Answer:

5268

Step-by-step explanation:

length of tangents from a point to the circle are equal.

XY=XZ

91b-283=85b+83

91b-85b=83+283

6b=366

b=366/6=61

XZ=91b-283

=91×61-283

=5551-283

=5268

Answer:

D. 5267

Step-by-step explanation:

In the triangle XY and XZ are tangent to circle C. This means that the length has of XY and XZ are congruent.

So first you have to set the equations to each other to find what b equals to.

85b+83=91b-283

Add 283 to both sides

85b+366=91b

Subtract 85b on both sides

366=6b

Divide by 6

B=61.

Then you substitute 61 as b in the equation for XY.

85b+83

85(61)+83

5185+83

the assumption being that "x" is a plain variable whilst "y" is a function, that matters because the chain rule would be needed for a function, not so for a plain variable.

$4x^2+4x+xy=5\implies 8x+4+\stackrel{\textit{product rule}}{\left( 1\cdot y+x\cdot \cfrac{dy}{dx} \right)}=0 \\\\\\ x\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-8x-4-y\implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{-8x-4-y}{x}$

now, we know that y(5) = -23, which is another way of saying that when x = 5, y = -23, but we already knew that, we can get that by simply plugging it into the equation hmmm y'(5), well

$\left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{-8x-4-y}{x} \right|_{\stackrel{x=5~}{\textit{\tiny y=-23}}}\implies \cfrac{-8(5)-4-(-23)}{5}\implies \cfrac{-21}{5}$
