Chord Lengths -
(chord segment 1)x(chord segment 1) = (chord segment 2)x(chord segment 2)
Secant Lengths -
(whole secant 1)x(external secant 1) = (whole secant 2)x(external secant 2)
Tangent/Secant Lengths -
(whole secant 1)x(external secant 1) = (tangent)x(tangent)

10. Secants: Quadratic Cases
When the external secant segment is unknown (a variable) it is likely that we will end up with an equation in the form of a quadratic.
(a)x2 + (b)x + (c) = 0
One way to solve these equations is by factoring.

11. Steps to Factoring Simple* Quadratics
Put into standard (a)x2 + (b)x + (c) = 0 form.
Identify factors of the (c) term.
Look for factors that also combine to equal the b term.
Set up two sets of parentheses ( ) ( ) and put the factor of your (a) term in the front of each.
Put the two factors from step 3 in the end of each parentheses.
How to determine signs:
If (c) is positive, the signs in both parentheses are the same; match them with the sign of (b)
If (c) is negative, the signs in both parentheses are different; match the sign of the bigger factor with the sign of (b)
