Answer:

EB = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that we have a circle and two cords AB and CD inside that circle.

AB and CD intersect each other at point E.

Also the values of AE, CE and ED are as follows:

AE = 2 units

CE = 4 units

ED = 3 units

To find: EB = ?

Please refer to the figure attached for a clear picture of the given dimensions.

The relation between intersecting cords is given as:

If the two cords are intersecting and they are divided in parts a, b and c,d

Then

a $\times$ b = c $\times$ d

Here,

a = AE = 2 units

c = CE = 4 units

d = ED = 3 units

b = EB = ?

Putting the values in formula:

2 $\times$ EB = 3 $\times$ 4

$\Rightarrow EB = \dfrac{12}{2}\\\Rightarroe EB = 6\ units$

So, the answer is EB = 6 units

What is the equation of this line in standard form? 8x−7y=−25 8x−9y=23 8x−9y=−23 9x−8y=23 Number graph ranging from negative fiv

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The equation of line is:

$8x-9y=-23$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a graph is a that passes through two points:

$(-4,-1)$ and $(\dfrac{1}{2},3)$

We know that the equation of line passing through two points:

$(a,b)$ and $(c,d)$ is given by:

$y-b=\dfrac{d-b}{b-a}\times (x-a)$

Here we have:

$(a,b)=(-4,-1)$ and $(c,d)=(\dfrac{1}{2},3)$

Hence, the equation of line is:

$y-(-1)=\dfrac{3-(-1)}{\dfrac{1}{2}-(-4)}\times (x-(-4))\\\\y+1=\dfrac{3+1}{\dfrac{1}{2}+4}\times (x+4)\\\\y+1=\dfrac{4}{\dfrac{9}{2}}\times (x+4)\\\\y+1=\dfrac{4\times 2}{9}\times (x+4)\\\\y+1=\dfrac{8}{9}\times (x+4)\\\\9\times (y+1)=8\times (x+4)\\\\9y+9=8x+8\times 4\\\\9y+9=8x+32\\\\8x-9y=9-32\\\\8x-9y=-23$

Hence the equation of line is:

$8x-9y=-23$

Find the direction angle of 3i+1j. Please help me. Thank you

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Correct answer: ∝ = 18.43°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates represent one vector in x-y plane, let be v.

v = 3i +1j = xi + yj => x = 3 and y = 1

The angle that this vector builds with the positive direction to the x axis will be found using the tangent.

∝ = tan⁻¹ y/x = tan⁻¹ 1/3 = tan⁻¹ 0.333 = 18.43°

∝ = 18.43°

God is with you!!!
