Answer:
<u>Secant</u>: a straight line that intersects a circle at two points.
<u>Intersecting Secants Theorem</u>
If two secant segments are drawn to the circle from one exterior point, the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external part is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external part.
From inspection of the given diagram:
- M = Exterior point
- MK = secant segment and ML is its external part
- MS = secant segment and MN is its external part
Therefore:
⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS
Given:
- MK = (x + 15) + 6 = x + 21
- ML = 6
- MS = 7 + 11 = 18
- MN = 7
Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for x:
⇒ ML · MK = MN · MS
⇒ 6(x + 21) = 7 · 18
⇒ 6x + 126 = 126
⇒ 6x = 0
⇒ x = 0
Substituting the found value of x into the expression for KL:
⇒ KL = x + 15
⇒ KL = 0 + 15
⇒ KL = 15
Find the common denominator for both unlike fractions.
EX: 1 2
12 8
The lowest common factor is both fractions is 24. Multiply both denominators to get 24.
Do not forget to multiply the numerators with the number you used to multiply the denominators together.
You do not have to multiply each side by the same number.
(1) y² + x² = 53
(2) y - x = 5 ⇒ y = x + 5
subtitute (2) to (1)
(x + 5)² + x² = 53 |use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
x² + 2x·5 + 5² + x² = 53
2x² + 10x + 25 = 53 |subtract 53 from both sides
2x² + 10x - 28 =0 |divide both sides by 2
x² + 5x - 14 = 0
x² - 2x+ 7x - 14 = 0
x(x - 2) + 7(x - 2) = 0
(x - 2)(x + 7) = 0 ⇔ x - 2 = 0 or x + 7 = 0 ⇔ x = 2 or x = -7
subtitute the values of y to (2)
for x = 2, y = 5 + 2 = 7
for x = -7, y = 5 + (-7) = 5 - 2 = 3
Answer: x = 2 and y = 7 or x = -7 and y = 3
Answer:
RESOLUTION
Step-by-step explanation:
Resolution is the smallest increment a tool can detect and display. For a nonelectrical example, consider two rulers.
