Solve for x. X = 4 X=10 X=2 X=5

Mathematics

Answer: Fourth Choice. x = 5

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of the intersecting chord theorem.

When two chords intersect each other inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

Given information

BE = 2

AE = 10

CE = 4

DE = x

Given expression deducted from the intersecting chord theorem

BE · AE = CE · DE

Substitute values into the expression

2 · 10 = 4 · x

Simplify by multiplication

20 = 4x

Divide 4 on both sides

20 / 4 = 4x / 4

$\boxed{x=5}$

Hope this helps!! :)

Please help why is d a angle

saw5 [17]

Here is your answer

Both

a) /_D

c) /_ADB

are correct

REASON:

/_ADB represents an angle between AD and BD which is marked in the question.

/_D represents the point where the two lines or rays have a common point, i.e.D

[However writing a single letter to represent an angle is not completely correct. But when there is only one angle represented through the point then writing a single letter is correct

i.e. /_D is correct ]

How do you model 3x= -12 using algebra tiles

alexira [117]

Use 12 to divide evenly among 3 sets. it will be 4 each set. 12 is negative, and you are dividing by a positive, so the answer will be negative (-4).

Use technology to construct an appropriate model of the data. (0,1), (1,-2), (2,-3), (3,-2), (4,1) f(x) = – x2 + 4 f(x) = x2 - 4

Nadusha1986 [10]

The tool I used for modellin is MS Excel. As you on the left side of the picture, I tabulate the x and y coordinates with respect to their columns. Then, I plotted it using the scatter plot graph. In this type of graph, only plots are drawn on the Cartesian plane. Next, I created a trendline as represented by the blue dashed line. There are options to the degree of your trendline: linear, polynomial or exponential. The closes fit is the polynomial with a degree of 2. An option is listed there in displaying the equation. The equation modelled by regression through data fitting is:
y = x² - 4x+1

A series of transformations maps EFGH onto its image.

Afina-wow [57]

Square H"G"F"E" is 6/4 or 3/2 times the size of square EFGH.

Use the following 4 transformations to map EFHG onto its image E"F"G"H":
1. Invert EFGH about y=1 so that it's numbering becomes HGFE, in the same order as its image.
2. Dilate EFGH by 3/2. This will make EFGH of the same area as E"F"G"H". Its center will be at (-4, 1).
3.Translate EFGH along x (horizontally to the left) by 2 units. This will line up EFGH with E"F"G"H" but it will be 10 units above its image.
4. Translate EFGH along y (vertically downward) by 10 units. This will map EFGH onto its image E"F"G"H".
