Answer:  Length of AB is 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Diameter of a circle is 20 cm and CE = 4 cm

Now as shown in figure AO, BO, CO are radii

\text { Radius } =\dfrac{\text {Diameter}}{2} = \dfrac{20}{2} = 10 cm

Therefore

AO=BO=CO= 10 cm

Now

OE = CO- CE  \Rightarrow OE= 10 -4 = 6 cm

Now in Δ OEB

∠OEB =90°

Therefore by Pythagoras theorem : In a right angle triangle the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of other two sides.

So we have

BO^2=BE^2+EO^2\\\\\Rightarrow 10^2= BE^2 +6^2\\\\\Rightarrow BE^2= 100-36\\\\\Rightarrow BE^2 = 64 \\\\\Rightarrow BE= 8 cm

Now as we know perpendicular to the chord from the center of a circle bisect the chord.

Therefore

AB= 2\times BE = 2\times 8=16 cm

Hence , the  length of AB is 16 cm .

A function f defined by f(x) = x² + px + q is such that f(3) = 6 and f¹(3) = 0. Find the value of q.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

q = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + px + q , then

f(3) = 3² + 3p + q = 6 , that is

9 + 3p + q = 6 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

3p + q = - 3 → (1)

---------------------------------------

f'(x) = 2x + p , then

f'(3) = 2(3) + p = 0, that is

6 + p = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

p = - 6

Substitute p = - 6 into (1)

3(- 6) + q = - 3

- 18 + q = - 3 ( add 18 to both sides )

q = 15

A cube is shown.<br><br> What is the surface area of the cube?
valkas [14]

1350 cm^2.  First, we must find the area of one side.  The formula for the area of a square is S^2 or S*S, so plugging in the value of the side we get 15*15=225.  So each side of the cube is 225 cm^2, so since there are 6 sides, we just multiply by 6 (225*6=1350).
