Hi there!

Since ST is a tangent to the circle, we can use the relationship: tangent squared = external secant segment x entire secant segment.

WORK:
(I will be using x in place of ST)
x^2 = 7(23 + 7)
x^2 = 7(30)
x^2 = 210
x = squareroot(210) or approximately 14.5 inches

Hope this helps!! :)

For f(x) = 3x +1 and g(x) = x2 – 6, find (f- g)(x).

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf (f-g)(x) = -{x}^{2} + 3x + 7}$

Given:

$\sf f(x) = 3x + 1 \\ \sf g(x) = {x}^{2} - 6$

To find:

$\sf (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \implies(f - g)x = f(x) - g(x) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = (3x + 1) - ( {x}^{2} - 6) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = (3x + 1) + (- {x}^{2} + 6) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 3x + 1 - {x}^{2} + 6 \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = - {x}^{2} + 3x + 1 + 6 \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = -{x}^{2} + 3x + 7$

What is the equation for the line of best fit for statistical chart?(In math)

notsponge [240]

The line of best fit is described by the equation ŷ = bX + a, where b is the slope of the line and a is the intercept (i.e., the value of Y when X = 0). This calculator will determine the values of b and a for a set of data comprising two variables, and estimate the value of Y for any specified value of X.

What is -8x - 2y= -4 when y equals -5x

PSYCHO15rus [73]

-8x - 2y = -4

When y = -5x
-8x - 2(-5x) = -4
- 8x + 10x = -4
2x = -4
x = -4/2 = -2
