Mathematics

Answer:

AB = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent and secant are drawn from an external point to the circle.

Then the square of the measure of the tangent is equal to the product of the external part of the secant and the entire secant.

let AB = x, then

x(x + 5) = 6²

x² + 5x = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² + 5x - 36 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 9)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = - 9

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 4 ⇒ b = 4 CM

In its first year of business, Arlo’s Dry Cleaners had a closing balance of –$1,500. The second year it lost an additional $1,20
Alex

Answer:

-2700 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The first year we have a loss of 1500 dollars. On the balance sheet we write -1500, with the negative indicating loss. Some accounting practices will use parenthesis to mean loss, so you might see it as (1500). But in this problem, we'll use negative signs for loss.

The second year is loss of 1200. Add up the two losses (the positive versions of each) to get 1500+1200 = 2700. Then make the result negative. Taking one loss and adding more loss to it means your loss has gotten bigger. So that's why the closing balance at the end of year 2 is -2700 dollars, which is a loss of 2700 dollars.

Answer:

50-50 chance I suppose (1/2 or 5/10) or 40% to 60% percent chance

Step-by-step explanation:

He can guess all of the questions and get all of them right, and it is a possibility that he can also get all of them wrong. So I say, 50-50. I can't lie, I'm having trouble with probability as we speak.
