Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Chords within a circle are proportional. Proportional means that they form equal ratios. To solve for y, set up a proportion.

The ratios we will create will be $\frac{long}{short} =\frac{long}{short}$ where each long and short form an angle.

So write:

$\frac{12}{8} =\frac{y}{4}$

To solve, cross multiply numerator with denominator.

12(4) = 8(y)

48=8y

6=y

Louise begins factoring the polynomial, which has four terms.

ad-work [718]

Louise wants to factorize completely the given polynomial $4x^{3}+12x^{2}+5x+15$

Grouping first, second terms together and third, fourth terms together

= $4x^{3}+12x^{2}+5x+15$

Taking $4x^{2}$ common from first and second terms of the given expression and taking 5 common from the third and fourth terms.

= $=4x^{2}(x+3)+5(x+3)$

Taking (x+3) common from the given expression,

= $=(4x^{2}+5)(x+3)$ is the completely factored form.
