What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrei [34K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the secant-secant Formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =         (whole secant) x (external part)

(1+x+4) * (x+4) = (11+x+1) * (x+1)

Combine like terms

(x+5) (x+4) = (x+12) (x+1)

FOIL

x^2 + 4x+5x + 20 = x^2 +  x+ 12x + 12

Combine like terms

x^2 + 9 x + 20 = x^2 + 13 x + 12

Bring everything to the left

x^2 + 9 x + 20- (x^2 + 13 x + 12) = x^2 + 13 x + 12-( x^2 + 13 x + 12)

x^2 + 9 x + 20- (x^2 + 13 x + 12) =0

Distribute the minus sign

x^2 + 9 x + 20- x^2 - 13 x - 12 =0

Combine like terms

-4x +8 = 0

Subtract 8 from each side

-4x+8-8=0-8

-4x=-8

Divide each side by -4

-4x/-4 = -8/-4

x=2

For the standard normal curve, find the z-score that corresponds to the 30th percentile. -0.47 -0.98 -0.53 -0.12
Nata [24]
We are looking for the Zo score that corresponds to the 30th percentile.
 We use the table for the standard normal distribution.
 From P (Z <Zo) = 0.3 we search for Zo.
 Then we look in the table for the value of Zo that corresponds to 0.3.
 Hence, the approximate value is -0.53.
 The option is the third

10) A rhombus has a<br> diagonal 8.6 mm long<br> and an area of 81.7 mm. what is the<br> perimeter?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

P=41.72

Step-by-step explanation:

S=ACxDB/2

81.7=8.6xDB/2

81.7=4.3xDB|:4.3

19(mm)=DB

DO=19/2=9.5

OC=8.6/2=4.3

(O is the center of the rhombus, where two diagonals meet)

a²+b²=c² (DO²+OC²=DC²)

9.5²+4.3²=c²

90.25+18,49=c²

√108,74=√c²

c≈10.43

P=4c

P=4x10.43

P=41.72

Hope it helps:)
