Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two secants drawn from an external point to the circle, then

The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant, that is

x(x + 21) = (x + 1)(x + 1 + 14)

x² + 21x = (x + 1)(x + 15) ← expand using FOIL

x² + 21x = x² + 16x + 15 ( subtract x² + 16x from both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

How can I learn to round better in math

I have always followed an easy rule: "five or more raises the score". What it means is if the number is 5 or more, it goes to the next whole. Make sense?

Write an equation for the line described in standard form with x-intercept 4 and y-intercept 5

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Equation $( \frac{5}{4}) x + y = 5$ is in the standard dorm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the x - intercept = 4 , so ( 4,0) is a point on the line.

and the y - intercept = 5, so ( 0,5) is a point on the line.

So, the slope of the equation is given as = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1 } = \frac{5 -0}{0-4} = -\frac{5}{4}$

Now, the SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM of an equation is :

y = mx + b: here m = slope and b = y- intercept

or, $y =-( \frac{5}{4}) x + 5$

Now, standard form is Ax +By = C

So, the standard form is $( \frac{5}{4}) x + y = 5$

Hence, the above equation $( \frac{5}{4}) x + y = 5$

is in the standard dorm.
