The answer to this is 2.

There are a number of proofs to this. Here, we use Euclidean geometry with trigonometry. If we let the center of the circle to be O.
Then, we have the following equations for the angles
CEO = OED = 90

Since, CO = OD because they're radii of the circle, then
ΔCOD is an isosceles triangle and
OCE = ODE

CE + DE = CD
dividing the whole equation by DE
CE/DE + 1 = CD/DE

Using trigonometric functions:
CE = OC cos OCE and
DE = OD cos ODE

Substituting.
OC cos OCE / OD cos ODE + 1 = CD/DE

Since, OCE = ODE,
cos OCE = cos ODE

The equation would be reduced to:
1 + 1 = CD/DE
CD/DE =2

Nimfa-mama [501]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>a is greater than 1, so a−1 is positive.</em>

<em />

<em>The distance between a and 1 appears to be less than the distance between 1 and 0, so it looks like a is less than 2. Thus a−2 is negative.</em>

<em />

<em>b is negative, so −b is positive.</em>

<em />

<em>The distance between a and 0 appears to be less than the distance between b and 0, so it looks like |a| is less than |b|. Since b is negative and a is positive, a+b is negative.</em>

<em />

<em>a−b = a+−b. Since b is negative, −b is positive. a is also positive. Thus, a−b is positive.</em>

<em />

<em>Since |a| and |b| are both greater than 1, |ab| is also greater than 1 (this builds on the intuition students gained in fifth grade as in 5.NF.5). ab is negative since a is positive and b is negative. Thus, ab+1 is negative.</em>
