Coordinate-system/717248: Find the equation of the line tangent to the given circle and passing through the given point
1. x^2+y^2= 26 (4,6)
1 solutions

Answer 440201 by solver91311(16897) About Me  on 2013-02-21 17:41:23 (Show Source):

Step 1: Recognize that a tangent to a circle makes a right angle with the radius at the point of tangency (hereinafter referred to as point T). Hence, the line segment between the center of the circle and the point (4,6) (hereinafter referred to as point A) is the hypotenuse of a right triangle where the legs are the radius at point T and the segement between point T and point A. Also note that your circle is centered at the origin, point O.

Step 2: Determine the length of segment TA. Use the distance formula to calculate the measure of OA. Determine the radius of the given circle by inspection of the equation. Use these values for the hypotenuse and one leg of the right triangle described in Step 1 to calculate the measure of TA.

Step 3: Notice that the segment TA is the radius of a circle centered at A that intersects the given circle at T. It is here that we realize that this problem will have two solutions because this new circle does, in fact, intersect the original circle at two points.

Step 4: Having the radius and center of this new circle, write the equation of this new circle.

Step 5: Solve the 2X2 quadratic system consisting of the equations of the two circles. It will be convenient to write both equations as functions of using the positive square root on the original circle equation and the negative square root on the new circle equation. The two roots of the resulting quadratic will be the -coordinates of points and . Finding the -coordinates is then trivial arithmetic.

Step 6: Using the two-point form of an equation of a line, derive the two desired equations -- one containing the segment and the other containing the segment

As you can see from the description of the solution, this is a complex problem with a labor intensive and difficult solution, and not something I care to do for free. Please write back for a quotation for a complete solution including a full explanation and graphical illustration, if desired.

Since it is direct variation you can write:



Substitute the values given for P and N, then calculate the value of k. Then substitute the the calculated value of k and the new value of N to calculate the resulting value of P.

No way to tell exactly since you didn't bother to mention whether this is a right triangle or not, and if it is a right triangle whether the side that measures 8 cm is the hypotenuse or one of the legs. The only thing that you can say for sure is that the measure of the missing side is in the interval

It is either a linear equation or a rational function depending on whether the variable is in the denominator or not. Use parentheses so that we don't have to guess what you mean.

Everything is good except for the reason for the last step. Should be: " bisects by definition of Angle Bisector". The definition of an angle bisector is that the bisector divides the angle into two equal parts. You just showed in the previous step that the two parts are equal. Therefore the segment dividing the angle is a bisector by definition. Q.E.D.

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/717234: The following project uses the game of Guess Your Card. This is a game in which
each player draws (without looking) three (3) cards. Each card has a number between 1 and 9 on it. The players then place their cards on their heads so that everyone but the players can see the cards.
The object of the game is to guess what cards you have. The first person to do this correctly wins.
During the play, each player, in turn, draws a question at random from a stack of questions. The player then answers the question based on the cards that he /she sees (not the player’s cards, which the player cannot see).
An Example
Andy has the cards 6, 6, and 7
Belle has the cards 3, 6, and 7
Carol has the cards 1, 1, and 9
Dan has the cards 3, 4, and 8
Andy draws the question card, “How many 7’s do you see?” He answers, “One,” because he cannot see the 7 on his own head; he sees only the 7 on Belle's head.
Next, Belle draws the question card, “Of the four even numbers, how many different even numbers do you see?” She answers, “Three,” because she sees the 4, 6, and 8 on Andy and Dan's head.
From this, Dan can conclude he has two even cards, since he can only see a 6 and Belle sees two (2) more.
Situation
You are playing Guess Your Card with three (3) other players. Here is what you see:
Andy has the cards 1, 5, and 7
Belle has the cards 5, 4, and 7
Carol has the cards 2, 4, and 6
Andy draws the question card, “Do you see two (2) or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” He answers, “Yes.”
Next Belle draws the question card, “Of the five (5) odd numbers, how many different odd numbers do you see?” She answers, “All of them.”
Andy suddenly speaks up. "I know what I have," he says. "I have a 1, a 5, and a 7."
I need help understanding what it is that they are looking for? Am I looking for my numbers and which equation needs to be used.

Since Belle sees 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 and you cannot see 3 and 9, you must have 3 and 9. You also know that your total matches either Belle (16) or Carol (12). Since you know that you have a 3 and a 9 and there are no cards with 0, it is not possible for you to have a total of 12, hence you must have a total of 16. 3 plus 9 is 12 plus 4 is 16, so your cards are 3, 4, and 9. Too bad you didn't figure this out before Andy spoke up and won the game.

There are 36 possible outcomes when rolling a pair of standard 6-sided dice.

There are 6 different doubles.

There is 1 way to make 12, 2 ways to make 11, and 3 ways to make 10.

There are 6 ways to make doubles and 6 ways to make greater than 9 as we have seen, but two of the ways to make doubles are already counted in the 6 ways to make greater than 9. So 4 plus 6 equals 10 possible successes.

Step 1: Graph the constraint inequalities. From the looks of the objective function, the values have to both be non-negative to achieve a maximum, so also graph and as additional constraints. Hint: When graphing constraints for a graphical solution to linear programming problems, it is often convenient to shade each inequality graph in the opposite sense than would ordinarily be done. That is to say shade the side of the line that is NOT the solution set. The result is that the feasibility area will be more visually obvious because it will be the only area of the graph with no shading at all.

Step 2: The feasibility area is where the solution sets overlap.

Step 3: Determine the critical points. These will be the vertices of the feasibility polygon (a quadrilateral in the case of the given problem).

Step 4: Test the objective function at the values of the coordinates of each of the critical points defined in Step 3. The optimum solution, if one exists, will be the set of vertex coordinates that make the objective function the maximum value. It is possible that two adjacent vertices give the same objective function result. In such case, there is no unique optimum. Rather, any point on the line segment that joins those two vertices gives an optimum result.

Laying out one of these problems is a significant amount of work; enough that I don't care to do it for free. Write back if you would care to negotiate a price for a complete solution to the posted problem.

Do exactly what your teacher told you to do. If the hypotenuse is , then we can say . The designation as to the other two sides is arbitrary because of the commutativity of addition, so we can assign and . Now plug these values into the Pythagorean relationship:



Now all you have to do is expand the squared binomials and collect like terms in the LHS. That will leave you with a quadratic expression equal to zero, which is simply a quadratic equation. Given correct arithmetic you will have an easily factorable quadratic equation. Discard the zero root because that is clearly absurd, leaving you with a positive integer value for that you can use to calculate the measures of your three triangle sides.
