Find the equation of the lines, that is parallel to the line 9x-8y=1, and tangent to the elipses 9x^2+16y^2=52.

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!!!

When both parties discuss the terms of a contract they are
marysya [2.9K]
B - Negotiating.

This is because they are communicating, they haven't yet agreed to anything or committed to the contract as neither parties have signed, thus leading to both C and D to be incorrect.

A, however, is not exactly a term used for this situation - contracting is more of a term used to say someone contracted a disease or the flu or etc. 

Therefore, B would be correct as they are indeed negotiating the terms of the contract.

Hope this helps!

On circle OOO below, the measure of \stackrel{\LARGE{\frown}}{FJ} FJ ⌢ F, J, start superscript, \frown, end superscript is 84^\c
lianna [129]

Answer:

100°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between chords is the average of the intersected arc angles.

∠FKJ = ½ (84° + 76°)

∠FKJ = 80°

∠HKJ is supplementary to ∠FKJ.

∠HKJ = 180° − 80°

∠HKJ = 100°

Sandra wants to buy some t-shirts online that cost $14 each, and the shipping cost is $23. She has $65 to spend.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

B: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression would be 14m + 23 = 65.

14m + 23 - 23 = 65 - 23 =

14m = 42

14m ÷ 14 = 42 ÷ 14 =

m = 3

I hope this helped and if it did I would appreciate it if you marked me Brainliest. Thank you and have a nice day!
