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!!!

In the third degree polynomial function f(x) =x^3 + 4x, why are 2i and -2i zeros?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

We just need to evaluate and get f(2i)=0, f(-2i)=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since i^2=-1, then i^3=i^2i=-i, and we can apply this when we evaluate f(x) =x^3 + 4x for 2i and -2i.

First we have:

f(2i) =(2i)^3 + 4(2i)=2^3i^3+8i=8(-i)+8i=0

Which shows that 2i is a zero of f(x).

Then we have:

f(-2i) =(-2i)^3 + 4(-2i)=(-2)^3i^3-8i=-8(-i)-8i=8i-8i=0

Which shows that -2i is a zero of f(x).

HELP ASAP!!!!! Given: Point B is on the perpendicular bisector of AC¯¯¯¯¯. BD¯¯¯¯¯ bisects AC¯¯¯¯¯ at point D. Prove: B is equid
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:  Missing parts are,

In first blank,  AD\cong DC,

In second blank, SAS postulate

In third blank, CPCTC postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Here D is the mid point on the line segment AC.

And BD is a perpendicular to the line AC.

Therefore, In triangles ADB and CDB ( shown in figure)

AD\cong DC ( By the definition of mid point)

\angle BDA\cong \angle BDC ( right angles )

BD\cong BD ( reflexive)

Thus, By SAS ( side angle side )postulate,

\triangle ADB\cong \triangle CDB

So, by CPCTC( Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

AB\cong CB

Now, By definition of congruent segment,

AB=CB

By definition of equidistant,

B is equally far from both A and C.
