Well, you are trying to simplify the numbers and the equation. You are trying to get the smallest possible number or solution. A difference between the two is that polynomials have factors and variables. Numbers are just numbers. With a polynomial, you have to combine like terms and try to reduce the length of the equation. You may not always fully solve a polynomial. With numbers, you probably will get an exact numeral answer.
6/(2/3) = 6*(3/2), 6*3= 18, 18/2=9 servings
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The formula that relates tangents and secants using the information given is
The distance from the external point to the point of tangencyo^2 = The external point of secant to the circumfrance of the circle * the other intersect point of the secant.
The algebra is much simpler.
y^2 = 27 ( 27 + x)
Givens
y = 45
27 is the distance from the external point to the circle
27 + x is the entire length of the secant.
Solution
45^2 = 27(27 + x) Remove the brackets
2025 = 729 + 27x Subtract 729 from both sides
2025 - 729 = 27x
1296 = 27x Divide by 27
1286/27 = x
x = 48

Hopefully this helps, Idk how well to explain it but Im pretty sure its C if not tell me! :)
