No, the tangent line needs to be against the circle from where it leaves. This is just a straight up right angle.
24x^2 +25x - 47 53
----------------------- = -8x -3 - ---------------
ax-2 ax-2
add 53/ax-2 to each side
24x^2 +25x - 47+53
----------------------- = -8x -3
ax-2
24x^2 +25x +6
----------------------- = -8x -3
ax-2
multiply each side by ax-2
24x^2 +25x +6 = (ax-2) (-8x-3)
multiply out the right hand side
24x^2 +25x +6 = -8ax^2 +16x-3ax +6
24 = -8a 25 = 16 -3a
a = -3 9 = -3a
a = -3
Choice B
26 - 4s = 9s
26 = 9s + 4s
26 = 13s
13s = 26
s = 26/13
s = 2
Create formulas!
x=number of adult tickets
y=number of student tickets
x+y=644 <em>total sold</em>
56+y=x <em>student was 56 less than adult</em>
Perform substitution
(56+y)+y=644
56+2y=644
2y=588
y=294
Substitute y into the formula we created
x+294=644
x=350
350 adult tickets were sold.
