Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a tangent and a secant to a circle from an external point, then

The square of the tangent is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the secant , that is

PB² = PA × PC = 4(4 + 32) = 4 × 36 = 144 ( take square root of both sides )

PB = \sqrt{144} = 12 → a

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2

PC * PA = PB^2

(PA+AC) * PA = PB^2

(4+32) * 4 = PB^2

36*4 = PB^2

144 = PB^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(144) = sqrt(PB^2)

12= PB

Find the roots of the equation x^2+2x+5=0
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = - 1 ± 2i

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the discriminant b² - 4ac to determine the nature of the roots

• If b² - 4ac > , roots are real and distinct

• If b² - 4ac = 0, roots are real and equal

• If b² - ac < 0, roots are not real

for x² + 2x + 5 = 0

with a = 1, b = 2 and c = 5, then

b² - 4ac = 2² - (4 × 1 × 5 ) = 4 - 20 = - 16

since b² - 4ac < 0 there are 2 complex roots

using the quadratic formula to calculate the roots

x = ( - 2 ± \sqrt{-16} ) / 2

  = (- 2 ± 4i ) / 2 = - 1 ± 2i

A triangle has vertices at A(-2,4), B(-2,8), and C(6,4). If A’ has coordinates of (-0.25,0.5) after the triangle has been dilate
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Now we need to find B' and C' by multiplying 0.125 with the x-coordinate and y-coordinate.

-----

x-coordinate of B is -2, y-coordinate of B is 8

x-coordinate of B'

y-coordinate of B'

So

-----

x-coordinate of C is 6 and y-coordinate of C is 4

x-coordinate of C'

y-coordinate of C'

So

Conclusion:

The below are the TRUE statements:

(i) The coordinates of C' are (0.75, 0.5)

(ii) The scale factor is 1/8

(iii) The coordinates of B' are (–0.25, 1).

seven people are seated in a row. They all got up and sit down again in random order. What is the probability that the two origi
inna [77]

Answer:

P(A&B) = 0.4

Explanation:

Because it is a random process and there are no special constraints the probability for everybody is the same, the probability of choosing a particular site is 1/7, the person originally seated in chair number seven has 5/7 chance of not seating in chair number six and seven, the same goes for the person originally seated in chair number six; Because we want the probability of the two events happening, we want the probability of the intersection of the two events, and because the selection of a chair change the probability for the others (Dependents events) the probability P(A&B) = P(A) * P(B/A) where P(A) is 5/7 and the probability of choosing the right chair after the event A is 4/7, therefore, P(A&B) = 4/7*5/7 = 0.4.

If the events were independent the probability would be 0.51.
