Answer:

3rd Option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A circle with Center is O.

          Figure is also Given.

To find: Tangent to the circle.

Tangent is a line which just touches circle at one point and passes from outside of circle.

Option 1).

Segment OP is radius of the circle. It is in interior of the circle.

Thus, This is not Tangent.

Option 2).

line ST is Secant to the circle as it passes through circle and intersect at two points. It is in interior of the circle and also in exterior of circle.

Thus, This is not Tangent.

Option 3).

Line MN is Tangent according to the definition of Tangent.

Thus, This is Tangent.

Option 4).

Segment QR is chord of the circle. It is in interior of the circle.

Thus, This is not Tangent.

Therefore, 3rd Option is correct.

Please help <3
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

x =3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x + 4) = 2(5x+9) - 12

First step is to open the brackets by multiplying. It becomes

3×4x + 3×4 = 2×5x + 2×9 -12

12x + 12 = 10x + 18 - 12

Collecting like terms on the right hand side and left hand side of the equation, it becomes

12x -10x = 18 -12 -12

2x = -6

Negative sign on the right hand side of the equation overwhelms the positive sign on left hand side of the equation. It becomes

2x = -6

x = -6/2 = -3

Checking

3(4×-3 + 4) = 2(5×-3+9) - 12

-24 = -12-12= -24

So x = -3

How do you do that?????
Elden [556K]
This question is easy once you understand. So when adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing with whole numbers you turn it into a fraction. So 12 is going to become 12/1. 8 1/8 is a mixed number so we have to turn it into an incomplete fraction. Here is how you do it. Multiply the denominator by the who number. So 8 x 8 = 64. Then you add your product to the numerator, which will make it 65. Then after this you keep your denominator giving you 65/8. Now we have to find the common denominator by finding the LCM. So the LCM is 8. Next we divide the old denominator by the new denominator. So 1 goes into 8, 8 times. And next 8 x the numerator. so 8 x 12 = 96. We do the same to the other side. Now we have 96/8 - 65/8 = 31/8. Finally we make this a mixed number. So 31 divided by 8. So you should get 3 7/8. 

I hope this helps! :)

I’m like super confused can somebody help me please?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Equations are steeper when their slope's positive value is higher (ignore negatives when determining how steep a slope is). The slope is the value in front of x. If there isn't a value in front of x, then it is assumed to be 1.

joja [24]
25 feet = 25 x 12 = 300 inches

First light is at 16 inches.
300 - 16 = 284 inches

Find the rest of the bulbs:
284 ÷ 4 = 71

Total number of lights = 71 + 1 = 72
