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

What is the difference between the mean and the median of the following distribution?
natulia [17]
The definition of mean, is to add up all the numbers and divide it by how many numbers there are. So, in this case the mean would be 1+1+1+2+2+2+2+3+3+4+4+4+4+5+5+6+7+7+8+8+9 = 86. You would then take 86 and divide that by 21, and you would get 4.0
The definition of median states to find the middle of the numbers. So the median would be 4. 
So you would just take 4 - 4 = 0. 

0 would be correct.
