Using the Pythagorean Theorem, it is found that the base of the pole should be set 10 feet from the end of the wire.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs l_1 and l_2 of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:

h^2 = l_1^2 + l_2^2

In this problem, the distance is l_2, while the other measures are l_1 = 24, h = 26, hence:

24^2 + l_2^2 = 26^2

l_2 = \sqrt{26^2 - 24^2}

l_2 = 10

The base of the pole should be set 10 feet from the end of the wire.

Solve each of the following quadratic equations<br><br> 3x=0.5x^2<br><br><br> 0=5x^2-2x+6
UNO [17]

<u>Question 1</u>

<u />3x=0.5x^{2}\\\\6x=x^{2} \\ \\ x^{2}-6x=0 \\ \\ x(x-6)=0 \\ \\ \boxed{x=0, 6}

<u>Question 2</u>

<u />0=5x^{2}-2x+6 \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(5)(6)}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{-116}}{10} \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm 2i\sqrt{29}}{10} \\ \\ \boxed{x=\frac{1 \pm i\sqrt{29}}{5}}

What is the value of x if AP and BP are tangent segments <br> AP = 10x - 15 and BP = 7x + 3
worty [1.4K]
If AP and BP are tangent segments connected outside of the circle at point "P" then <span>AP = BP so,
10x - 15 = 7x + 3</span>
3x = 18
x = 6
