Answer:

65°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see a circle.

It is given that, measure of arc AD = 80° therefore m<ACD = 80/2 = 40°

Also m<D = 75°

<u>To find the measure of <DCQ</u>

We know that, an angle made by a tangent and chord is equal to the angle made by the angle made by the chord on other side of the circle.

Here m<DCQ = m<CAD

By using angle sum property,

m<CAD + m<ACD + m<D = 180

m<CAD + 40 + 75 = 180

m<CAD + 115 = 180

m<CAD = 180 - 115 = 65°

Therefore m<DCQ = m< CAD = 65°

The correct answer is third option.

Consider the equations y = √x and y = x^2 - 1

<h3>Answer:</h3>

(x, y) ≈ (1.49021612010, 1.22074408461)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

This is best solved graphically or by some other machine method. The approximate solution (x=1.49, y=1.221) can be iterated by any of several approaches to refine the values to the ones given above. The values above were obtained using Newton's method iteration.

Setting the y-values equal and squaring both sides of the equation gives ...

... √x = x² -1

... x = (x² -1)² = x⁴ -2x² +1 . . . . . square both sides

... x⁴ -2x² -x +1 = 0 . . . . . polynomial equation in standard form.

By Descarte's rule of signs, we know there are two positive real roots to this equation. From the graph, we know the other two roots are complex. The second positive real root is extraneous, corresponding to the negative branch of the square root function.
