Find the value of x and the length of both chords if BW=2x+10, WD=4, CW=7x+5, and WE=2.

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The value of x is 5

The lengths of the chords are 24 units and 42 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In a circle if two chords intersected at a point inside it there are four segments created, two in each cord, the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal

∵ BD and CE are two chords in a circle intersected at W

∴ The two segments of chord BD are BW and WD

∴ The two segments of chord CE are CW and WE

- By using the rule above

∴ BW × WD = CW × WE

∵ BW = 2x + 10 and WD = 4

∵ CW = 7x + 5 and WE = 2

- Substitute them in the rule above

∴ (2x + 10) × 4 = (7x + 5) × 2

∴ 4(2x) + 4(10) = 2(7x) + 2(5)

∴ 8x + 40 = 14x + 10

- Subtract 14x from both sides

∴ - 6x + 40 = 10

- Subtract 40 from both sides

∴ - 6x = - 30

- Divide both sides by - 6

∴ x = 5

∵ Chord BD = 2x + 10 + 4

∴ Chord BD = 2x + 14

- Substitute the value of x to find its length

∴ Chord BD = 2(5) + 14 = 10 + 14

∴ Chord BD = 24 units

∵ Chord CE = 7x + 5 + 2

∴ Chord CE = 7x + 7

- Substitute the value of x to find its length

∴ Chord CE = 7(5) + 7 = 35 + 7

∴ Chord CE = 42 units

-6/7,-3/7,0,3/7 .... create a formula that explains the arithmetic sequence

LenKa [72]

The formula that explain the arithmetic sequence is $a_{n}=\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{9}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the nth term in an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}=a+(n-1)d$ , where

a is the first term
d is the common difference between the consecutive terms

∵ $\frac{-6}{7}$ , $\frac{-3}{7}$ , 0 , $\frac{3}{7}$ are some terms of an arithmetic sequence

∵ The difference between two consecutive terms = $\frac{-3}{7}$ - $\frac{-6}{7}$

∴ The difference between two consecutive terms = $\frac{-3}{7}$ + $\frac{6}{7}$ = $\frac{3}{7}$

∴ The common difference = $\frac{3}{7}$

∴ d = $\frac{3}{7}$

∵ The first term is $\frac{-6}{7}$

∴ a = $\frac{-6}{7}$

- Substitute a and d in the formula above

∴ $a_{n}=\frac{-6}{7}+(n-1)\frac{3}{7}$

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ $a_{n}=\frac{-6}{7}+\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{3}{7}$

- Add like terms

∴ $a_{n}=\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{9}{7}$

The formula that explain the arithmetic sequence is $a_{n}=\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{9}{7}$

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,−2) and has a slope of −2?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:y=-2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (4,-2) and has a slope of -2.

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was -2. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=-2x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(4,-2). When x of the line is 4, y of the line must be -2.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the -2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (4,-2).

So, why not plug in for x the number 4 and for y the number -2? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(4,-2). y=mx+b or -2=-2 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=-2-(-2)(4). b=6.
