<u>Question 1</u>
If we let 
, then 
.
Also, as 
bisects 
, this means 
.
Thus, by the intersecting chords theorem,
However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning FE=9
<u>Question 2</u>
If we let CE=x, then because AB bisects CD, CE=ED=x.
We also know that since FB=17, the radius of the circle is 17. So, this means that the diameter is 34, and as AE=2, thus means EB=32.
By the intersecting chords theorem,
However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning CE=8
Answer:
–x² + 12x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 3x
–2x² + 9x + 5
The sum of the above expression can be obtained as follow:
.... x² + 3x
+ –2x² + 9x + 5
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
–x² + 12x + 5
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Thus, the sum of x² + 3x and –2x² + 9x + 5 is –x² + 12x + 5
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first choice ( -12, 20)
Discussion:
Using matrix multiplication we find the equations:
1x + 1y = 8 (A)
2x + 3y = 36 (B)
Next, compute
2(A) - B =>
(2x + 2y) - (2x + 3y) = 2*8 - 36 =>
(2x - 2x) + ( 2y-3y) = 16 - 36 =>
-y = -20 =>
y = 20
Substituting this y value in (A) gives
x + 20 = 8 =>
x = 8 - 20 =>
x = -12
The answer is the first choice ( -12, 20)
Thank you,
MrB
