What is the length of line PS

Mathematics

PQ^2 = PR \times PS

(4x + 4)^2 = (3x + 3)(3x + 3 + 21)

16x^2 + 32x + 16= (3x + 3)(3x + 24)

16x^2 + 32x + 16= 9x^2 + 81x + 72

7x^2 - 49x- 56 = 0

7(x^2 - 7x - 8)= 0

(x - 8)(x + 1) = 0

x - 8 = 0~~~or~~~x + 1 = 0

x = 8~~~or~~~x = -1

x = -1 makes the lengths of segments PQ and PR equal zero.
That is not possible, so the solution x = -1 is discarded.

x = 8

PS = 3x + 3 + 21

PS = 3x + 24

PS = 3(8) + 24

PS = 24 + 24

PS = 48

PLS HELPPPP equation of the line that is parallel to the line y − 3x = 4 and passes through the point (0, −3)
Volgvan

Answer:

y = 3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y - 3x = 4 ( add 3x to both sides )

y = 3x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 3x + c

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3

y = 3x - 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form

3+2⋅[(2+1)⋅5+8] need the answer please
s2008m [1.1K]

Hey!

----------------------------------------------

Solution:

Remember to follow PEMDAS!

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(2 + 1) ⋅ 5 + 8]

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(3) ⋅ 5 + 8]

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(15) + 8]

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [23]

= 3 + 46

= 49

----------------------------------------------

Answer:

49
