Answer:
x ≈ 8.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a tangent and a secant from an external point to the circle, the the square of the tangent is equal to the product of the external part of the secant and the entire secant, that is
x² = 8(8 + 2) = 8 × 10 = 80 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
≈ 8.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We can first take out the common factor of 4, as both 4x² and -32 are divisible by 4.

From here, we can assume that x²-8 is a difference of two squares even though 8 is not a perfect square.
<em>For review, a difference of two squares </em>
can be factored into
