She has been with her book club for 49 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Books read = 12 books

Time period = 7 months

Therefore,

12 books = 7 months

1 book = $\frac{7}{12}\ months$

Books read so far = 84 books

Total time period = x

84 books = x months

1 book = $\frac{x}{84}\ months$

Using both unit rates;

$\frac{x}{84}=\frac{7}{12}\\x=\frac{7}{12}*84\\x=\frac{588}{12}\\x=49\ months$

She has been with her book club for 49 months.

Prove algebraically that the straight line with equation x=2y+5 is a tangent to the circle with equation x^2+y^2=5

zmey [24]

Differentiate both sides of the equation of the circle with respect to $x$ , treating $y=y(x)$ as a function of $x$ :

$x^2+y^2=5\implies2x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=-\dfrac xy$

This gives the slope of any line tangent to the circle at the point $(x,y)$ .

Rewriting the given line in slope-intercept form tells us its slope is

$x=2y+5\implies y=\dfrac12x-\dfrac52\implies\mathrm{slope}=\dfrac12$

In order for this line to be tangent to the circle, it must intersect the circle at the point $(x,y)$ such that

$-\dfrac xy=\dfrac12\implies y=-2x$

In the equation of the circle, we have

$x^2+(-2x)^2=5x^2=5\implies x=\pm1\implies y=\mp2$

If $x=-1$ , then $-1=2y+5\implies y=-3\neq2$ , so we omit this case.

If $x=1$ , then $1=2y+5\implies y=-2$ , as expected. Therefore $x=2y+5$ is a tangent line to the circle $x^2+y^2=5$ at the point (1, -2).

A middle school is selling tickets to a play. The number of child tickets sold is half the number of adult tickets sold. They so

Sidana [21]

Answer:

child tickets - 47

adult tickets - 94

Explanation:

since the number of adult tickets sold is twice that of the number of child tickets sold, we can divide 141 into three parts to find the number of child tickets sold.

141 ÷ 3 = <u>47</u> (number of child tickets sold)

we can now multiply this by two to find the number of adult tickets sold.

47 × 2 = <u>94</u>

i hope this helps! :D
