tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants intersect a circle from a point outside the circle, then

The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is

x(x + 10 + x) = 6(6 + 10 + x)

x(2x + 10) = 6(16 + x) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

2x² + 10x = 96 + 6x ← subtract 96 + 6x from both sides

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ← in standard form

Divide through by 2

x² + 2x - 48 = 0 ← factor the left side

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 6 → C

Gunther invested $10,000 in two mutual funds. One of the funds rose 6% in one year and the other rose 9% in one year. If his inv
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$7200 in the fund rose 6% n $2800 in the fund rose 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the amount in the fund rose 6%

gain in one year=x*6%=0.06x

total amount is 10000

so amount in the fund rose 9% = 10000-x

gain in one year=(10000-x)*9%=900-0.09x

total gain=0.06x+900-0.09x=900-0.03x

=684

900-684=0.03x

0.03x=216

x=7200

the other fund amount=10000-7200=2800
