Determine the possible smallest value(s) of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Len [333]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 5, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangents to a circle from an external point are congruent, that is

x² = 12x - 35 ( subtract 12x - 35 from both sides )

x² - 12x + 35 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 35) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 12)

The factors are - 5 and - 7, since

- 5 × - 7 = + 35 and - 5 - 7 = - 12, thus

(x - 5)(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

smallest value of x is 5

largest value of x is 7

To make grape juice by using frozen juice concen-trate, you must mix the frozen juice concentrate with water in a ratio of 1 to
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

To make 11 grape juice, you will need:

11 (1 * 11) frozen juice concentrate and

33 (3 * 11) water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are making 11 grape juice containers and each container requires 1 frozen juice concentrate and 3 quantities of water, to get the maximum quantities of ingredients required, you will multiply each ingredient by 11.

With the sum of ratio as 4 (1:3), we can also say that 44 (4 * 11) units of both frozen juice concentrate and water are required to produce 11 units of the grape juice.  Dividing 44 by 4 also gives 11 units.  Similarly, dividing the total ingredients of the frozen juice of 11 units by 11 juice concentrate gives 1 unit each and dividing 33 units by 11 quantity of water gives 3 units each in every unit of the juice produced.

What is 55 1/5 - 32 3/4
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

449/20 or 22 9/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Change them to mixed numbers.

55 x 5 = 275 + 1 = 276

32 x 4 = 128 + 3 = 131

Then, convert them to a common denominator.

276 x 4 = 1104

131 x 5 = 655

1104 - 655 = 449

449/20
