The two tangent lines for each circle are the same length. Set the equations to equal and solve for x.
1. 4x + 3 = 3x +12
Subtract 3x from each side:
x +3 = 12
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x = 9
2. -2 + x = 2x -7
Subtract 2x from both sides:
-2 - x = -7
Add 2 to each side:
-x = -5
Multiply both sides by -1:
x = 5
Answer:
see bottom
Step-by-step explanation:
divide through by 4
x2 - 2x - 3 = 0
x2 - 3x + x - 3 = 0
(x2 - 3x) + (x - 3) = 0
x(x - 3) + 1(x - 3) = 0
(x + 1) (x - 3) = 0
x + 1 = 0 and x - 3 = 0
x = -1 and x = 3
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
First you figure out which function your going to use. I notice that from the angle we have 5 which is the opposite side and 23 which is the adjacent side. This means we have to use tangent.
Then set up your equation: tan(x)=5/23. This is because the opposite side is 5 and the adjacent is 23 and it must be set up in that order.
Next get x alone by making the equation: x=tan^-1(5/23).
Then put it into the calculator and round to get 12.
