Answer:

Denote the O, A, B, C, D as shown in attached image:

O is center of circle.

OA = OC = OD = radius of circle

=> triangle OAD is isosceles

=> BA = BD = 12.8

Applying Pythagorean theorem:

OB = sqrt(OA^2 - BA^2) = sqrt(15.1^2 - 12.8^2) = 8.0

=> x = OC - OB = 15.1 - 8.0 = 7.1

Hope this helps!

After being rearranged and simplified, which of the following equations could be solved using the quadratic formula?

Alecsey [184]

For this case we must indicate which of the equations shown can be solved using the quadratic formula.

By definition, the quadratic formula is applied to equations of the second degree, of the form:

$ax ^ 2+ bx+ c = 0$

Option A:

$2x ^ 2-3x +10 = 2x + 21$

Rewriting we have:

$2x ^ 2-3x-2x+ 10-21 = 0\\2x ^ 2-5x-11 = 0$

This equation can be solved using the quadratic formula

Option B:

$2x ^ 2-6x-7 = 2x ^ 2$

Rewriting we have:

$2x ^ 2-2x ^ 2-6x-7 = 0\\-6x-7 = 0$

It can not be solved with the quadratic formula.

Option C:

$5x ^ 2 + 2x-4 = 2x ^ 2$

Rewriting we have:

$5x ^ 2-2x ^ 2 + 2x-4 = 0\\3x ^ 2 + 2x-4 = 0$

This equation can be solved using the quadratic formula

Option D:

$5x ^ 3-3x + 10 = 2x ^ 2$

Rewriting we have:

$5x ^ 3-2x ^ 2-3x + 10 = 0$

It can not be solved with the quadratic formula.

The current in a simple electric circuit varies inversely as the resistance. If the current is 20amps when the resistance is 5 o

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

0.5amps

Step-by-step explanation:

I is inversely proportional to resistance

I = k/R

k = I/ R

k = 20/5

k = 4

This means that, I = 4/R

So, when R = 8ohms,

I = 4/8

=0.5amps
