Explain how finding 4x384 can you find 4x5384

Using the distribution property of multiplication which states that a(b + c) = a x b + a x c. Hence, 4 x 5384 = 4(5000 + 384) = 4 x 5000 + 4 x 384 = 20,000 + 4 x 384. Therefore, finding the value of 4 x 384 will help you to find the value of 4 x 5384 because, adding the value of 4 x 384 to 20,000 gives you the value of 4 x 5384.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
