Angle measures are ∠M = 90° and ∠L = 24°
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: In the figure, LM is a tangent to the circle N at point M.
Tangents create right angles at the point of contact with a circle.
So ∠M = 90°
- Step 2: Sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°
⇒ ∠L = 180° - (∠M + ∠N) = 180° - (90° + 66°)
= 180° - 156° = 24°
This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !
You're totally correct, as far you went. x² + 2x does = -1
Now add ' 1 ' to each side: x² + 2x + 1 = 0
Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?
Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.
x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)²
So the solutions of x² + 2x + 1 = 0 are both x = -1 .
Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.
Answer:
good news, the second one is relatively easy because it can be factored to (2x+1)(2x-3) which means that number two has solutions of -1/2 and 3/2
but for number one you have to either use the quadratic equation cause I've tried using synthetic division or just use the second equation to derive the first solutions so I tried move the graph up by two units and found that the intercepts are approximately (1+-√2)/2 or 1/2+-1/√2 for 4x^2-4x-1
