Answer:

x = - 6, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x = 24 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

x² + 2x - 24 = 0

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 6 and - 4, since

6 × - 4 = - 24 and 6 - 4 = + 2, hence

(x + 6)(x - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Look at the circle you created that has point C (the midpoint of AB) as its center and passes through point A. What can you say
Mice21 [21]

The inscribed angle on the circumference of the circle subtended by the diameter at the center is a right angle

What can be said about segment AB is; Segment AB is the diameter of circle with midpoint at C

What can be said about angle BDA is; Angle BDA is an inscribed angle of the circle with midpoint at C, subtended by the diameter AB at the center

The measure of angle BDA is 90°

What can be said about angle BEA is; Angle BEA is an inscribed angle of the circle with midpoint at C, subtended by the diameter AB at the center

The measure of angle BEA is 90°

The given diagram shows;

Circle with midpoint <em>C</em>, along AB, and radius AC

The diameter of circle C = AB

Circle with midpoint <em>A</em>, intersecting with circle <em>C</em> at points <em>D</em> and <em>E</em>

Tangents from point B on circle, <em>C</em>, intersect with circle <em>A</em> at points <em>D</em> and <em>E</em>

<em> </em>

Required parameters;

  • What can be said about AB

The segment AB is a line that intersects the circle <em>C</em> at two points and also passes through the the point <em>C</em> which is the center of the circle <em>C</em>

Therefore, the segment AB is the diameter of the circle with center at <em>C</em>

  • What can be said about angle BDA

The angle BDA is the inscribed angle of circle <em>C</em> subtended by the points <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> which specifies the diameter of the circle with midpoint <em>C</em>

Therefore, the angle BDA is subtended by the diameter of the circle at the center

According to circle theorem, we have;

Angle subtended at the center = 2 × The angle subtended at the circumference

The angle subtended at the center by the diameter AB = 180° (Angle on a straight line)

Therefore;

The angle subtended at the center = 180° = 2 × Angle BDA

Angle BDA = 180°/2 = 90°

Angle BDA  = 90°

  • What can be said about angle BEA

Similarly, we have;

The angle subtended at the center = 180° = 2 × Angle BEA

Angle BEA = 180°/2 = 90°

Angle BEA = 90°

A point lies in quadrant 2. If it is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise, which quadrant will the point come to rest?
NeTakaya
A point (a, b) in the second Quadrant, is any point where a is negative and b is positive.

For example (-3, 5), (-189, 14) etc are all points in the 2.Quadrant

Rotating a point P(x, y) in the second Quadrant 180° counterclockwise, means rotating 180° counterclockwise about the origin, which maps point P to P'(-a, -b) in the fourth Quadrant.
