Answer:

90°

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle C has radius √36 = 6

Circle D has radius √18 = 3√2

As the D radius intersecting either point of tangency, does so at a right angle.

The half angle θ between the tangents is

sinθ = 3√2 / 6 = ½√2

θ = 45°

so the angle between the tangents is 2(45) = 90°

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below 3x^2+27x+54=0
VikaD [51]

Answer:x=6

Step-by-step explanation:Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 18 = 18

Step-2 : Find two factors of 18 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .

-18 + -1 = -19

-9 + -2 = -11

-6 + -3 = -9 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and -3

x2 - 6x - 3x - 18

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

x • (x-6)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

3 • (x-6)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(x-3) • (x-6)

Which is the desired factorization

Which equation in point-slope form contains the point (4, –1) and has slope 3?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

y+1=3(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a slope of 3 and a point (4,-1).

We need to find the equation of the line in point-slope form

Point-slope form is given as y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is the slope, and (x1,y1) is a point

We have all of the needed information to substitute into the formula

First, let's label the values of everything to avoid any confusion

m=3

x1=4

y1=-1

now substitute into the formula *remember, the formula has SUBTRACTION, and we have a NEGATIVE number, so we'll end up subtracting a negative*

y--1=3(x-4)

simplify

y+1=3(x-4)

That's it!

Hope this helps :)

Graph the function y = x3 + 6x2 + 2x – 11. Based on the graph, what is the largest possible x-value if y = 0?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is done using Desmos. Just by substitution x = 1 will force the graph to go to y = 0, but graphs are not always that good. This one gets 1.111

to get y = 0. I'd use 1 if you had to answer it and a computer will mark it.

Can someone give me an answer for this?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

444 adult ticket

763 student ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = number of adult ticket

let s = number of student ticket

s+a=1207

5a+s=2983

get s by itself in the 1st equation so you can plug it into the 2nd

s+a=1207

-a      -a

s=1207-a

5a+(1207-a)=2983

solve for a

4a+1207=2983

-1207      -1207

4a= 1776

444

this is adult ticket amount

subtract this from 1207 to get student amount

1207-444=763

If CE bisects ZBCD and if m ZBCE = 3x - 6
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

m∠BCD = 90°

∠BCD is a right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If a ray bisects an angle, that means it divides the angle into two equal parts in measure</em>

∵ Ray CE bisects ∠BCD

→ Means divide it into two angles BCE and ECD which equal in measures

∴ m∠BCE = m∠ECD = \frac{1}{2} m∠BCD

∵ m∠BCE = 3x - 6

∵ m∠ECD = 2x + 11

→ Equate them to find x

∴ 3x - 6 = 2x + 11

→ Add 6 to both sides

∵ 3x - 6 + 6 = 2x + 11 + 6

∴ 3x = 2x + 17

→ Subtract 2x from both sides

∵ 3x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 17

∴ x = 17

∵ m∠BCE =  \frac{1}{2} m∠BCD

→ Substitute x in the measure of ∠BCE to find it, then use it to

   find m∠BCD

∵ m∠BCE = 3(17) - 6 = 51 - 6

∴  m∠BCE = 45°

∵ 45 = \frac{1}{2} m∠BCD

→ Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 90 = m∠BCD

∴ m∠BCD = 90°

→ The measure of the acute angle is less than 90°, the measure of

   the obtuse angle is greater than 90°, and the measure of the

   right angle is 90°

∴ ∠BCD is a right angle
