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

A triangle has sides of lengths 12, 14, and 19. Is it a right triangle? Explain.
Molodets [167]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2 
<span>C should equal to the longer side, which would be 19. </span>
<span>Plug in other two numbers for A and B. </span>
<span>12^2 + 14^2 = 19^2 </span>
<span>Now see if it's correct. If it is, then it's a right triangle, if it's not then it isn't a right triangle. </span>
<span>144 + 196 = 361 </span>
<span>340 = 361 </span>
<span>It's not a right triangle.</span>

What’s the answer to this question?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

y=1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line goes up by 1 over by 2 each time or 1/2. (Rise over run)

This can be proven by substituting X and Y for a point on the graph.

y=5, x=10

5=1/2(10)

5=5

Select the choice that translates the following verbal phrase correctly to algebra: y less than 21
8_murik_8 [283]
Y less than 21 = 21 - y

Remember, "less than" indicates a subtraction with the terms in inverted order.

Hope I helped!
