2.) FIND EF.

Mathematics

The measure of EF from the given diagram is 6 units

<h3>Secant secant theorem</h3>

The theorem states that if two secants are drawn from an external point to a circle, then the product of the measures of one secant's external parts is the same as the product of the other external part.

Mathematically according to the given figure;

4(4+2x) = 5(5+x)

Expand

16 + 8x = 25 + 5x

Collect the like terms

8x - 5x = 25 - 16

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3=. 9/3

x = 3

Find EF

EF = 2x

EF = 2(3) = 6

Hence the measure of EF from the given diagram is 6 units

Answer:

2a)  -2

b) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a parabola in vertex form</u>

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h

2 a)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is 6, then

                 f(6) = 0

⇒ a(6 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         16a - 6 = 0

⇒              16a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/16 = 3/8

So f(x) = 3/8(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒      3/8(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 16

⇒              x - 2 = ±4

⇒                   x = 6,  -2

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is -2

b)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is -4, then

                 f(-4) = 0

⇒ a(-4 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         36a - 6 = 0

⇒              36a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/36 = 1/6

So f(x) = 1/6(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒  1/6(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒       1/6(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 36

⇒              x - 2 = ±6

⇒                   x = 8,  -4

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is 8

How many cups are in a gallon
Digiron [165]
1 cup: 8 oz
1 pint: 2 cups
2 pints: 1 quart
4 quarts: 1 gallon
by looking at this scale you will multiply the needed #s:
2 times 2 = 4    4 times 4 = 16 so there are 16 cups in a gallon
