The intersecting chords theorem states that whenever two chords intersect, the product of their pieces is constant.

So, in this case, we have

\overline{RW}\cdot\overline{WP}=\overline{SW}\cdot\overline{WQ}

Plugging your values, we have

8\cdot 9 = 6x \cdot 12x \iff 72=72x^2 \iff x^2=1

This equation has solutions x=\pm 1, but we can't choose x=-1, because it would lead to

\overline{SW}=-6,\quad\overline{WQ}=-12

So, the only feasible solutions is x=1

Y=6x+5 is the equation. what is its gradient
Irina18 [472]
Gradient is synonymous to slope.

y = 6x + 5 is an example of a slope-intercept form of a straight-line equationl.

The slope-intercept equation is like this:

y = mx + b

where : m = slope ; b = "y-intercept"

y = 6x + 5

6 is the slope
5 is the y-intercept.

Since slope and gradient are synonymous, 6 is the gradient of the above equation.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used. Match each quadratic equation with its so
Anon25 [30]

The quadratic equations and their solutions are;

9 ± √33 /4 = 2x² - 9x + 6.

4 ± √6 /2 = 2x² - 8x + 5.

9 ± √89 /4 = 2x² - 9x - 1.

4 ± √22 /2 = 2x² - 8x - 3.

Explanation:

  • Any quadratic equation of the form, ax² + bx + c = 0 can be solved using the formula x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a. Here a, b, and c are the coefficients of the x², x, and the numeric term respectively.
  • We have to solve all of the five equations to be able to match the equations with their solutions.
  • 2x² - 8x + 5, here a = 2, b = -8, c = 5.                                                  x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(5) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 - 40/4.     24 can also be written as 4 × 6 and √4 = 2. So                                                                                     x = 8 ± 2√6 / 2×2= 4±√6/2.
  • 2x² - 10x + 3, here a = 2, b = -10, c = 3.                                                   x =-b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a =-(-10) ± √(-10)² - 4(2)(3) / 2(4) = 10 ± √100 + 24/4. 124 can also be written as 4 × 31 and √4 = 2. So                                                                              x = 10 ± 2√31 / 2×2 = 5 ± √31 /2.
  • 2x² - 8x - 3, here a = 2, b = -8, c = -3.                                                    x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(-3) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 + 24/4.     88 can also be written as 4 × 22 and √4 = 2. So                                                                             x = 8 ± 2√22 / 2×2 = 4± √22/2.
  • 2x² - 9x - 1, here a = 2, b = -9, c = -1.                                                     x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(-1) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 + 8/4.                                          x = 9 ± √89 / 4.
  • 2x² - 9x + 6, here a = 2, b = -9, c = 6.                                                    x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(6) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 - 48/4.                                                                             x = 9 ± √33 / 4 .
