What is x? Help please

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: x=\frac{8}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Intersecting secants theorem, we know that:

EC*ED=EB*EA

Then, substituting, we get:

(x+4)(x+4+1)=(x+1)(x+1+11)\\\\(x+4)(x+5)=(x+1)(x+12)

Now we need to expand the expression:

x^2+5x+4x+20=x^2+12x+x+12

Simplifying, we get that the value  of "x" is:

x^2+9x+20=x^2+12x+12\\\\9x+20=12x+12\\\\20-12=12x-9x\\\\8=3x\\\\x=\frac{8}{3}

Find the focus and directrix of the parabola with the equation x² = -22y.
Bad White [126]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  focus: (0, -5.5)

  directrix: y = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation compares to the form ...

  x² = 4py

where 4p = -22   ⇒   p = -22/4 = -5.5.

The value of p is the distance from the vertex to the focus. The negative value means the focus is below the vertex at (0, -5.5).

The directrix is above the vertex by the same amount, so is y = 5.5.
