The point which lies on x-axis at a distance of 4 units in the negative direction of x-axis is
  • a)
    (4, 0)
  • b)
    (-4, 0)
  • c)
    (0, 4)
  • d)
    (0, -4)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Zachary Foster answered
To understand this, let's break down the information given:
  1. x-axis: The x-axis is the horizontal line in the coordinate plane. Any point on the x-axis will have a y-coordinate of 0 because it does not move up or down from the axis.
  2. Distance of 4 units in the negative direction of x-axis:
    • The x-axis has a positive direction (towards the right) and a negative direction (towards the left).
    • Moving 4 units in the negative direction means moving 4 units to the left from the origin (0,0).
  3. Coordinates:
    • When you move 4 units to the left on the x-axis, the x-coordinate becomes -4, and since the point is on the x-axis, the y-coordinate remains 0.
Therefore, the point that lies on the x-axis 4 units in the negative direction is (−4,0)(-4, 0)(−4,0).
This corresponds to option (b) (-4, 0).

Assertion (A): The Western Ghats are higher in elevation compared to the Eastern Ghats.
Reason (R): The Western Ghats receive orographic rain as moist winds rise along their western slopes.
  • a)
    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  • b)
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  • c)
    If Assertion is true but Reason is false
  • d)
    If both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Let's Tute answered
 
  • Assertion (A) Evaluation: The statement that the Western Ghats are higher in elevation compared to the Eastern Ghats is true. The Western Ghats have an average elevation ranging from 900 to 1600 meters, whereas the Eastern Ghats have an average elevation of about 600 meters. This elevation difference is a geographical fact.
  • Reason (R) Evaluation: The reason provided is accurate. The Western Ghats do receive orographic rain as moist winds rise along their western slopes, which leads to significant rainfall in this region. This phenomenon is responsible for the lush greenery and biodiversity found in the Western Ghats.
  • Explanation of Answer: Both the Assertion and the Reason are factually correct. However, the Reason is not the direct or sole explanation of the Assertion. While the elevation difference is a contributing factor to the Western Ghats being higher, the primary reason for their elevated status is not solely due to orographic rain.

According to the question, we have a quadrilateral ABCD whose all vertices are lying on the circumference of the circle. The measure of the angles ∠B and ∠D is given.
The measure of ∠B = 81 + x ………………………………(1)
The measure of ∠D=89 …………………………………(2)
Since a cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose all vertices lie on the circumference of the circle and the quadrilateral ABCD has its all vertices on the circumference of the circle so, the quadrilateral ABCD is cyclic.
In the given cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, we have ∠B and ∠D opposite to each other.
We know the property of a cyclic quadrilateral that the opposite angles are supplementary. In other words, the summation of the opposite angles is equal to 180

X-1/x=4 , then find x^2-1/x^2=?

Kajal Basak answered  •  Aug 30, 2023
Given information:
The equation is X-1/x=4.

To find:
We need to find the value of x^2-1/x^2.

Step 1: Simplify the equation:
To simplify the equation, we need to eliminate the fraction. Multiplying both sides of the equation by x will help us achieve this.

x * (X-1/x) = 4 * x

Simplifying further:

X^2 - 1 = 4x
