<h3>Answer:</h3>

x = 3

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The product of the lengths of segments from the intersection point to the circle is the same for both secants.

... 1×6 = 2×x

... 6/2 = x = 3 . . . . . divide by 2

<em>Comment on secant geometry</em>

Interestingly, this relation is true whether the point of intersection of the secants is inside the circle or outside.

When it is outside, the product is of the distance to the near intersection with the circle and the distance to the far intersection with the circle.

What is the product written in scientific notation?

First, you multiply 2.1 by 3.2, which gives you the answer of 6.72. Then, you multiply 10-2 by 10-4. One rule about multiplying exponents, you just add the exponents. So 10-2 x 10-4 = 10-6. Finally you get the answer of C. 6.72 x 10-6.

Daniel buys two apples for every five oranges. If you bought 12 apples, how many oranges dis he buy?

wariber [46]

Answer:

30 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Can someone please solve this problem for me?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

5 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! So to start you need to create an algebraic expression. You can express this problem through the following equation:

*Note: if x is an odd integer, x + 2 is the next consecutive odd integer.

$x *(x+2)=35$

Expanding, you get:

$x^{2}+2x = 35.$

And moving the 35 to the other side, you get a simple quadratic.

$x^{2}+2x -35 =0.$

Solving by factoring:

$(x+7)(x-5)$

This means two possible solutions for the smaller consecutive number are -7 and 5. However the question asks for two positive odd integers, so one of the numbers must be 5. The next will be 7(as its x + 2).
