Answer:

Correct option: (3) 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length of the tangent 'T', the length of the external segment 'E' and the length of the internal segment 'A'.

If we have a secant and a tangent to a circle, we can use the following property:

T^2 = E * (A + E)

If the tangent is 14 inches and the external segment is 4 inches, we have that:

14^2 = 4 * (A + 4)

196 = 4A + 16

4A = 180

A = 45

Correct option: (3)

How many solutions does the equation have, x1 + x2 + x3 = 10 , where x1 , x2, and x3 are non-negative integers?
MAVERICK [17]

Non-negative integers are positive integers or zero.

1. When x_1=0, then there are such possible cases for x_2 and x_3:

  • x_2=0,\ x_3=10;
  • x_2=1,\ x_3=9;
  • x_2=2,\ x_3=8;
  • x_2=3,\ x_3=7;
  • x_2=4,\ x_3=6;
  • x_2=5,\ x_3=5;
  • x_2=6,\ x_3=4;
  • x_2=7,\ x_3=3;
  • x_2=8,\ x_3=2;
  • x_2=9,\ x_3=1;
  • x_2=10,\ x_3=0.

In total 11 solutions for x_1=0.

2. For x_1=1, there are such possible cases for x_2 and x_3:

  • x_2=0,\ x_3=9;
  • x_2=1,\ x_3=8;
  • x_2=2,\ x_3=7;
  • x_2=3,\ x_3=6;
  • x_2=4,\ x_3=5;
  • x_2=5,\ x_3=4;
  • x_2=6,\ x_3=3;
  • x_2=7,\ x_3=2;
  • x_2=8,\ x_3=1;
  • x_2=9,\ x_3=0.

In total 10 solutions for x_1=1.

3. This process gives you

  • for x_1=2 - 9 solutions;
  • for x_1=3 - 8 solutions;
  • for x_1=4 - 7 solutions;
  • for x_1=5 - 6 solutions;
  • for x_1=6 - 5 solutions;
  • for x_1=7 - 4 solutions;
  • for x_1=8 - 3 solutions;
  • for x_1=9 - 2 solutions;
  • for x_1=10 - 1 solution.

4. Add all numbers of solutions:

11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=66.

Answer: there are 66 possible solutions (with non-negative integer variables)

worty [1.4K]

Distribute 50 to every term inside the parentheses.

50\cdotx^2+50\cdot7x+50\cdot6

Simplify with multiplication.

\huge\boxed{50^2+350x+300}

You can't simplify further by adding, so leave the answer as-is.
