Answer:
<u>Secant</u>: a straight line that intersects a circle at two points.
<u>Intersecting Secants Theorem</u>
If two secant segments are drawn to the circle from one exterior point, the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external part is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external part.
From inspection of the given diagram:
- M = Exterior point
- MK = secant segment and ML is its external part
- MS = secant segment and MN is its external part
Therefore:
⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS
Given:
- MK = (x + 15) + 6 = x + 21
- ML = 6
- MS = 7 + 11 = 18
- MN = 7
Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for x:
⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS
⇒ 6(x + 21) = 7 · 18
⇒ 6x + 126 = 126
⇒ 6x = 0
⇒ x = 0
Substituting the found value of x into the expression for KL:
⇒ KL = x + 15
⇒ KL = 0 + 15
⇒ KL = 15
Answer:
a = - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial divided by factor (x - h) has a remainder given by f(h)
Here the divisor is (x - 2), thus f(2) gives the remainder, that is
2³ + 2(2)² - 7(2) + a = 4 ← 4 being the remainder
8 + 8 - 14 + a = 4, that is
12 + a = 4 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
a = - 8
Answer: B. 12=9+3x
Step-by-step explanation:
A. It is an equation, but you can’t really do anything with it, let alone solve it.
C. 30+6 does not equal to 62, so definitely not.
D. 3x-4y is something, but there is no equa sign.
So, your andswer is B. 12=9+3x
-2(-1)(6)
2(6)
12
The answer is C, 12.
The expression 3r - 6 can be written as 3(r-2), because when you distribute 3(r-2) you get 3r -6. So they are equivalent.
