Answer:
m^2 = 35/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The line will be tangent to the ellipse where there is one point of intersection between the line and the ellipse. We can find that case by looking at the discriminant of the quadratic.
x^2 +9(mx +2)^2 = 1
x^2 +9(m^2x^2 +4mx +4) = 1
(9m^2 +1)x^2+36mx +35 = 0 . . . . subtract 1, collect terms
__
Then the discriminant is ...
(36m)^2 -4(9m^2 +1)(35)
We want it to be zero, so we have ...
1296m^2 -1260m^2 -140 = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses
36m^2 = 140 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 140
m^2 = 140/36 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 36
m^2 = 35/9

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information.
suppose a multiple choice test consists of 5 questions, each with 4 possible answers of which 1 is correct.:
So, we can now suggest that a person can answer each question in 4 different ways given that there are 5 different questions.
Thus, the students can check off one answer to each question in
= 4 × 34 × 4 × 4 × 4
= 1024 different ways.
From the 4 possible answers, since 1 will be correct, definitely 3 other answers will be incorrect.
Thus, the number of ways a student can check off one answer to each question and get all the answers wrong is = 3⁵
= 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
= 243 ways
