Answer:

CE = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AE = 3

EB = 4

CE = x

ED = x + 1

Required:

CE

Solution:

First we need to determine the value of x by generating am equation as follows:

CE × ED = AE × EB (Interacting Chords Theorem)

Substitute

x × (x + 1) = 3 × 4

x² + x = 12

Subtract 12 from each side

x² + x - 12 = 12 - 12

x² + x - 12 = 0

Factorize to find the value of x

x² + 4x - 3x - 12 = 0

x(x + 4) -3(x + 4) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Or

x + 4 = 0

x = -4

Let's use the positive value of x

CE = x = 3

A store owner pays $1,200 each month for rent to pay the clerk who works in the store $15 an hour the clerk works 60 hours each
Anna11 [10]
So for this problem the equation would be y=15x+1200
x, being the number of hours the store clerk works is 60. You then multiply 15x60 and get 900. 900 hours + 1200 rent is 2100 total. So A. :)

Given f(x) = 3x + 4 and g(x) = 8x + 1<br> then what is ( f + g )(0))?<br><br> *****HELP*^^^^^^
pochemuha

     •   f(x) = 3x + 4

     •   g(x) = 8x + 1


Sum both functions above:

     (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

     (f + g)(x) = (3x + 4) + (8x + 1)

     (f + g)(x) = 3x + 8x + 4 + 1

     (f + g)(x) = 11x + 5


Therefore,

     (f + g)(0) = 11 · 0 + 5

     (f + g)(0) = 0 + 5

     (f + g)(0) = 5   <———   this is the answer.


I hope this helps! =)

If h(x) is the inverse of f(x), what is the value of h(f(x))?.
Marysya12 [62]
To answer the question above, make use of one of the definitions of the inverse functions. If h(x) and f(x) are inverses of each other, then applying the operation, h(f(x)) will give back the value of the initial value. Therefore, the answer is x.
