the right.

God is with you!!!
