Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 3x + 2 = - 7 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- 3x = - 9 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 3
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent line has length "x + 8"
The secant line has length "x + 6 + 5", where
5 is the inner part
x + 6 is the outer part
Now,
the secant-tangent theorem tells us that square of the tangent line is equal to the outer segment of secant line multiplied by length of whole secant line.
So, we can say:
We can solve for x shown below:
The value of x is -2
Answer:
(- 1, 1) and (- 5, - 35)
Step-by-step explanation:
since both equations express y in terms of x, equate the right sides
x² + 15x + 15 = - x² + 3x + 5 ( subtract - x² + 3x + 5 from both sides )
2x² + 12x + 10 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )
x² + 6x + 5 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 1)(x + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
substitute these values into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
x = - 1 : y = (- 1)² + 15(- 1) + 15 = 1 - 15 + 15 = 1 ⇒ (- 1, 1 )
x = - 5 : y = (- 5)² + 15(- 5) + 15 = 25 - 75 + 15 = - 35 ⇒ (- 5, - 35 )
