A secant is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points. When a tangent and a secant, two secants, or two tangents intersect outside a circle than the measure of the angle is formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
If
is an even function, then
. In this case,
.
This is because an even function is symmetric about the
. Hence the outputs of a negative x-value and a positive x-value are the same.
The correct option is the first option.
Since the graph is even, the outputs of a negative x-value and a positive x-value are the same.
In the attachement, there is what I came up with so far. I think that finding 'a' is non-trivial, if possible at all.
- the area of a circle
- the area of a circular segment
