Given: EL- tangent, EK- secant Prove: EJ·LK = EL·LJ

1 answer:

drek231 [11]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

This is possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that m<E=m<E, because of the Reflexive Property

Then, we have angles JKL and ELJ, which are equal through the peripheral angle theorem.

With these two angles, we can say that triangles ELK and EJL are similar, by the Angle-Angle Postulate (AA).

Then we can create this ratio through the Corresponding Parts of Similar Triangles Theorem, (CPST), $\frac{LK}{LJ} =\frac{EL}{EJ}$ .

With this ratio, we can cross multiply to get the desired result

$EJ$ · $LK=EL$ · $LJ$

Hope this helps with your RSM problem

Yup, i caught ya.

2x^3-x^2-3x=210<br> the answer is 5 but I want to know why.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$x=5,\frac{-9+\sqrt{255}i }{4} ,\frac{-9-\sqrt{255}i }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Move all terms to one side.

$2x^{3} -x^{2} -3x-210=0$

2) Factor $2{x}^{3}-{x}^{2}-3x-210$ using Polynomial Division.

1 - Factor the following.

$2x^{3} -x^{2} -3x-210$

2 - First, find all factors of the constant term 210.

$1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,14,15,21,30,35,42,70,105,210$

3) Try each factor above using the Remainder Theorem.

Substitute 1 into x. Since the result is not 0, x-1 is not a factor..

$2*1^{3} -1^{2} -3*1-210=-212$

Substitute -1 into x. Since the result is not 0, x+1 is not a factor..

$2(-1)^{3} -(-1)^{2} -3*-1-210=-210$

Substitute 2 into x. Since the result is not 0, x-2 is not a factor..

$2*2^{3} -2^{2} -3*2-210=-204$

Substitute -2 into x. Since the result is not 0, x+2 is not a factor..

$2{(-2)}^{3}-{(-2)}^{2}-3\times -2-210 = -224$

Substitute 3 into x. Since the result is not 0, x-3 is not a factor..

$2\times {3}^{3}-{3}^{2}-3\times 3-210 = -174$

Substitute -3 into x. Since the result is not 0, x+3 is not a factor..

$2{(-3)}^{3}-{(-3)}^{2}-3\times -3-210 = -264$

Substitute 5 into x. Since the result is 0, x-5 is a factor..

$2\times {5}^{3}-{5}^{2}-3\times 5-210 =0$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⇒ $x-5$

4) Polynomial Division: Divide $2{x}^{3}-{x}^{2}-3x-210$ by $x-5$ .

$2x^{2}$ $9x$ $42$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

$x-5$ | $2x^{3}$ $-x^{2}$ $-3x$ $-210$

$2x^{3}$ $-10x^{2}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

$9x^{2}$ $-3x$ $-210$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

$42x$ $-210$

$42x$ $-210$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) Rewrite the expression using the above.

$2x^2+9x+42$

$(2x^2+9x+42)(x-5)=0$

3) Solve for $x.$

$x=5$

4) Use the Quadratic Formula.

1 - In general, given $a{x}^{2}+bx+c=0$ , there exists two solutions where:

$x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} ,\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

2 - In this case, $a=2,b=9$ and $c = 42.$

$x=\frac{-9+\sqrt{9^2*-4*2*42} }{2*2} ,\frac{-9-\sqrt{9^2-4*2*42} }{2*2}$

3 - Simplify.

$x=\frac{-9+\sqrt{255}i }{4} ,\frac{-9-\sqrt{255}i }{4}$

5) Collect all solutions from the previous steps.

$x=5,\frac{-9+\sqrt{255}i }{4} ,\frac{-9-\sqrt{255}i }{4}$

A survey showed that 35% of the students prefer plain white milk over chocolate milk. If the school has 1200 students. How many

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The number of students who prefer chocolate milk is 780 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of students in the school = 1200

The percentage of students who prefer plain white milk = 35 %

Let the number of students who prefer chocolate milk = x

Now, ∵ The percentage of students who prefer plain white milk = 35 %

∴ The percentage of students who prefer chocolate milk = 100 % - 35 % = 65%

So , As The number of students who prefer chocolate milk = x

Or, 65 % of total number of students in school = x

So, x = $\frac{65}{100}$ × 1200

or, x = $\frac{65\times 1200 }{100}$

∴ x = 780

So, the number of students who prefer chocolate milk = x = 780

And students who prefer plain white milk = 1200 - x = 1200 - 780 = 420

Hence, The number of students who prefer chocolate milk is 780 . Answer
