Q. B 242242. QUAD is inscribed in circle PP. If A=x215\angle A=x^{2}-15 and Q=10012x\angle Q=100-\frac{1}{2}x, find Q\angle Q.
  1. Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship between angles in a circle.\newlineIn a circle, opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral sum up to 180180^\circ.
  2. Set up Equation: Set up the equation using the relationship. \newlineA+Q=180\angle A + \angle Q = 180\newline(x215)+(100(12)x)=180(x^2 - 15) + (100 - (\frac{1}{2})x) = 180
  3. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.\newlinex212x+10015=180x^2 - \frac{1}{2}x + 100 - 15 = 180\newlinex212x+85=180x^2 - \frac{1}{2}x + 85 = 180
  4. Solve for x: Solve for x.\newlinex212x95=0x^2 - \frac{1}{2}x - 95 = 0\newlineUsing the quadratic formula, x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\newlineHere, a=1a = 1, b=12b = -\frac{1}{2}, c=95c = -95\newlinex=0.5±(0.5)2+419521x = \frac{0.5 \pm \sqrt{(0.5)^2 + 4\cdot1\cdot95}}{2\cdot1}\newlinex=0.5±0.25+3802x = \frac{0.5 \pm \sqrt{0.25 + 380}}{2}\newlinex=0.5±380.252x = \frac{0.5 \pm \sqrt{380.25}}{2}\newlinex=0.5±19.52x = \frac{0.5 \pm 19.5}{2}\newlinex=10x = 10 or x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}00
  5. Substitute x: Substitute xx back into the expression for /Q/_Q.
    /Q=100(1/2)x/_Q = 100 - (1/2)x
    For x=10x = 10, /Q=100(1/2)10=1005=95/_Q = 100 - (1/2)\cdot10 = 100 - 5 = 95
    For x=19x = -19, /Q=100(1/2)(19)=100+9.5=109.5/_Q = 100 - (1/2)\cdot(-19) = 100 + 9.5 = 109.5
