Answer:

B) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The Segment Addition Postulate basically states that the sum of the segments of a line will equal the length of the entire line.

Thus, AB+BC=AC, and we can substitute:

AB+BC=AC

(4x+8)+(3x-4)=32

4x+8+3x-4=32

7x+4=32

7x=28

x=4

Now that we have x, we can plug it in for segment BC:

BC=3x-4

3(4)-4

12-4

Therefore, choice B is correct

Answer:

BC = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

AB + BC = AC

4x + 8 + 3x - 4 = 32

7x + 4 = 32

7x = 32 - 4

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

BC = 3x - 4 = 3*4 - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8

What is the value of x?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$x=\frac{160-51}{2} =54.5$ °

Step-by-step explanation:

"Theorem 9-13: The measure of an angle formed by two secants, two tangents, or a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside the circle is equal to half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs."

Basically no matter what other circle, secant or tangent you get, you just use the formula $Outer\angle=\frac{far.point - near.point}{2}$

If you need the outer angle, just put the other angles in and solve

If you need the far or near point angle, re-arrange the formula to get that value.

Use the Rational Zeros Theorem to write a list of all potential rational zeros. f(x) = x3 - 5x2 + 8x - 24

masha68 [24]

If I remember correctly this would be obtained from the factors of -24

so i think its +/-1, +/-2, +/- 3, +/- 4, +/- 8, +/- 6 , +/-12, +/-24

Sorry but i cant be sure
