Answer:

x  ≈ ± 3.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )

x² = 15 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{15}

Then x ≈ 3.87 or x ≈ - 3.87 ( to 2 dec. places )

The center of a circle lies on the line y = 4x + 1 and is tangent to the x-axis at (−3,0) . What is the equation of the circle i
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

(x+3)^2+(y+11)^2=121

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a sketch of the problem as shown in the picture, where:

  • Blue line is given by y = 4x + 1.
  • Point B is the center of the circle.
  • Point A is (-3, 0).

Since the center of the circle lies on the line y = 4x +1 and is tangent to the x-axis at point A, then its radius BA is perpendicular to the x-axis. To find the coordinates of point B, we must replace x = -3 into the blue line equation: y = 4x(-3) + 1 = -11.

So, we know that the center of the circle is at B=(-3, -11). And furthermore, the radius BA is of length r=11.

Since the <em>general equation of the circle</em> of radius lenght r centered at (h, k) is given by

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

then with h = -3, k = -11 and r= 11, the equation of our circle is

(x+3)^2+(y+11)^2=121

Please find the perpendicular line slope equation please! Thanks!
lana66690 [7]

We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.

We can do that by solving for y.

x - 5y = 15

<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>

x = 5y + 15

<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>

x - 15 = 5y

<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>

y = 1/5x - 3

We now know the slope is 1/5.

The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).

The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
