Answer:

  D.  2x > 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

This question illustrates some of the difficulties you can run into with inequalities.

Consider each of the expressions when x = 1 and y = -2. We know that

  x > y

  1 > -2

__

A. x^2 = 1, y^2 = 4 . . . . x^2 > y^2 is not true

B. -x = -1, -y = 2 . . . . -x > -y is not true

C. 1/x = 1/1 = 1, 1/y = 1/-2 = -1/2 . . . . 1/x > 1/y is true

  Now consider x=2, y=1. x > y because 2 > 1, but ...

  1/x = 1/2, 1/y = 1 . . . . 1/x > 1/y is not true

D. We know that multiplying the numbers by 2 only stretches them apart on the number line. It does not change their order. For our example, ...

  2x = 2, 2y = -4 . . . . 2 > -4 is true

What is the length of DE?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

If two chords intersect in a circle, the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equal the product of the segments of the other.

AC *CB = CD CE

4 * (10-4) = CD * 8

4 * 6 = 8 *CD

24 = 8 CD

Divide each side by 8

24/8 = CD

3 = CD

We want the length DE

DE = CD + CE

     = 3 + 8

DE = 11
