Answer:

A tangent line touches a curve at one point and has the same slope as the curve at that point. A secant line intersects at 2 or more points and has a slope equal to the average rate of change between those points.

Answer:

A Tangent of a circle is found outside of the circle but touching 2 points of the circle on the outside. But a Secant is found inside the circle and it touches 2 points in the circle. A Chord can always be Secant, but a secant can not always be a chord because it may pass through the circle.

What expression can represent 70% of X

agasfer [191]

Answer:

3(x/4) - 1/2 (x/10) or you can just do 0.7x but I don't think that counts as an expression, so just put 3(x/4) - 1/2 (x/10).
