The chords intersect at point U. What is the value of y?

Mathematics

Andrej [43]3 years ago

Answer:

6 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

For chords that intersect inside a circle, we have the intersecting chords theorem, which states that the product of both colinear segments are equal to the products of the intersecting colinear segments meaning that:

Segment 1*segment2 =segment3*segment4

So 12*4=8*x

We just have to clear x from the equation to get the value of X:

Segment 1*segment2 =segment3*segment4\\12*4=8*x\\x=\frac{12*4}{8}\\ x=6

So the segment Y measures 6 cm.

we know that

<u>The intersecting chords theorem</u> states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal

so

in this problem

RU*UT=QU*US

we have

RU=12\ cm\\UT=4\ cm\\QU=8\ cm\\US=y\ cm

substitute the values

12*4=8*y

48=8*y

y=6\ cm

therefore

<u>the answer is </u>

y=6\ cm

Two angles are supplementary angles. One angle measures 58 degrees. The other angle measures 3n + 5 degrees. What is the value o
stepladder [879]

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles are supplementary when they add up to 180.  So, we know the other angle that isn't 58 is 180-58=122.  Therefore, 122=3n+5\\3n=117\\n=39

Analyze the following situations that represent a relationship between x and y. Which situations can be modeled by the equation
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

I think it's A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

For option A, y would be the height or total growth, and x would be time or months and total height = 0.23 feet × 7.5 months

for option D, y would be the total amount of money spent and x would be the number of granola bars bought.  total money spent = $0.23 × number of granola bars bought

Options B and C don't work because we don't know the initial values and an initial value would be represented in the equation.

In option E, 0.23 represents the total growth in 7 days, so it would be the total instead of the rate of change

Jimmy threw a baseball in the air from the roof of his house. The path followed by the baseball can be modeled by the function f
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part of A is easy. Look at the quadratic function, and the constant, the very last number with no t stuck to it represents the height from which the object in question was originally launched. Our constant is 40, so the height of the roof from which the baseball was thrown is 40 feet. Part 2 of A is not quite as simple because it requires factoring using the quadratic formula.Before we do that, let's make our numbers a bit more manageable, shall we? Let's factor out a -8 to get

f(t) = -(t^2-6t-5) and a = 1, b = -6, c = -5.

Filling in the quadratic formula now looks like this:

t=\frac{6+-\sqrt{6^2-4(1)(-5)} }{2(1)} and

t=\frac{6+-\sqrt{36+40} }{2} and

t=\frac{6+-\sqrt{56} }{2} so the 2 solutions are

t=\frac{6+\sqrt{56} }{2}=6.74sec and

t=\frac{6-\sqrt{56} }{2}=-.742sec and since we know time can NEVER be negative, the time it takes for the baseball to hit the ground from a height of 40 feet is 6.74 seconds. Onto part B.

In order to determine exactly how high the baseball did go, we have to find the vertex of the function. We do this by completing the square and getting the function into vertex, or work, form. Begin by setting the quadratic equal to 0, moving over the constant, and then factoring out the leading coefficient. The rule for completing the square are kinda picky in that you have to have a 1 as the leading coefficient, and righ now ours is a -8. So following the rules I stated above:

-8(t^2-6t)=-40 Next is the take half the linear term, square it, and then add it to both sides. Our linear term is a -6. Half of -6 is -3, and -3 squared is 9, so we add 9 into the parenthesis first:

-8(t^2-6t+9)=-40+??

Because this is an equation, we can't add 9 to one side without adding the equivalent to the other side. But, we cannot forget about that -8 sitting out front there, refusing to be ignored. We didn't just add in a 9, we actually added in a -8 times 9 which is -72. That's what goes on the right side in place of the ??.

-8(t^2-6t+9)=-40-72

The reason we complete the square is found on the left side of the equals sign. We have, in the process of completing the square, formed a perfect square binomial that will serve as the h in our vertex (h, k) where h is the number of seconds it takes for the baseball to reach its max height of k, whatever k is. That's what we have to find out. Putting the left side into its simplified perfect square binomial and adding the numbers on the right gives us:

-8(t-3)^2=-112

For the last step, add over the -112 and set it back equal to f(t):

-8(t-3)^2+112=f(t) From that we determine that the vertex is (3, 112). The max height of this baseball was 112 feet...so no, it did not make it up to the height of 120 feet that Jimmy wanted for the baseball.
