Answer:

RP = 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + x + 2) * (x + 2) = (4 + 6) *4

(2x + 2) * (x + 2) =10 * 4

2(x + 1)(x + 2) = 40

(x + 1)(x + 2) = 40/2

= x^2 + 2x + x + 2 = 20

= x^2 + 3x + 2 = 20

= x^2 + 3x - 18 = 0

= x^2 + 6x - 3x - 18 = 0

= x(x + 6) - 3(x + 6) = 0

= (x - 3)(x + 6) = 0

So x = 3, - 6

We know that the length can't be -ve because it's a dimension

So, x = 3

We know that RP = x + 2 + x

So RP = 3 + 2 + 3

= 8

Hope this helps, and please mark me brainliest if it does!

Answer:

RP = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

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

(x+x+2) * (x+2) = (4+6)*4

Combine like terms

(2x+2)(x+2)=10*4

2(x+1)(x+2) = 40

Divide by 2

(x+1)(x+2) = 20

FOIL

x^2+2x+x+2 = 20

x^2 +3x+2 =20

Subtract 20

x^2 +3x-18 = 0

Factor

(x +9) (x-6) = 0

Using the zero product property

x+9=0 x-6 =0

x= -9 x=6

Since the length cannot be negative

x=6

RP = x+2+x = 6+2+6 = 14

LINEAR, QUADRATIC, EXPONENTIAL REVIEW: QUESTION 3 Find the equation of the line that has a slope of 2 and passes through the poi

Whitepunk [10]

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We have

$m=2,\ (1,\ 7)$

Substitute:

$y-7=2(x-1)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\y-7=2x-2\qquad|+7\\\\y=2x+5\qquad|-5\\\\y-5=2x\qquad|-y\\\\2x-y=-5$

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>point-slope form: y - 7 = 2(x - 1)</h3><h3>slope-intercept form: y = 2x + 5</h3><h3>standard form: 2x - y = -5</h3>

If (-1,4) and (3,-2) are end points of diameter of the circle, then the equation of the circle is

Volgvan

Answer:

If you've more doubts you can ask :)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the centre of a circle is (a, b) and radius r, then the equation of the circle is :

$(x - x)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2$

<em><u>First we will find the centre, (a , b): </u></em>

<em><u>Find radius:</u></em>

$Radius, r = \frac{Diameter}{2}$

Diameter is the distance between (-1, 4) and (3, -2)

$diameter = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\$

$= \sqrt{(3-(-1)^2 + (-2-4)^2} \\\\=\sqrt{16 + 36}\\\\=\sqrt{52}\\\\=\sqrt{4 \times 13}\\\\=2\sqrt{13} \ units$

Therefore , $r = \frac{2 \times \sqrt{13} }{2} = \sqrt{13} \ units$

<em><u>Equation of the circle is : </u></em>

$(x - 1)^2 +(y-1)^2 = 13$ <em><u></u></em>

F(n)=5.(-2)n-1<br>Complete the recursive formula of f(n).

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a(n) = $(-2)(a_{n-1})$

$a_{1}=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is in the form of the explicit formula of a geometric sequence.

f(n) = $a(r)^{n-1}$

Where 'a' = First term of the sequence

r = common ratio

Recursive formula of a geometric sequence is,

a(n) = $(a_{n-1}).(r)^{n-1}$

a(n) = $(-2)(a_{n-1})$

Where, $a_{1}=5$

So the recursive formula will be a(n) = $(-2)(a_{n-1})$

Answer: 100 square cm

Step-by-step explanation: the triangle is 33 cm and the big rectangle is 9x7 square cm. There is a small square that is 2x2 =4 cm so the total is 33 +63 + 4 which is 100 cm.
