Find the value of x.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the center of the circle.
the chord of length 12 can be splitted into two parts of 6 length each.
since the radius does not change when it touches another end of the circle, we can safely calculate our radius to be the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the length of the chord and 3.

Answer:
substitute that value for x in the polynomial and see if it evaluates to zero
Step-by-step explanation:
A "zero" of a polynomial is a value of the polynomial's variable that make the expression become zero when it is evaluated. As an almost trivial example, consider the polynomial x-3. The value x = 3 is a zero because substituting that value for x makes the expression evaluate as zero.
3 -3 = 0

Evaluating polynomials can be done different ways. Straight substitution for the variable is one way. Using synthetic division by x-a (where "a" is the value of interest) is another way. This latter method is completely equivalent to rewriting the polynomial to Horner form for evaluation.
