X less than or equal to 2
Ok I think it means that the length

of the rectangle is 2 m more than is width

...
The area is A=

so:

Solving this equation (using the quadratic formula) you get 2 solutons. The only acceptable is the positive one, i.e.

, the length will then be

.
Answer: The statue, originally intended to be only 10 feet tall, was on further consideration enlarged so that it finally stood 19 feet tall from head to foot, the scale being such that if Lincoln were standing he would be 28 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps
In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for

and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:

Simplify:



We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:




Now we have our second one. We can combine them:

I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:

Add them up:

Simplify:

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:



So, the answers are

and

The value of x in the secants intersection is 1 units
The value of NM in the tangent and secant intersection is 51 units
<h3>How to find length when secant and tangent intersect?</h3>
The first question, two secant intersect outside the circle.
Therefore,
(6x + 8x)8x = (9 + 7)7
14x(8x) = 16(7)
112x² = 112
x² = 112 / 112
x = √1
x = 1
The second question, tangent and secant intersect,
Therefore,
(x + 3)² = (x - 3)(16 + x - 3)
(x + 3)² = (x - 3)(x + 13)
(x + 3)(x + 3) = (x - 3)(x + 13)
x² + 3x + 3x + 9 = x² + 13x - 3x - 39
x² + 9x + 9 = x² + 10x - 39
x² - x² + 9x - 10x = -39 - 9
-x = - 48
x = 48
NM = 48 + 3 = 51 units
