In the diagram of circle O, tangent PB is drawn as is secant PAC. We wish to prove the Secant/Tangent Length Theorem, i. e. PA x PC = PB^2. (a) Explain why PAB is similar to ΔPBC (i. e. explain which two angles pairs must be congruent and why).
(b) Set up a proportion involving PA, PB, PC, and based on the similar triangles and rewrite it in product form. Draw the two similar triangles separately and in the same orientation to help.

∡ eia and ∡ kij are congruent

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.
