AX and EX are secant segments that intersect at point X. Circle C is shown. Secants A X and E X intersect at point X outside of

the circle. Secant A X intersects the circle at point B and secant E X intersects the circle at point E. The length of A B is 7, the length of B X is 2, and the length of X D is 3. What is the length of DE? 1 unit 3 units 4One-half units 4Two-thirds units

Answer:

DE = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is attached.

There are 2 secant lines in the circle. We can use secant theorem to solve this easily.

It states that "if 2 secants are drawn to a circle from an outside point, then product of 1 secant and its "outside" part is equal to product of other secant and its "outside" part.

From the figure, we can say:

AX * BX = EX * DX

We let the length to find , DE, be "x".

Thus, we can write:

AX * BX = EX * DX\\(7+2)(2)=(x+3)(3)

Now, we solve this for x:

(7+2)(2)=(x+3)(3)\\(9)(2)=(3)(x+3)\\18=3x+9\\3x=18-9\\3x=9\\x=3

Thus,

<u>DE = 3 units</u>

What is the solution set for this inequality? |3x+3|≤9 Graph the solution set on the number line.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because it's an absolute value inequality, there are two inequalities to solve

3x+3 ≤ 9 and 3x+3 ≥ -9, now we solve them separately

x ≤  3 and x ≥ -4, which is -4 ≤ x ≤ 3

How do we rewrite the equation y=-x 4
jek_recluse [69]
To rewrite as a function of x (f(x)), write the equation so that y is by itself on one side of the equal sign and an expression involving only x is on the other side.

f (x) = - x^4
