Please Help me Find NM using Secant

Mathematics
1 answer:
kondaur [170]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

NM = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a property of secants and tangents to a circle where:

The square of the tangent length is equal the length of the external segment of the secant times the whole secant length.

Therefore, in our question, we have that:

NM^2 = ML * MK

The values of NM, ML and MK are:

NM = x + 3

ML = x - 3

MK = ML + LK = x - 3 + 16 = x + 13

So we have:

(x+3)^2 = (x - 3)(x + 13)

x^2 + 6x + 9 = x^2 + 10x - 39

6x + 9 = 10x - 39

4x = 48

x = 12

So the length of NM is:

NM = x + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15

jekas [21]

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x^{3}e^{-x}}{5}

This could be written as

\frac{x^{3} }{5e^{-x} }

Applying L'H rule and differentiating 3 times , we have

\frac{6}{5e^{x} }

taking the limit as x goes to infinity , we have
