Answer:

x = 13 units .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : A circle with tangent PQ , radius = 5 units , OQ = x .

To find : Find the value of x .

Solution : We have given circle with tangent PQ = 12, radius = 5 units , OQ = x .

The tangent (PQ) to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency ( P).

So, it formed the right triangle PQO.

Now use the Pythagorean Theorem :

(OQ)²  = ( PQ)² + (OP)².

Plug the values PQ = 12, OP =5 units , OQ = x .

(x)²  = ( 12)² + (5)².

(x)²  = 144 + 25 .

(x)²  = 169

By taking the square root .

x = 13 .

Therefore, x = 13 units .

Factor completely 2x3 + x2 - 18x - 9
melisa1 [442]
Factor the following:
2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9

Factor terms by grouping. 2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9 = (2 x^3 + x^2) + (-18 x - 9) = x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1)

Factor 2 x + 1 from x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 9)

x^2 - 9 = x^2 - 3^2:
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 3^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 3^2 = (x - 3) (x + 3):

Answer:  (x - 3) (x + 3) (2 x + 1) thus the Answer is C.

Which number is the greatest?<br> Select one:<br><br> 10/3<br><br> 7/2<br><br> 9/4<br><br> 17/8
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly lets put them all in common denominators (LCM) 3,2,4 and 8 re all divided by 24.

17/8 x 3/3 = 51/24

7/2 x 12/12 = 84/24

9/4 x 6/6=54/24

10/3 x 8/8= 80/24

Now lets see which one is greatest: 7/2 or 84/24

Hope this helps :D

Can anybody help me with this?<br> Algebra 1
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

7. f(x) = mx + b; b acts as the vertical shift moving the graph up if b is positive and down if b is negative.

f(x) = x-2 has shifted the graph of f(x) down 2 units.

g(x) = x + 7 has shifted the graph up 7 units.

If f(x) is changed to g(x) the vertical shift has gone from -2 to + 7 or (7-(-2) = 9 units up

8. f(x) = mx stretches the graph by a factor of m if m > 0 and compresses the graph by a factor of m if 0<m<1

f(x) = 3x stretches the graph by a factor of 3.

g(x) = 1/4x compresses the graph by a factor of 1/4
