Find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth.

x = 8.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the theorem of intersecting tangent and secant segments.

"If secant and tangent are drawn to a circle from an external point, the product of lengths of the secant and its external segment will equal the square of the length of tangent."

8(8 + 2) = x²

x² = 80

x = √80

x = 8.944

x ≈ 8.9 units

Therefore, length of the tangent = 8.9 units

i = 2 / - 5

step-by-step explanation:

evaluation of ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q ) when p = 2 and q = 5 i, by putting values of p and q,                                                                    

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
