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

John’s teacher gave him the following system of equations and asked him to find the point of intersection. 3x + 2 = y 2x – 3= y
Galina-37 [17]

1) to this case you must match both equations

3x+2 = 2x-3 ⇒3x-2x = -3-2⇒x= -5

now the value of x  substitute it in the any of two equations, y = 3(-5)+2 = -13

and the other equation is the same value

y = 2(-5)-3 = -13

the point is ( -5,-13)

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (−5, −5) and a directrix of y = 7
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: The equation of the parabola is (x+5)^2=-24(y-1).

Explanation:

It is given that the focus of the parabola is (-5,-5) and the directrix is y=7.

The standard form of the parabola is,

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

Where y=k-p is directrix and (h,k+p) is the focus.

Since focus is given,

(h,k+p)=(-5,-5)

On comparing,

h=-5

k+p=-5      .... (1)

The directrix is y=7.

k+p=7       .... (2)

Add equation (1) and (2),

2k=2

k=1

Put this value in (1).

p=-6

Put p= -6, h= -5 and k=1 in the standard form of the parabola.

(x+5)^2=4(-6)(y-1)

(x+5)^2=-24(y-1)

Therefore, the equation of parabola is (x+5)^2=-24(y-1).
