Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
When a tangent and a secant are drawn from an external point to a circle.
Then the product of the external part of the secant and the entire secant and the square of the measure of the tangent are equal, hence
x(x + 5) = 6²
x² + 5x = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² + 5x - 36 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 9)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = - 9
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Two consecutive integers be x and (x+1)
x + x +1 = 7²
2x + 1 = 49
2x = 49 - 1
2x = 48
x = 48/2
x = 24
The consecutive integers are: 24,25
Answer:
1 3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
(2/7)% =
<span>(2 / 7) / 100 = </span>
<span>2 / 700 </span>
<span>2 : 698 </span>
<span>1 : 349</span>
We know the equation of a line is y=mx+b. We know the slope (m) is -2 and all we need is the intercept (b).
Since we know one point, we can plug in 6 for x and 3 for y (along with -2 for m) in our equation and then solve for b.
3= -2*6 + b
3= -12 + b
15 = b
Since we now know the intercept we can now write our equation:
y= -2x + 15
