Answer:

d. $\overline{BC}$

Step-by-step explanation :

We are given that a circle of center O.

We have to find the segment that is secant.

Secant : If a line which intersect the circle at two points.Then the line segment is called secant.

a. $\overline{OA}$

It is false because segment OA intersect the circle at one point A only.

b. $\overline{CD}$

It is false because segment CD intersect the circle at point D only.

c. $\overline{BC}$

It is true because it intersect the circle at two points .

d. $\overline{AB}$

It is false because it intersect the circle at one point A only.

Answer:c. $\overline{BC}$

Sophia's credit has an APR of 20.87 % and it just changed its compounding. From monthly to daily what will happen to the effecti

Rashid [163]

Answer:

It will increase by 0.2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we need to solve for the monthly interest first.

We use the formula:

$r = (1+\dfrac{i}{n})^{n}-1$

Now that we have the formula we now define our variables.

i = 20.87% or 0.2087

n = 12

$r=(1+\dfrac{0.2087}{12})^{12} - 1$

$r=(1+\dfrac{0.2087}{12})^{12}-1$

$r=(1+\dfrac{0.0174})^{12}-1$

$r=(1.0174})^{12}-1$

$r= 1.2299-1$

$r= 0.2299$ or 23%

Now we have to find the daily interest rate.

$r=(1+\dfrac{0.2087}{365})^{365}-1$

$r=(1+0.00057178082)^{365}-1$

$r=(1.00057178082)^{365}-1$

$r= 1.2320-1$

$r= 0.2320$ or 23.20%

23.20% - 23% = 0.20% increase.

one number is four times as large as another if the numbers are added together the result is six less than seven times the small

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by working with the information we have and setting up some equations.

We know that one number is four times as large as another. So, let the smaller number be represented by the variable x and the bigger number be represented by 4x, since it is four times as large.

Now, we know that if the numbers are added together, then the result is six less than seven times the smaller number. This can also be represented by the equation 4x + x = 7x - 6.

Let's solve that equation like so:

$4x + x = 7x - 6\\5x = 7x - 6\\-2x = -6\\x = 3$

So, the smaller number must be 3 (remember that x represented the smaller number). To find the bigger number, all we need to do is multiply 3 by 4, which gives us 12. Therefore, the numbers are 12 and 3.

A violin was on sale of 50%

irinina [24]

If it is 50% then it should be half of the original price.

For Example: $30.00 - 50%... the answer would be $15.00 since its the half of the $30.00
