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. $\overline{BC}$

Answer:

The initial value corresponds to the y value when x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the graph is given, it is unnecessary to "finish the line." It is only necessary to read the value of y from the graph where x=0.

Answer:

x ≈ 2.87

Step-by-step explanation:

We can subtract 6 to put the equation into a form easily solved.

x^2 +2x +1 = 15

(x +1)^2 = 15

x +1 = √15 . . . . . for the greatest solution, we only need the positive root

x = √15 -1 ≈ 2.87

In circle O below, what is the measure of arc ED?

Serga [27]

Triangle FOD is an isosceles with base FD.
FD = 2 · 4 = 8
FD = CB
Arc CB = 56°
Arc ED = 1/2 Arc FD = 1/2 Arc CB
Arc ED = 56° : 2
Answer:
Arc ED = 28°

PLS HELP ! 100 POINTS!!!!! Select the correct answer. This graph represents a quadratic function. What is the value of a in the

Serga [27]

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a quadratic is

y = a(x-h) ^2 +k where ( h,k) is the vertex

the vertex is (-2,2)

y = a(x- -2) ^2 +2

y = a(x+2) ^2 +2

Pick another point on the graph to determine a

(-1,5) and substitute into the equation

5 = a( -1+2) ^2 +2

5 = a(1)^2 +2

5 = a(1) +2

Subtract 2 from each side

5-2 = a+2-2

3 = a
