<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>
=========================================
Explanation:
PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*(2x-4)
336 = 42x-84
336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides
420 = 42x
42x = 420
42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42
x = 10
We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS
NS = 2x-4
NS = 2*10-4
NS = 20-4
NS = 16
Therefore,
QS = QN + NS
QS = 21 + 16
QS = 37
--------
note: as a check,
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*16
336 = 336
we get a true equation, so we have the proper values
If you don't know the derivative of the inverse of sine, you can use implicit differentiation. Apply sine to both sides:
(true for <em>y</em> between -π/2 and π/2)
Now take the derivative of both sides and solve for it:
Formula of the slope of a linear function:
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m= (-1 - 6)/[0- (-5)]
m= -7/5 This is the slope requested
Hi there! I can help you! 8 + (-9) + (-2). When adding negative integers, you have to subtract. 8 - 9 is -1 and -1 - 2 is -3. You would have to start at 8 and go to the left 11 times to land on -3. The sum to the problem is -3.
