Given: KL is a tangent to the circle.
LM is another tangent to the circle.

We can use the tangent meeting at an external point theorem.
Theorem: The tangent segments to a circle from an external point are equal.

Thus, we can say KL = LM, as they lie on a common circle, and are tangents to such circle.

4x - 2 = 3x + 3
4x - 3x = 3 + 2
x = 5

Since LM is 3x + 3, we can substitute the value of x to LM to render:
3(5) + 3 = 18

Thus, LM = KL = 18 units.

Use implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point. x2/3 + y2/3 = 4 (−3 3 , 1)

vovikov84 [41]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an equation of curve

$x^{\frac{2}{3}}+y^{\frac{2}{3}}=4$

We have to find the equation of tangent line to the given curve at point $(-3\sqrt3,1)$

By using implicit differentiation, differentiate w.r.t x

$\frac{2}{3}x^{-\frac{1}{3}}+\frac{2}{3}y^{-\frac{1}{3}}\frac{dy}{dx}=0$

Using formula : $\frac{dx^n}{dx}=nx^{n-1}$

$\frac{2}{3}y^{-\frac{1}{3}}\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2}{3}x^{-\frac{1}{3}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-\frac{2}{3}x^{-\frac{1}{3}}}{\frac{2}{3}y^{-\frac{1}{3}}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{x^{-\frac{1}{3}}}{y^{-\frac{1}{3}}}$

Substitute the value x= $-3\sqrt3,y=1$

Then, we get

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{(-3\sqrt3)^{-\frac{1}{3}}}{1}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-(-3^{\frac{3}{2}})^{-\frac{1}{3}}=-\frac{1}{-(3)^{\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$

Slope of tangent=m= $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$

Equation of tangent line with slope m and passing through the point $(x_1,y_1)$ is given by

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Substitute the values then we get

The equation of tangent line is given by

$y-1=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}(x+3\sqrt3)$

$y-1=\frac{x}{\sqrt3}+3$

$y=\frac{x}{\sqrt3}+3+1$

$y=\frac{x}{\sqrt3}+4$

This is required equation of tangent line to the given curve at given point.

A circle with a circumference of 51 inches to find the area

Kaylis [27]

$\textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ C=51 \end{cases}\implies 51=2\pi r\implies \boxed{\cfrac{51}{2\pi }=r} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2\qquad \implies A=\pi \left( \cfrac{51}{2\pi } \right)^2\implies A=\cfrac{51^2}{2^2\pi }\implies A\approx 206.98$
