Answer:
A tangent line touches a curve at one point and has the same slope as the curve at that point. A secant line intersects at 2 or more points and has a slope equal to the average rate of change between those points.
Step-by-step explanation:
it is a right-angled triangle, so the side lengths need to fulfill the Pythagoras rule :
c² = a² + b²
where c is the Hypotenuse, the baseline opposite of the 90 degree angle. and a and b (often called legs) are the sides "enclosing" the 90 degree angle.
so, we have
20² = a² + 12²
400 = a² + 144
a² = 256
a = 16
FYI - we could have picked the right answer also by eliminating the wrong given answer options.
as this is a right-angled triangle :
a cannot be longer than the baseline (20).
that eliminates already the first 2 options.
and then look at the picture : a cannot be shorter than b (the other side line (12)).
that eliminates the third option.
Answer:
x = -52
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3x-2/3=-18
Multiply each side by 3 to clear the fractions
3(1/3x-2/3)=-18*3
x - 2 = -54
Add 2 to each side
x-2+2 = -54+2
x = -52
If max starts with 5 apples and then gives away too hes subtracting 2 so he has 3 left
equation: 5-2=3
The answer would be 14/45
