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 .

7x + 2y = -1<br> 3x – 4y = 19
jeka94

Answer:  Y = - 4 & x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of linear equations: We will solve this using substitution but you can use 2 more ways.

7x + 2y = -1

2x - 4y = 19

Leave X  alone first: -------------------

10x - 2y = 18

10x/10 = 18 + 2y/10

x = 9/5 + y/5

Solve for y:

7(9/5 + y/5) + 2y = -1

63/5 + 7y/5 + 2y - 1

63/5 + 7y/5 = 10y/5 = -1

63/5 + 17y/5 = -1 (-5/5)

17y/5 = -68/5 (cancel the 5)

y = -68/17

y = - 4 (Your Answer)

7x + 2(- 4) = -1

7x + (-8) = -1

7x = 7

x =   1

CHECK=

7(1) + 2(-4) = -1

7+ (-8) = -1.

-1=-1

(x+5) (×+5)=49. I need to know what x is, how do I solve this?
Archy [21]
(x+5)^2=49
squaer root both sides
x+5=+/-7
minus 5 both sides
x=-5+/-7
x=-5+7=2
x=-5-7=-12


x=2 or -12

Try this explanation:

Note, in the 1st row given '9x', in the 2d one - '9(0)', then it means the substitution '0' instead of 'x'. In other words <u>x=0</u> !

answer: x-intercept is '0', y-intercept is '12'
