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

The picture below shows Annie and her younger brother Tommy’s money.
lawyer [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Annie: 4 dollars = $4 11 dimes = 11 x 0.10 = $1.1 ( since 1 dime = 0.10 dollars)

4 pennies =4 x 0.01= $0.04 ( since 1 penny = 0.01 dollars)

Tommy 3 dimes = 3 x 0.10 = $0.3 3 pennies = 3x 0.01 = $0.03

Adding the values: 4 +1.1+0.04+0.3+0.03 = $5.47

An isosceles triangle has (5 points) A, at least two congruent sides B. two sides that are perpendicular C. three sides with the
aev [14]

Answer:

A. at least two congruent sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we know that,

'An isosceles triangle is a triangle having two sides of equal length or at least two sides of equal length (special case is equilateral triangle)'.

Thus, from the options, we see that,

Options B, C and D are not correct.

<em>Since, congruent sides means that the lengths of the sides are equal.</em>

Thus, we get that,

'An isosceles triangle has at least two congruent sides'.

Hence, option A is correct.
