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

Suppose y = 48 + 3(2n - 1) is an explicit representation of an arithmetic sequence for integer values n ≥ 1. Find the xth partia

omeli [17]

$a_n=48+3(2n-1)$

The formula of the sum of the arithmetic sequence:
$S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a__n}{2}\cdot n$
calculate:
$a_1=48+3(2\cdot1-1)=48+3=51$
substitute
$S_n=\dfrac{51+48+3(2n-1)}{2}\cdot n=\dfrac{99+6n-3}{2}\cdot n=\dfrac{96+6n}{2}\cdot n=3n^2+48n$
Your answer is:
$\boxed{f(x)=3x^2+48x}$

liq [111]

Answer:

The cost of one bear is <u>$47,000</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete and the data is missing so the complete question with data is below with attached files:

To celebrate there 125 anniversary, a company in Germany produced 125 very expensive teddy bears. The bears,known as the "125 karat teddy bears", are made mohair,silk and gold thread and have diamond and sapphire eyes.

The chart shows the approximate cost of " 125 teddy bears". Based on the pattern, how much does one bear cost?

Now, to get the cost of one bear.

So, we solve it by using unitary method:

If 4 bears cost = $188,000.

Then 1 bear cost = $188000\div 4=47000$
