B.) Marua will spend 2 hours to read 100 pages of sociology which means she can only read 60 pages of economics.
Therefore, the opportunity cost of reading 100 pages of sociology is forfeiting 40 pages (2 hours) of economics.

What is the power of x? <br> A) 2 <br> B) 3 <br> C) 6 <br> D) 7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

They are basically wanting the value of x.

These are 2 secant lines drawn. Secant Line is a line that intersects the circle at 2 points.

To solve this, we have to use secant-secant theorem.

Secant-Secant Power Theorem tells us that if 2 secant lines are drawn from external point (here, E) to a circle, then, product of measure of one secant's external part and total secant is equal to other secants external part and whole secant.

In algebra, that is:

$(x+1)(x+1+11)=(x+4)(x+4+1)$

Let's multiply and find the value of x:

$(x+1)(x+1+11)=(x+4)(x+4+1)\\(x+1)(x+12)=(x+4)(x+5)\\x^2 + 13x + 12=x^2+9x+20\\13x+12=9x+20\\13x - 9x = 20 - 12\\4x = 8\\x = 2$

Hence, the correct answer choice is A
