Find the measure of the line segment GE. Assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent.

Answer:

The measure of the line segment GE is $18\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>The Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem</u> , states that the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment

so

In this problem

$GE*GF=GH^{2}$

substitute the values

$(8+x)(8)=12^{2}$

solve for x

$8x+64=144$

$8x=144-64$

$8x=80$

$x=10$

Find the measure of the line segment GE

$GE=8+10=18\ units$

For question 25 please pick 1,2,3 or 4

Answer:

4.

$x=\frac{2}{3} \pm \frac{1}{6}i \sqrt{158}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$18x^2-24x+87=0$

Using Quadratic Formula

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-\left(-24\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-24\right)^2-4\cdot \:18\cdot \:87}}{2\cdot \:18}$

Solving the discriminant:

$\Delta = \left(-24\right)^2-4\cdot \:18\cdot \:87\\\Delta = 576-6264\\ \Delta=-5688$

$x= \frac{24 \pm \sqrt{-5688} }{36}$

$x= \frac{24 \pm \sqrt{5688i} }{36}$

Once $\sqrt{5688} =\sqrt{2^3\cdot \:3^2\cdot \:79}=6\sqrt{158}$

$x=\frac{24\pm6\sqrt{158}i}{36}$

Dividing the denominator and numerator by 6

$x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{158}i}{6}$

Now rewrite it:

$x=\frac{4}{6} \pm i\frac{\sqrt{158}}{6}$

$x=\frac{2}{3} \pm i \frac{\sqrt{158}}{6}$

or

$x=\frac{2}{3} \pm \frac{1}{6}i \sqrt{158}$

a number cube numbered 1-6 is rolled 30 times and lands on an even number 18 times. How does this frequency compare to the expec

Korolek [52]

Answer:

The frequency is 3 more than expected

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 favourable outcomes: {2, 4, 6}

There are 6 possible outcomes: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

probability of the number cube landing on an even number = favourable outcomes / possible outcomes = 3/6 = 1/2

If the cube is rolled 30 times, it is expected that in 1/2*30 = 15 times landed on an even number. The frequency: 18 is 3 more than expected
