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

For what value of x is the rational expression below undefined?
vivado [14]
The expression is undefined when C, x = 9.

The way that this expression can be undefined is if the denominator is 0 (dividing by 0 is undefined). To make the denominator 0, that means that 9 - x =0. That means that x = 9. So, when x = 9, the denominator is zero, meaning that the expression is undefined when C, x = 9.

Solve the system using substitution.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Option B that is (2,6) is correct

Explanation:

We have been given with system of equations

X+Y=8 and Y=3X

Here, we will substitute the value of Y=3X in X+Y=8

We will get X+3X=8

Further simplification we will get to 4X=8

Hence, the value of X=2

And now, substituting the value X=2 in Y=3X we will get Y=6.

Therefore, option B is correct.
