<u>Given</u>:

The given circle with center at C. The lines AB and AD are tangents to the circle C.

The length of AB is (3x + 10)

The length of AD is (7x - 6)

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

Since, we know the property of tangent that, "if two tangents from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent".

We shall determine the value of x using the above property.

Thus, we have;

AB = AD

Substituting the values, we get;

3x+10=7x-6

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 7x, we get;

-4x+10=-6

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 10, we get;

-4x=-16

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4, we get;

x=4

Thus, the value of x is 4.

which of the following expressions is the definition of the derivative of f(x)=ln(x) at the point (5,ln5)
Doss [256]
The definition of the derivative is
\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h}
as h goes to 0. So since the f is ln(x)

\frac{ln(x+h)-ln(x)}{h}

Since it is evaluated at 5 (the point 5, ln5), it is

\frac{ln(5+h)-ln(5)}{h}
