Given, arc QR is congruent to arc LN and arc OP is congruent to arc VW.
And the expressions for each arc in the diagram also given as:
Arc QR = 2x - y, arc LN = 11 , arc OP= 10 and arc VW=5x+y.
Hence, we will get the system of equations as following:
Arc QR = Arc LN
2x - y = 11 ...(1)
Arc OP = Arc VW
5x + y = 10 ...(2)
We need to find the value of x. So, we can add the equations to eliminate y so that we can solve the equations for x. Therefore,
2x+5x = 11 + 10
7x = 21
Divide each sides by 7.
So, x= 3
Answer:
y = (x/(1-x))√(1-x²)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be translated to rectangular coordinates by using the relationships between polar and rectangular coordinates:
x = r·cos(θ)
y = r·sin(θ)
x² +y² = r²
__
r = sec(θ) -2cos(θ)
r·cos(θ) = 1 -2cos(θ)² . . . . . . . . multiply by cos(θ)
r²·r·cos(θ) = r² -2r²·cos(θ)² . . . multiply by r²
(x² +y²)x = x² +y² -2x² . . . . . . . substitute rectangular relations
x²(x +1) = y²(1 -x) . . . . . . . . . . . subtract xy²-x², factor
y² = x²(1 +x)/(1 -x) = x²(1 -x²)/(1 -x)² . . . . multiply by (1-x)/(1-x)
__
The attached graph shows the equivalence of the polar and rectangular forms.
