The correct answer is 3.5
Two chords AC and BD are intersecting inside the circle. The Intersecting Chord Theorem states that when two chords intersect inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal.
Thus, for the given circle:
(AE) × (EC) = (BE) × (ED)
The lengths of the segments are
AE = 7
EC = 2
BE = 4
ED = ?
To solve for ED, we simply substitute the known values into the equation
2x + 2 = 3x - 52
-2x -2x
2 = x - 52
+52 +52
54 = x

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
f(x) = 8 * 3^x
Discussion:
x = 0: f(x) = 8
x = 1: f(1) = f(0) * 3 = 8*3
x = 2: f(2) = f(2-1)*3 = f(1) * 3 = (8*3)*3 = 8 * 3^2
x=3 : f(3) = f(3-1)*3 = f(2)*3 = (8 * 3^2) * 3 = 8 * 3^3
Based on this we guess that
f(x) = 8 * 3^x
Thank you,
MrB
