Determine if line AB is tangent to the circle.

Answer:

<em>Is a tangent</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>* Great question by the way *</em>

~ By definition, a tangent to circle is a straight line, presently perpendicular to a radius if one. In this case tangent AB should be perpendicular to the radius. If we were to call the center O, we would say AB should be perpendicular to OA. ~

1. Now let us say at the moment that AB is a tangent. If that is so, it should be that m∠A = 90 degrees ( ° ), provided AB is ⊥ to OA by definition.

2. Now the triangle ABO is a right triangle, and with that is should be that Pythagorean Theorem is applied. This can help us prove if AB is a tangent or not. If Pythagorean Theorem is not applicable it would mean ABO is not a right angle triangle, that AB is not ⊥ to OA, and thus can't be a tangent.

3. Let us say x ⇒ side OA, and that side BO = 9 + 8 + 17:

AB^2 + OA^2  =  BO^2,

15^2 + x^2 = 17^2,

<em>x = 8</em>

4. Now there are two radii present, OA is only one of them. As radii are ≅, OA = other radii, 8 = 8

5. This proves that Pythagorean Theorem is applicable, that ABO is a right triangle, that m∠A = 90°, and that by definition <em>AB is a tangent</em>

Please help thanks :)

Question 1:

Multiply both sides of the proportion by 35.

You get.

7(x-1) = 4x+2

7x-7 = 4x+2

Now, add both sides by 7 and subtract both sides by 4x

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

x=3

Question 2:

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of \frac{x+1}{x+3} by 3.

We want to multiply it by 3 so that the +1 and +3 become +3 and +9. +3 and +9 have a difference of 6, just like 15 and 21, which is what we want.

\frac{3x+3}{3x+9} = \frac{15}{21}

Set the numerator equal to the numerator and the denominator equal to the denominator.

3x+3 = 15

3x+9 = 21

If you solve both of these, you get x=4 for both.

That's your answer.

Hope this helps! :)

Which statistic is used to determine if there is a significant difference between three or more sets of related scores
crimeas [40]

The t-test is a type of inference statistic used to determine if there is a significant difference between the means of two groups that may be related to a particular characteristic. The t-test is one of many tests used to test statistical hypotheses.

Inference statistics have two main purposes. Estimates for population groups (for example, the average SAT score for all 11th graders in the United States). Hypothesis testing to draw inferences about the population

One-way ANOVA is a common method for comparing three or more group means. The usual goal is to determine if the mean (or median) of at least one group is different from the other. Subsequent multiple comparison tests are often used to determine where differences occur.
