Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Two secants drawn to a circle from a common external point, then
The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is
5(5 + x) = 4(4 + 10) = 4 × 14 = 56
25 + 5x = 56 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
5x = 31 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 6.2 → C
Answer:
6. E
7. D
8. 5,-8,34
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Parallel to the y-axis and passes through the point (3,5)
For it to be parallel to the y-axis, what this means is that it has an x-intercept and no y intercept.
So what this means is that x = 3 is our line so E is correct
B. Perpendicular to the y-axis means it is parallel to the x-axis
It means is has no x intercept and thus its x value at any point in time is zero
So the equation is y = -5
or simply y + 5 = 0 which means D is correct
C. It is parallel to the line 5x -8y + 12 = 0
Thus: 8y = 5x + 12
dividing both sides by 8
y = 5x/8 + 12/8
y = 5x/8 + 3/2
y = 5x/8 + 1.5
Comparing this with the general equation of a straight line ;
y = mx + c
where m is that slope, this means that 5/8 is the slope of the line
Mathematically if two lines are parallel, they have equal slopes.
So we can say the slope of the other line too is 5/8
Now to find the equation of the other line, we can use the point-slope method
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
where (x1,y1) in this case is (-2,3)
So we have;
y-3 = m(x-(-2))
y-3 = 5/8 (x + 2)
8(y-3) = 5(x + 2)
8y -24 = 5x + 10
5x + 10 + 24 -8y = 0
5x -8y + 34 = 0
So A, B, C = 5, -8, 34
Answer:
6 ≤ x < ∞
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of x cannot be less than 6 because that would make the term in the square root part negative. There is no real square root of a negative vale.
