Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the remaining angles add up to 90°, because the right angle (triangles have 180° total.)
2x + 15 + x = 90 | Given
3x + 15 = 90 | Combine x
3x = 75 | Subtract 15
x = 25
We know that
the equation of a sphere is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²+(z-l)²=r²
where (h,k,l) is the center and r is the radius
we have
x²+y²+z²<span>−2x−4y+8z+17=0
</span>
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the
constant to the opposite side of the equation
(x²+2x)+(y²-4y)+(z²+8z)=-17
<span>Complete
the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants
to each side
</span>(x²+2x+1)+(y²-4y+4)+(z²+8z+16)=-17+1+4+16
(x²+2x+1)+(y²-4y+4)+(z²+8z+16)=4
Rewrite as perfect squares
(x+1)²+(y-2²)+(z+4)²=4
(x+1)²+(y-2²)+(z+4)²=2²
the center is the point (-1,2,-4) and the radius is 2 units
X(5x+9)
x appears in both terms, so you can take it out
