Answer:
s = - 1 ±
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
s² + 2s - 6 = 0 ( add 6 to both sides )
s² + 2s = 6
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the s- term )² to both sides
s² + 2(1)s + 1 = 6 + 1
(s + 1)² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )
s + 1 = ± ( subtract 1 from both sides )
s = - 1 ±
Thus
s = - 1 - , s = - 1 +
1. The major arc ED has measure 180 degrees since ED is a diameter of the circle. The measure of arc EF is , so the measure of arc DF is
The inscribed angle theorem tells us that the central angle subtended by arc DF, , has a measure of twice the measure of the inscribed angle DEF (which is the same angle OEF) so
so the measure of arc DF is also 64 degrees. So we have
###
2. Arc FE and angle EOF have the same measure, 56 degrees. By the inscribed angle theorem,
Triangle DEF is isosceles because FD and ED have the same length, so angles EFD and DEF are congruent. Also, the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. It follows that
Triangle OFE is also isosceles, so angles EFO and FEO are congruent. So we have
