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.

Sally and her husband Jim left their house at the same time traveling in the same direction. Sally drove at 55mph and Jim drove
romanna [79]

Answer:

It will take 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know distance = rate * time

Sally's rate = 55

Jim's rate = 65

We want Jim to be 100 miles ahead of Sally

The time will always be the same.

d =Sally's distance


Sally

d = 55t


Jim

d+100 = 65 t


We know have 2 equations with 2 unknowns.  Substitute d= 55t into Jim's equations

55t + 100 = 65t

Subtract 55t from both sides.

55t-55t + 100 = 65t-55t

100 = 10t

divide each side by 10

100/10 = 10t/10

10 = t

A population of caribou in a forest grows at a rate of 6% every year. If there are currently 258 caribou, which function represe
Dimas [21]

Answer:

P(t) = 258( 1 + 6%)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the  population of caribou in a forest grows at a rate of 6% every year. If there are currently 258 caribou, the function representing the number of caribou in the forest in t years will be

P(t) = 258( 1 + 6%)^t

Since it is increasing, it will be 1 + 6%

Where P(t) is the function representing the population after t years.

258 is the current or initial population.
