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

A plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. Find the leng
finlep [7]

Answer: the length is 11 cm.

The width is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular plastic box.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular plastic box.

The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. This means that

LW = 77- - - - - - - ;- - - -1

The plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. This means that

L = W + 4

Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

(W + 4)W = 77

W² + 4W = 77

W² + 4W - 77 = 0

W² + 11W - 7W - 77 = 0

W(W + 11) - 7(W + 11) = 0

W - 7 = 0 or W + 11 = 0

W = 7 or W = - 11

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 7cm

L = 77/7 = 11 cm

What is the solution of the inequality x^3+3x^2&gt;7x+6
sveta [45]

Answer:

<u><em>x>2</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>x3+3x2=7x+6</em></u>

<u><em>x3+3x2−(7x+6)=7x+6−(7x+6)</em></u>

<u><em>x3+3x2−7x−6=0</em></u>

<u><em>(x−2)(x2+5x+3)=0</em></u>

<u><em>x−2=0 or x2+5x+3=0</em></u>

<u><em>x=2 or x=−0.6972243622680054 or x=−4.302775637731995</em></u>

<u><em>x<−4.302776</em></u>

<u><em>−4.302776<x<−0.697224</em></u>

<u><em>−0.697224<x<2</em></u>

<u><em>x>2(Works in original inequality)</em></u>

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

√2 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the hypotenus, h:

Using Pythagoras rule :

h² = opposite² + Adjacent²

Opposite = √2

Adjacent= x

h² = (√2)² + x²

Take the square root of both sides

h = √2 + x

Hence, the hypotenus is √2 + x
