To find the solutions to the system, we need to find exactly when one expression is equal to the other. We can do this by setting both of the right sides equal to each other, so that


(x-5)(x+6)=x+6


Subtracting x+6 from either side, we find


(x-5)(x+6)-(x+6)=0


factoring out an x+6:


(x+6)(x-5-1)=(x+6)(x-6)=0


x=\pm6


The x-coordinates of our solutions will therefore be 6 and -6. Since the question only asks for the <em>x-coordinate</em> of the midpoint, we simply need to find the number exactly halfway between 6 and -6, which is 0.

\bf \begin{cases}y=(x-5)(x+6)\\y=x+6\end{cases}\qquad \stackrel{y}{(x-5)(x+6)}=\stackrel{y}{x+6}\\\\\\\stackrel{FOIL}{x^2+x-30}=x+6\implies x^2-36=0\implies x^2=36\\\\\\x=\pm\sqrt{36}\implies \boxed{x=\pm 6}\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{substituting that \underline{x} in the second equation}}{y=\pm 6 + 6}\implies y=\begin{cases}12\\0\end{cases}\\\\\\\stackrel{solutions}{(6,12)\qquad \qquad (-6,0)}


now, let's find the midpoint of those two solutions


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{12})\qquad  (\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 +  x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 +  y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{-6+6}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{0+12}{2}  \right)\implies (\stackrel{x}{0}~,~6)

In the accompanying diagram, PA is tangent to the circle at A and PC is a secant. If
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

c. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

PA² = (BC + PB) × PB => tangent-secant theorem

PA = 8

PB = 4

BC = ?

Substitute

8² = (BC + 4) × 4

64 = 4BC + 16

64 - 16 = 4BC + 16 - 16

48 = 4BC

48/4 = 4BC/4

12 = BC

BC = 12
