Answer:
AB = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the secant- secant theorem, that is
PA × PB = PD × PC , substitute values
10(10 + AB) = 8(8 + 7)
100 + 10AB = 8 × 15 = 120 ( subtract 100 from both sides )
10AB = 20 ( divide both sides by 10 )
AB = 2
Answer:
True.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the function to equal zero:

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

Plug the values into the equation:




Solve for both plus and minus:



The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.
The answer is
'<span>
x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>
One equation with 3 variables cannot be solved in the sense that you can find "the" 3 values for x, y and m. You can observe that this equation represents a family of straight lines with varying slope (depending on m).
