The line l is a tangent to the circle x^2+y^2=26 at the point A

Mathematics

Answer:

  65 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming point O refers to the origin, the segment OA has slope ...

  m = Δy/Δx = 5/1 = 5

Then the slope of the perpendicular line AP will be the negative reciprocal of this, -1/5.

The x-intercept of the line through (1, 5) with slope -1/5 can be found by setting y=0 in the point-slope equation for that line:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  0 -5 = (-1/5)(x -1)

  25 = x -1 . . . . . . . multiply by -5

  x = 26 . . . . . . . add 1

This means ΔOAP has a base length (OP) of 26 units and an altitude of 5 units. Its area is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(26)(5) = 65 . . . . square units

Triangle OAP has an area of 65 square units.

The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with me
likoan [24]

Answer:

218 and 314 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 266

Standard deviation = 16

About 99.7% of all pregnancies last between what interval?

Within 3 standard deviations of the mean. So

266 - 3*16 = 218 days

266 + 3*16 = 314 days

218 and 314 days

What is the rate of change between (-8,- 8) and (0,8)
iren [92.7K]

{ \qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}

We need to find thr rate of change (slope) of the line joining these two points ~

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m =   \dfrac{rise}{run}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m =  \cfrac{8 - ( - 8)}{0 - ( - 8)}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m =  \cfrac{8  +  8}{0  + 8}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m =  \cfrac{16}{8}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m = 2

Slope of the line (m) joining the two points is 2 ~

Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. Given that w ∥ x and y is a transversal, we know that ∠1 ≅∠5 by the . Therefore,
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

From the graph attached, we know that \angle 1 \cong \angle 5 by the corresponding angle theorem, this theorem is about all angles that derive form the intersection of one transversal line with a pair of parallels. Specifically, corresponding angles are those which are placed at the same side of the transversal, one interior to parallels, one exterior to parallels, like \angle 1 and \angle 5.

We also know that, by definition of linear pair postulate, \angle 3 and \angle 1 are linear pair. Linear pair postulate is a math concept that defines two angles that are adjacent and for a straight angle, which is equal to 180°.

They are supplementary by the definition of supplementary angles. This definition states that angles which sum 180° are supplementary, and we found that \angle 3 and \angle 1 together are 180°, because they are on a straight angle. That is, m \angle 3 + m \angle 1 = 180\°

If we substitute \angle 5 for \angle 1, we have m \angle 3 + m \angle 5 = 180\°, which means that \angle 3 and \angle 5 are also supplementary by definition.
