Answer:
- The value of PR is 21 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We know that:</u>
- 3(PQ + QT + TP) = PR + RS + SP
- PQ = 7 ft.
- QT = 4 ft
- RS = 12 ft.
<u>Work:</u>
- 3(PQ + QT + TP) = PR + RS + SP
- => 3(7 + 4 + TP) = PR + 12 + SP
- => 21 + 12 + 3TP = PR + 12 + SP
- => 21 + 3TP = PR + SP
- => 21 + SP = PR + SP [3TP = SP]
- => 21 = PR
Hence, <u>the value of PR is 21 ft.</u>
Hoped this helped.

Step-by-step explanation:
By Intersecting Chords Theorem,
9 * 4x = 8 * (4x + 2).
=> 36x = 32x + 16
=> 4x = 16, x = 4. (2)
Answer:
x = 1 or x = ± i
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the sum of the coefficients
1 - 1 + 1 - 1 = 0
This indicates that x = 1 is a root, thus (x - 1) is a factor
Using long division or synthetic division, then
x³ - x² + x - 1 = (x - 1)(x² + 1), thus
(x - 1)(x² + 1) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
x² + 1 = 0 ⇒ x² = - 1 ⇒ x = ±
= ± i
