By the Intersecting Secants Theorem we have
2x(2x+7)=x(x+23)
4x^2+14x=x^2+23x
3x^2=9x
3x=9
x=3
Since DY is length 2x,
the length of DY is 6.

If F(X)= 6X-4 and F(A)= 26 what is the value of a? Explain

sammy [17]

Easy if you know the formula

all this means is that your x value is a, and when it is, will give you the value 26.

f(a) = 6a - 4 = 26

6a = 30
a = 5

What is the simplified form of x+2/x^2-3x-10 * x-3/x^2+x-12

Vinvika [58]

I mean based on your possible answers, the third one is correct,but you can go further that that, in the steps i will note when you've came to the "answer"

$\frac{x + 2}{ {x}^{2} - 3x - 10 } \times \frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} + x - 12 }$
$\frac{x + 2}{ {x}^{2} + 2x - 5x - 10 } \times \frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 3x - 12 }$
$\frac{x + 2}{x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2)} \times \frac{x - 3}{x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4)}$
$\frac{x + 2}{(x + 2) \times (x - 5)} \times \frac{x - 3}{(x + 4) \times (x - 3)}$
$\frac{1}{(x + 4) \times (x + 5)}$
and basically that's the "answer", but you can simplify more.

$\frac{1}{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 5x - 20}$
$\frac{1}{ {x}^{2} - x - 20 }$
Hope that's helpful

4 books for 1$12.00 3 books for $9.00 What is the price per book? What is the constant of proportionality

Valentin [98]

Answer:

the price per book is $3 the constant of proportionality is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

12 divided by 4 is 3 and 9 divided by 3 is 3 so it means that the price for 1 book is going to be 3 and for every book you buy the original value will be 3.
