Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Two secants from an external point to a circle, then the product of one secant's external part and the entire secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire secant of the other, that is

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

(x - 2)(2x + 2) = 4(9) = 36 ← distribute and simplify the left side

2x² + 2x - 4x - 4 = 36

2x² - 2x - 4 = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

2x² - 2x - 40 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² - x - 20 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 5)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

But x > 0 ⇒ x = 5

Suppose you start at the origin, move along the x-axis a distance of 4 units in the positive direction, and then move downward a
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(4,0,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial position was (0,0,0) since it was the origin

Now, we have a movement of positive x at a distance of 4 units, with a distance of z a total of 7 units(negative since downward)

The current position is thus;

(4,0,-7)

Thus correlates to (x,y,z) and our y has remained zero as there is no movement along the y-axis
