x² + y² = 9 is the equation of a circle with center (0, 0) and radius 3.

This puts the vertices at (-3, 0), (3, 0), (0, -3), and (0, 3).

When is the tangent line vertical? when it passes through the x-axis.

Answer: (-3, 0), (3, 0)

For the data in the table, does y vary directly with x? If it does, write an equation for the direct variation.

Trava [24]

11 = 1.375 * 8
22 = 1.375 * 16
33 = 1.375 * 24
Therefore y varies directly with x.
Answer: C ) yes; y = 1.375 x

A circle has a diameter of 9cm

Katen [24]

For the square to fit inside the circle without touching it, the diagonal of the square needs to be less than the diameter of the circle.

Using the Pythagorean theorem we can calculate the diagonal of the square:

X = SQRT(5^2 + 5^2)

X = SQRT(25 + 25)

X = SQRT(50)

X = 7.07

The diagonal of the square is 7.07 cm, which is less than the diameter of the circle, 9cm, so it will fit .

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? check all that apply. 9x^2-6x+1=7

Evgesh-ka [11]

The answer is C and D

First we must make one side of the equation zero, so we subtract 7 on both sides of the equation, making the equation 9x^2 - 6x - 6 = 0

Then we will use the quadratic formula to find the answers.

using the Quadratic Formula where:
a = 9, b = -6, and c = -6

and the formula is 6 +- $\sqrt{6^2 - 4(9)(-6)}$ / 2(9)
