Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the tangent is equal to the product of the secant lengths to the near and far circle intersections.

  (x +4)² = (2x -1)(2x -1 +9)

  0 = (2x -1)(2x +8) -(x +4)² = (4x² +14x -8) -(x² +8x +16)

  0 = 3x² +6x -24 = 3(x² +2x -8) = 3(x +4)(x -2)

This has solutions x = -4 and x = 2. Only the latter works in this geometry.

  x = 2

Solve these equations.<br> |x-7|=x-7
Cloud [144]

Answer:

x ≥ 7

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - 7| = x - 7

A. For each absolute, find the intervals

x - 7 ≥ 0     x - 7 < 0

     x ≥ 7           x < 7

If x ≥ 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 > 0.

If x < 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 < 0. No solution.

B. Solve for x < 7

Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as

+(x - 7) = x - 7

      x - 7 = x - 7

-x + 14 = x

        14 = 2x

          x = 7

7 ≮7. No solution

C. Solve for x ≥ 7

Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as

+(x - 7) = x - 7

      x - 7 = x - 7

True for all x.

D. Merge overlapping intervals

No solution or x ≥ 7

⇒ x ≥ 7

The diagram below shows that the graphs of y = |x - 7| (blue) and of y = x - 7 (dashed red) coincide only when x ≥ 7.

A Nevada roulette wheel had 38 pockets, labeled as 0 00 1 2 3 ... 35 36. One bet is single number. If you bet $1 on a number (an
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

-0.0526

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable denoting the net gain(in dollars) for a single trial(one bet).

Assuming that each number in the wheel is equally likely, probability of the outcome being a victory is \frac{1}{38} and probability of failure is \frac{37}{38}. For a win, X takes value 35 and for a loss X takes value -1. So the model is,

P(X=35) = \frac{1}{38}

P(X=-1) = \frac{37}{38}

P(X=i) = 0 \;if\; i \neq 38, i\neq -1

The mean for one bet is E(X) = \sum xP(X=x) = 35\times\frac{1}{38} - 1\times\frac{37}{38} = -0.0526

Find the value of x.
allochka39001 [22]

In order to find the value of x, you have to cross multiply both equations. 4x-10 is basically 4 times something subtract 10. Same thing as well for 3x-2. Now it says to find the value of x. X has to also be the same answer for both equation as well. By the way x doesn't have a given number so there is no specific answer.
