Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ST and SU are tangents to the $\odot L$ from the point S to the points T and U respectively.
Measures of the tangents drawn from external point to a circle are equal.
$\therefore ST = SU$
$\therefore 7x - 3= 5x+1$
$\therefore 7x - 5x=3+1$
$\therefore 2x=4$
$\therefore x=\frac{4}{2}$
$\therefore x={2}$

Which is the center of a circle whose equation is x2+y2+4x-8y+11=0?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Center (-2 , 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x + y^2 - 8y = - 11

(x^2 + 4x + (4/2)^2 + (y^2 - 8y + (8/2)^2 ) = - 11 + 4 + 16

(x + 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 9

Center (-2, 4)

A. Explain why the point (100,2) is on the graph.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

the log function is the "inverse" function of an exponential function

by definition $log_{a} b = c$ then $a^{c} = b$

in this problem you have $log_{10} 100$

thus what x solves this ? $10^{x} = 100$ the answer is $10^{2}$

thus (100,2)

B) the x intercept is when y = 0

$10^{0} = 1$

x intercept at (1,0)

C) at 100, the curve will hit y = 5000
