Theorem: If two chords intersect within a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments (parts) of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.
This means that
If PA=PB, then subtituting PA instead of PB in previous equality you get
Answer: true.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x² - 5x + 2 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 3 × 2 = 6 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 3 and - 2
Use these factors to split the x- term
3x² - 3x - 2x + 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3x(x - 1) - 2(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term
(x - 1)(3x - 2) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 2 ⇒ x =
Roots are x = 1, x =
