Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle you can you pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

A= shortest side.

B=middle side.

C=longest/slanted side or hypotenuse.

So AB is the hypotenuse.

BC is the short side.

this means that AC is the middle side. Plug your numbers in.

25 + b^2 =169

b^2=144

b=12

AC=12

Suppose h(t) = -4t^2+ 11t + 3 is the height of a diver above the water (in

Bingel [31]

The diver will hit the water when the height is zero, so we will want to set our height function equal to zero
0 = -4t^2 + 11t + 3
we will then factor to find out value of t that make the function equal to zero
0 = (-4t - 1 ) ( t - 3 )
This means our function equals zero when t = -1/4 s and t = 3 seconds
Since time cannot be negative, our final solution is t = 3 seconds

defon

Answer:

Part 1) $m\angle AFE=55^o$

Part 2) $m\angle EFB=125^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) what is the measure of angle AFE

we know that

The measure of the interior angle is the semisum of the arches that comprise it and its opposite.

<u>Note:</u> In this problem the correct measure of arc EA is 40 degrees (see the picture)

$m\angle AFE=\frac{1}{2}(arc\ EA+arc\ DB)$

substitute the given values

$m\angle AFE=\frac{1}{2}(40^o+70^o)=55^o$

Part 2) what is the measure of angle EFB?

we know that

$m\angle AFE+m\angle EFB=180^o$ ---> by supplementary angles (form a linear pair)

substitute the given value

$55^o+m\angle EFB=180^o$

$m\angle EFB=180^o-55^o=125^o$

Which equation represents the circle described? (in picture)

Sedaia [141]

You are right. In circle equation we have =r² so the correct answer will be C od D. But we have to calculate the center of a circle.

$x^2+y^2-8x-6y+24=0\quad|-24\\\\(x^2-8x)+(y^2-6y)=-24$

Complete the square:

$x^2-8x+a^2\implies a=\dfrac{8x}{2x}=4\implies x^2-8x+4^2\\\\\\y^2-6y+b^2\implies b=\dfrac{6y}{2y}=3\implies y^2-6y+3^2$

And we have:

$(x^2-8x)+(y^2-6y)=-24\\\\(x^2-8x+4^2)-4^2+(y^2-6y+3^2)-3^2=-24\\\\
(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2-16-9=-24\\\\(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2-25=-24\quad|+25\\\\\boxed{(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2=1}$

So the answer is C (the same left side of equation).
