Answer:

x = 8.


Explanation:

The external secent line theorem says,
S1E1 = S2E2.

Secent s1 and s2.
External E1 and E2.

E2 = 12.
S2 = 32

S1 = 8 + x.
E1 = 8.

12*32 = 8(8+x).
384 = 8(8+x).
48 = 8+x
x = 40.

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants from an external point to the 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, that is

8(8 + x) = 12(12 + 20)

8(8 + x) = 12 × 32 = 384 ( divide both sides by 8 )

8 + x = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 40

3x + 5y = 7<br> How to solve it
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

x=1 and y=4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given system of equations</u>

3x+5y=7

5x+10y=13

<u />

<u>Multiply first equation by 2</u>

2(3x+5y)=2(7)

6x+10y=14

<u>Eliminate y-variable to get "x"</u>

 6x+10y=14

<u>- 5x+10y=13</u>

         x = 1

<u>Substitute x=1 into either equation and find "y"</u>

3x+5y=7

3(1)+5y=7

3+5y=7

5y=4

y=4/5

Therefore, x=1 and y=4/5

Sarah kicked a ball in the air. The function
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: The ball hits the ground at 5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems incomplete and there is not enough data. However, we can work with the following function to understand this problem:

f=30 t- 6t^{2} (1)

Where f models the height of the ball in meters and t the time.

Now, let's find the time t when the ball Sara kicked hits the ground (this is when f=0 m):

0=30 t- 6t^{2} (2)

Rearranging the equation:

6t^{2}-30 t=0 (3)

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6:

t^{2}-5 t=0 (4)

This quadratic equation can be written in the form at^{2}+bt+c=0, and can be solved with the following formula:  

t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a} (5)  

Where:  

a=1  

b=-5  

c=0  

Substituting the known values:  

t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(0)}}{2(1)} (6)  

Solving we have the following result:

t=5 s  This means the ball hit the ground 5 seconds after it was kicked by Sara.
