Answer:  The correct option is (B) 3.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given a circle X with radius 5 units and chord AB with length 8 units.

We are to find the length of segment XC that bisects chord.

We know that the line segment drawn from the center of a circle to the midpoint of a chord is perpendicular to the chord.

So, in the given circle X, the segment XC is perpendicular to chord AB. Then, triangle  XCB will be a right angled triangle with hypotenuse XB.

Since XC bisects AB, so the length of BC will be

BC=\dfrac{AB}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}=4~\textup{units}.

And, radius, XB = 5 units.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle XCB, we have

XB^2=XC^2+BC^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC^2=XB^2-BC^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC^@=5^2-4^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC^2=9\\\\\Rightarrow XC^2=3^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC=3.

Thus, the length of the segment XC is 3 units.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Find the real solutions of the equati<br> √7x+1 - √x-5 = 6
Juliette [100K]

The solution of this equation is x = 5 and   x = 9.

<h3>What is the solution?</h3>

Let us recall that what we have here is a radical equation as follows;

√7x+1 - √x-5 = 6

When we isolate we have';

 √7x+1 = √x-5+6

Taking the square of both sides;

  (√7x+1)^2 = (√x-5+6)^2

Hence;

    7x+1 = x-5+36+12√x-5

-12√x-5 = -7x-1+x-5+36

12√x-5 = 6x-30

Raising this equation to power 2

144x-720 = 36x^2-360x+900

When we rearrange we obtain;

36x2  - 504x  + 1620 = 0

Hence;

x = 5 and   x = 9
