What is PQ in the given figure?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zanzabum3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of distances from P to the two intersection points along the same secant (tangent) is the same for each. For this purpose, the tangent can be considered to intersect the circle twice at the same point. That is ...

  PN·PM = PQ²

  x(2x +7) = (x +6)²

  2x² +7x = x² +12x +36

  x² -5x -36 = 0

  (x -9)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . . . true for x=9, x=-4

The relevant value of x is 9.

  PQ = x +6 = 9 +6

  PQ = 15

I need help. how do i completely factor 6x^2+7x+2 with an explanation?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(2x + 1)(3x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 6 × 2 = 12 and sum = 7

The factors are + 3 and + 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

= 6x² + 3x + 4x + 2 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(2x + 1) + 2(2x + 1) ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term

= (2x + 1)(3x + 2) ← in factored form

1. 8 = 8 => refrexive

2. If x = y, then y = x => symmetric

3. If x = y and y = 7, then x = 7 => transitive

4. 6 + 2 = 2 + 6 => commutative - addition

5. 5 ∙ 2 = 2 ∙ 5 => commutative - multiplication

6. 10 + (3 + 2) = (10 + 3) + 2 => associative - addition

7. 6(3 ∙ 5) = (6 ∙ 3)5 => associative - multiplication

8. 4(8 + 1) = 4 ∙ 8 + 4 ∙ 1 => distributive

9. 6 + 0 = 6 => identity - addition

10. 8 ∙ 1 = 8 => identity - multiplication

11. 1/2 ∙ 2 = 1 => multiplicative inverse

12. 5 ∙ 0 = 0 => property of zero
