Answer:

x-intercept: (3, 0)

y-intercept: (0, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a function like:

y = f(x)

The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0

the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0

Also remember that an ordered pair is written as (x, y).

In this case we have the equation:

2*x + 3*y = 6

For the x-intercept, we just replace y by zero in the equation, then we get:

2*x + 3*0 = 6

Solving this for x, we get:

2*x = 6

x = 6/2 = 3

Then in this case, the ordered pair for the x-intercept is (3, 0)

For the y-intercept, we just need to replace x by zero in the equation:

2*0 + 3*y = 6

Solving this for y, we get:

3*y = 6

y = 6/3 = 2

Then the ordered pair for the y-intercept is (0, 2)

Problem 1

Since point P is the tangent point, this means angle OPT is a right angle

angle OPT = 90 degrees

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side 'a'

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 7^2 = 12^2

a^2 + 49 = 144

a^2 = 144 - 49

a^2 = 95

a = sqrt(95)

a = 9.7467943

a = 9.7

----------------

Let's use the sine and arcsine rule to find angle y

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(y) = 7/12

y = arcsin( 7/12 )

y = 35.6853347

y = 35.7

The value of y is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. Arcsine is the same as inverse sine or \sin^{-1}

====================================================

Problem 2

Focus on triangle OHP. This may or may not be a right triangle. The goal is to test if it is or not.

We use the converse of the Pythagorean theorem to check.

Recall that the converse of the Pythagorean theorem says: If a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation, then the triangle is a right triangle. The value of c is always the longest side. The order of a and b doesn't matter.

In this case we have

  • a = 7
  • b = 13
  • c = 16

Which leads to

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

7^2 + 13^2 = 16^2

49 + 169 = 256

218 = 256

We get a false equation at the end, since both sides aren't the same number, which means the original equation is false.

We don't get a^2 + b^2 = c^2 to be true, therefore this triangle is not a right triangle.

Consequently, this means angle OPH cannot possible be 90 degrees (if it was then we'd have a right triangle). Therefore, point P is not a tangent point.

You follow the same basic idea for triangle OQH and show that point Q is not a tangent point either. Or you could use a symmetry argument to note that triangle OPH is a mirror reflection of triangle OQH over the line segment OH. This implies that whatever properties triangle OPH has, then triangle OQH has them as well for the corresponding pieces.

State if the two triangles are similar and the rule that applies.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The SAS rule states that two triangles are similar if the ratio of their corresponding two sides is equal and also, the angle formed by the two sides is equal. Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule: Two triangles are similar if all the corresponding three sides of the given triangles are in the same proportion.

Straight leg jeans are 20% off at Kohls this week. How much will you pay for 4 pairs if the regular price is $59.99?
ankoles [38]
20% of 59.99 is 11.998 so 11.99. 59.99 - 11.99 = 48. 48x4 is 192
