Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
a
The tangent and the radius at the point of contact form a right angle
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle formed.
Let x be the distance from the centre to P, then
x² = 4² + 10² = 16 + 100 = 116 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
≈ 10.77 cm (to 2 dec. places )
b
let the required angle be Θ, then
Using the sine or cosine ratio in the right triangle.
cosΘ =
= 
Θ =
(
) ≈ 21.8°
Irrational, because it doesn't repeat
Answer: 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
Product stands for multiplication, so we need to use (×)
Let x = the number.
----------------------------------------------
The product of 8 and a number
8 × x=8x
24 = 24 cents. 62 nickels= multiply that by 5. 55 dimes= multiply that by 10. 16 quarters= multiply that by 25. 19 x 50 add together all solutions.
2 days late, but the answer is no solution. solving a system of equations means finding where they intersect, but by looking at these equations, you know that they never intersect--they're parallel.
they share a slope (2), making them either parallel or "the same line", but the different x-intercepts (9 and -9) mean that they're different lines. they have no solution, or no intersection point, because they're parallel lines.
