Answer:

The correct option is a. The length of MN is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: MQ = 10 in, NP = 3 in and QP=24 in.

If the centers of two circles of radius r₁ and r₂ are d units apart, then the length of the direct common tangent between them is

$l=\sqrt{d^2-(r_1-r_2)^2}$

$24=\sqrt{d^2-(10-3)^2}$

Square both sides.

$576=d^2-49$

$625=d^2$

Take square root both sides.

$25=d$

Therefore length of MN is 25 and option a is correct.

Paul predicts that n stalks of corn planted together will produce (2n2–2n)(2n2–2n) ears of corn. If Paul plants three corn plant

Free_Kalibri [48]

Given that the production of n stalks of corn planted has been modeled by (2n^2-2n), then the approximate ears of corn produced by 3 stalks will be given by:
2n^2-2n
plugging in n=3 in the formula we get:
2(3)^2-2(3)
simplifying we get:
2(9)-6
=18-6
=12
the answer is: 12 ears
