Mathematics
1 answer:
miss Akunina [59]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 17, MN = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants from an external point to a circle, then

The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant.

(5)

7(7 + x) = 8(8 + 13) = 8 × 21 = 168 ( divide both sides by 7 )

7 + x = 24 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

x = 17

(6)

9(9 + 2x - 7) = 10(10 + 8)

9(2x + 2) = 10 × 18 = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )

2x + 2 = 20 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 9

Then

MN = 2x - 7 = 2(9) - 7 = 18 - 7 = 11

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?<br><br> y = _ x+_=
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

y=3/5x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

So find 2 points, in this case it will be

(-5,0) and (0,3)

Use the slope formula---> y2-y1=x2-x1 and enter the points above

= 3-0/0-(-5)

3/5

Slope= 3/5

y=3/5x+b

then enter (0,3)

3=0+b

b=3

Prove: Every point of S=(0, 1) is an interior point of S.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that every point in the open interval (0,1) is an interior point of S

This we can prove by contradiction method.

Let, if possible c be a point in the interval which is not an interior point.

Then c has a neighbourhood which contains atleast one point not in (0,1)

Let d be the point which is in neighbourhood of c but not in S(0,1)

Then the points between c and d would be either in (0,1) or not in (0,1)

If out of all points say d1,d2..... we find that dn is a point which is in (0,1) and dn+1 is not in (0,1) however large n is.

Then we find that dn is a boundary point of S

But since S is an open interval there is no boundary point hence we get a contradiction. Our assumption was wrong.

Every point of S=(0, 1) is an interior point of S.
