Geometry . inscribing circle and constructing lines.

To inscribe a circle in the attached triangle, we must follow the following steps. The resultant figure is the first one below.

1. Draw the angle bisector of angle JKL. The straight line in the green one.

2. Draw the angle bisector of angle KLJ. The straight line in the blue one.

3. Draw point D at these two lines.

4. Draw a line through point D perpendicular to side JK. The straight line in the red one.

5. Mark point G at the red line and side JK.

6. Draw a circle with center at D (point of concurrency) and a radius of DG.

To circumscribe a circle in the attached triangle, we must follow the following steps:

1. Draw the perpendicular bisector of the side FG. The straight line in the red one. The resultant figure is the second one below.

2. Draw the perpendicular bisector of the side GH. The straight line in the blue one.

3. The center of the circle is the intersection of these two lines

4. Draw a circle with center at D (point of concurrency).

A tangent to a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at an only point. If a point A is outside a circle, we can draw two lines that pass through this point and are tangent to the circle at two different points each. So this is shown in the third figure. Lines red and blue are tangent to the circle at two different points.

answer: a clock

step-by-step explanation:

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.
