Answer:

Exact Length = 2*sqrt(30)

Approximate Length = 10.95445

======================================================

Work Shown:

(tangent)^2 = (external secant)*(whole secant)

(CD)^2 = (CB)*(CA)

(CD)^2 = (CB)*(CB+BA)

x^2 = 5*(5+19)

x^2 = 120

x = sqrt(120)

x = sqrt(4*30)

x = sqrt(4)*sqrt(30)

x = 2*sqrt(30)  .......... exact length

x = 10.95445 ............. approximate length

A function, f(x) = 4x + 5, has a domain 0 < x < 50. What is its range?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

f(x) = 4x+5 ; 0 ≤ x ≤ 50

 

The range is the possible output values of f(x)

 

4(0) + 5 = 5       smallest output value in range

4(50) + 5 = 55    largest output value in range

 

The outputs are between 5 and 55 including the endpoints so

the range is [5, 55]

10/3. To find this answer you have to either multiply or divide by a specific number. You choose the number that goes into each of them. In this case I divided by 2 to both the top and bottom number. When I did this I got the answer of 10/3

Point B is on line segment AC . Given AB=3x,AB=3x, BC=4x+8,BC=4x+8, and AC=5x+10,AC=5x+10, determine the numerical length of AC
kolezko [41]

Answer:

AC = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4x + 8 = 5x + 10

7x + 8 = 5x + 10

2x + 8 = 10

2x = 2

x = 1

5(1) + 10 = 15
