By the <span>tangent-secant theorem:

x</span>² = 5(5+12) = 5 * 17 = 85
x = √85 ≈ 9.2

Answer:

9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a figure in which a tangent and a secant to the circle.

We have to find the value of x.

Length of tangent segment=x

Length of secant segment=12 +5=17 units

Length of external segment=5 units

We know that secant-tangent theorem

It states that product of length of secant segment and its external segment is equal to square of length of tangent segment.

$x^2=17\times 5=85$

$x=\sqrt{85}=9.2 units$

Hence, the value of x=9.2

What is the solution to the system of equations y = -x - 5 and y = 2x + 4

Delvig [45]

Answer:

(-3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x - 5

y = 2x + 4

plug in one of the y equations

(2x+4)= -x - 5

2x+4=-x-5

3x=-9

x= -3

plug in x to one of the y equations

y= -(-3) -5

y=3-5

y= -2

x= -3, y= -2

Evaluate the line integral, where C is the given curve. (x + 6y) dx + x2 dy, C C consists of line segments from (0, 0) to (6, 1)

Dima020 [189]

Split $C$ into two component segments, $C_1$ and $C_2$ , parameterized by

$\mathbf r_1(t)=(1-t)(0,0)+t(6,1)=(6t,t)$

$\mathbf r_2(t)=(1-t)(6,1)+t(7,0)=(6+t,1-t)$

respectively, with $0\le t\le1$ , where $\mathbf r_i(t)=(x(t),y(t))$ .

We have

$\mathrm d\mathbf r_1=(6,1)\,\mathrm dt$

$\mathrm d\mathbf r_2=(1,-1)\,\mathrm dt$

where $\mathrm d\mathbf r_i=\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt},\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)\,\mathrm dt$

so the line integral becomes

$\displaystyle\int_C(x+6y)\,\mathrm dx+x^2\,\mathrm dy=\left\{\int_{C_1}+\int_{C_2}\right\}(x+6y,x^2)\cdot(\mathrm dx,\mathrm dy)$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(6t+6t,(6t)^2)\cdot(6,1)\,\mathrm dt+\int_0^1((6+t)+6(1-t),(6+t)^2)\cdot(1,-1)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(35t^2+55t-24)\,\mathrm dt=\frac{91}6$
