PQ¯¯¯¯¯ and PR¯¯¯¯¯ are tangent to ⊙ S. Identify PQ. pls help 30 points

Mathematics
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Because line PQ and line PR are both tangent to circle S, it would result in them being equal. So first to find PQ, you would have to find the value of variable x. To do this you would set both equations equal to each other and solve

6x - 9 = 2x + 3

-2x       -2x

4x - 9 = 3

    +9   +9

4x = 12

x = 3

Now you have to substitute 3 back into the equation for PQ:

6(3) - 9

18 - 9

= 9

Resulting in PQ = 9, to check your answer, take the value of x (3) and substitute it into PR and you should also get 9

2(3) + 3

6 + 3

= 9

Find the value of 7v-6 given that -8v-9=7 Simplify your answer as much as possible 7v-6=
evablogger [386]

Answer:

-20

Step-by-step explanation:

-8v-9=7

Add 9 to each side

-8v-9+9=7+9

-8v = 16

Divide by -8

-8v /-8 = 16/-8

v = -2

Now find

7v -6

7(-2) -6

-14 -6

-20

Bad gums may mean a bad heart. Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal diseas
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Periodontal disease

Event B: Heart attack

Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal disease, an inflammation of the gums.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.82

Only 33% of healthy people have this disease.

This means that P(A) = 0.33

Suppose that in a certain community heart attacks are quite rare, occurring with only 15% probability.

This means that P(B) = 0.15

If someone has periodontal disease, what is the probability that he or she will have a heart attack

P(B|A) = \frac{0.15*0.82}{0.33} = 0.3727

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.

Solve the following equation <br><br> 1/x-1+1/x+2=3
disa [49]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

-1 + 2 + 1/x + 1/x = 3

-1 + 2 + 1/x + 1/x = 1 + 2/x:

1 + 2/x = 3

Bring 1 + 2/x together using the common denominator x:

(x + 2)/x = 3

Multiply both sides by x:

x + 2 = 3 x

Subtract 3 x + 2 from both sides:

-2 x = -2

Divide both sides by -2:

Answer:  x = 1
