The circle C, with centre at the point A, has equation x2 + y2 – 10x + 9 = 0. Find
(a) the coordinates of A, (2)
(b) the radius of C, (2)
(c) the coordinates of the points at which C crosses the x-axis. (2)
Given that the line l with gradient is a tangent to C, and that l touches C at the point T,
(d) find an equation of the line which passes through A and T. (3)

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75

the image is given below

since the options are not given so we draw it from the equation

the given equation is

y = (x-1) (x+4)

y = y² + 3x - 4

the above equation is a quadratic equation which will have two roots. if we draw the graph for it, it will look like this

answer: 4  

the square root of 16 is 4. it is a very simple mathematic concept. a square root when a number multiplied by itself will result in a number. here, the number 16 comes when 4 is multiplied by 4. hence the square root of 16 is 4. you can always figure out a square root by the inverse operation of squaring.  

x< -17/2 hope this
