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

Can anyone please help!!!
quester [9]

Answer:

Question 9

(a) The distance, Jalaj walks in one day is 4.4 km

(b) The amount Jalaj raises after walking for 22 km at the end of the 5 days is $8

Question 10

(b) The difference between the largest and smallest areas is 2,400 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 9

(a) The distance Jalaj walks in 5 days = 22 km

Whereby Jalaj walks equal distance every day, we have;

The distance, Jalaj walks in one day = 22 km/5 days = 4.4 km/day

The distance, Jalaj walks in one day = 4.4 km

(b) The amount he raises for every kilometer he walks = $1.60

The amount he raises after walking for 22 km at the end of the 5 days = 5 × $1.60  = $8

Question 10

(b) The given side length of the square = 120 meters to the nearest 10 meters

Therefore;

The maximum dimension for the side length of the square = 120 + 10/2 = 125

The largest possible area of the square, A_l = 125 m × 125 m = 15,625 m²

The minimum dimension for the side length of the square = 120 m - 10 m/2 = 115 m

The smallest possible area of the square, A_s = 115 m × 115 m = 13,225 m².

The difference between the largest and smallest areas, A_l - A_s = 15,625 - 13,225 = 2,400 m².

What is the measure of the radius of the cone in the diagram below? A cone has a height of 6 centimeters and diameter of 8 centi
konstantin123 [22]

Answer : 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the radius of a cone is the radius of its circular base.

Since we know the diameter value (8 centimeters) we have ot apply the next formula:

Diameter = radius x 2

Replacing with the values given

8 = 2r

Solving for r:

8/2=r

4=r

So, the radius of the cone is 4 centimeters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
