Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 intersecting chords, then the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is

EB × AE = ED × CE

x(x + 1) = 3 × 2 = 6

x² + x = 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x² + x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

But x > 0 , then x = 2

Given the sequence in the table below, determine the sigma notation of the sum for term 4 through term 15. N an 1 4 2 −12 3 36 t

By applying basic property of Geometric progression we can say that sum of 15 terms of a sequence whose first three terms are 5, -10 and 2 is $\sum_{n=4}^{15} 5(-2)^{n-1}$$$

<h3>What is sequence ?</h3>

Sequence is collection of numbers with some pattern .

Given sequence

$a_{1}=5\\\\a_{2}=-10\\\\\\a_{3}=20$

We can see that

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{-10}{5}=-2\\$

and

$\frac{a_2}{a_3}=\frac{20}{-10}=-2\\$

Hence we can say that given sequence is Geometric progression whose first term is 5 and common ratio is -2

Now $n^{th}$ term of this Geometric progression can be written as

$T_{n}= 5\times(-2)^{n-1}$

So summation of 15 terms can be written as

$\sum_{n=4}^{15} T_{n}\\\\$\\$\sum_{n=4}^{15} 5(-2)^{n-1}$$$

By applying basic property of Geometric progression we can say that sum of 15 terms of a sequence whose first three terms are 5, -10 and 2 is $\sum_{n=4}^{15} 5(-2)^{n-1}$$$
