Point o is the center of the circle. what is the value of x?
answer options: 9, 17, 8, 15

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

OP and PQ intersect at right angles since PQ is tangent to the circle. This implies that OQ will be the hypotenuse in the right angled triangle OPQ.

Applying Pythagoras theorem;

17^2 - 8^2 = x^2

x = 15

the rocket cannot penetrate the ground, in a contextual sense, therefore the roots of this equation should be the domain of this function. i'll let you find the roots of this quadratic equation (hint: use the quadratic formula:  

1- c

2-a
