Answer:

x = - 12, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

By tangent secant theorem:

$x(x + 9) = {6}^{2} \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 9x = 36 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 9x - 36 = 0 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 12x - 3x - 36 = 0 \\ \\ x(x + 12) - 3(x + 12) = 0 \\ \\ (x + 12)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \\ x + 12 = 0, \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \\ x = - 12, \: \: x = 3 \\ \\$

Find the derivative of f(x) = 8x^2 + 11x at x = 7.

sleet_krkn [62]

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Feel free to ask more questions.

f′(x)=2∗(8x(2−1))+1∗11x(1−1)

which is

f′(x)=16x+11

then let x = 7 gives us

f′(7)=123

Hope my answer would be a great help for you.

a recipe for 1 handmade pizza calls for 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour. Showing your work below, how many cups of all purpose flou

KatRina [158]

You need to use the cross product method to find your answer :

1 pizza = 2 ½ cups
3 pizzas = × cups

((2 ½) • 3) ÷ 1 = × cups

7 ½ ÷ 1 = × cups

7 ½ = × cups

⇨ So your answer is: You would need to use 7 ½ cups of flour to make 3 handmade pizzas!

There you go. I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻

Solve the system of equations using the substitution method. y=2+1/4x,

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: (4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In this method you must solve one of the equation for one of the variables and substitute it into the other equation to find the other variable. Then, substitute the value of that variable into one of the original equation to obtain the value of the other one.

2 You have that:

$y=2+1/4x$
