X=5
Since both lines are tanget meaning the only touch the circle once, both sides will be the same we can set up an equation 33=x^2+8 which is 25=x^2 and square root both sides to get 5 equals x

A weed called the raindrop vine is known for growing at a very fast rate. It can grow up to 0.75 feet per day. How fast in inche

viktelen [127]

R = rate of growth of raindrop vine = 0.75 feet/day

we know that : 1 feet = 12 inches

1 day = 24 hours

replacing the units accordingly in the above expression for rate of growth of raindrop vine

R = 0.75 (feet/day) (12 inches/1 feet) (1 day/24 hours)

R = (0.75 x 12 /24) (inches/hour)

R = 0.375 inches/hour

Answer:

Option 2: (1,0) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality is:

y>-5x+3

In order to find which point is solution to the given inequality we'll put the point one by one in the inequality. If the point satisfies the inequality, then the point is the solution of the inequality.

Putting (0,3) in inequality

$3 > -5(0)+3\\3>0+3\\3>3$
