We know that
If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment. (Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem)
so
ST²=RT*QT
RT=7 in
QT=23+7-----> 30 in
ST²=7*30-----> 210
ST=√210-----> 14.49 in
the answer is
RT=14.49 in
Answer= 16x -20y
Perimeter of a square= 4( Side length)
Therefore, 4(4x -5y)
= 16x -20y
I think that is it cuz e can’t solve it any further
FUTURE VALUE = PRESENT VALUE * (1 + r)^t
PV = 220,000
r = 3%
t = 7 years
FV = 220,000 * (1 + 3%)^7
FV = 220,000 * (1.03)^7
FV = 220,000 * 1.22987386542487
FV = 270,572.25
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:
<em>After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant, the hay was contaminated by iodine 131 ( half-life, 8 days). If it is all right to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay? </em>
iodine's half life (we are given x, we need to find b):
0.5A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
x = 8 days
we eliminate A₀ from both sides
0.5 = eᵇ⁸
ln 0.5 = ln eᵇ⁸
-0.69315 = b8
b = -0.69315 / 8 = -0.08664
since the farmers need to wait until only 10% of the iodine remains (we already calculated b, now we need to find x):
0.1A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
0.1 = eᵇˣ
ln 0.1 = bx
where b = -0.08664
x = ln 0.1 / -0.08664 = -2.302585 / -0.08664 = 26.58 days
