Secant RM intersects secant RN at point R. Find the length of RQ. If necessary, round to the hundredths place.

Mathematics
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 years ago

Answer:

3 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

Secant RM intersects secant RN at point R.

The secants intersects the circle at points P and Q respectively as seen in the diagram.

To determine the length of RQ, we use the Theorem of Intersecting Secants.

Applying this on the diagram, we have:

RP x RN=RQ X RM

4(4+5)=RQ(RQ+9)

Let the length of RQ=x

4*9=x^2+9x\\36=x^2+9x\\x^2+9x-36=0\\x^2+12x-3x-36=0\\x(x+12)-3(x+12)=0\\(x+12)(x-3)=0\\x+12=0$ x-3=0\\x=-12 or x=3\\Since x cannot be negative$\\x=|RQ|=3

Therefore, length of RQ=3 Units

What is the distance between the points (-1,2) and (2,3).
ivolga24 [154]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3.16 ≈ 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers in the distance formula and do the arithmetic.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((2-(-1))² +(3-2)²) = √(3² +1²) = √10

  d ≈ 3.16 ≈ 3.2

The distance rounded to hundredths is 3.16. Rounded to tenths, it is 3.2.

A student wanted to find the sum of all the even numbers from 1 to 100. He said:
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The statements are incorrect as: The sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double\twice of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that sum of an Arithmetic Progression(A.P.) is given by:

where 'n' denotes the "number" of digits whose sum is to be determined, 'a' denotes the first digit of the series and '' denote last digit of the series.

Now the sum of even numbers i.e. 2+4+6+8+....+100 is given by the use of sum of the arithmetic progression since the series is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

image with explanation

Hence, sum of even numbers from 1 to 100 is 2550.

Also the series of odd numbers is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100 is given by: 1+3+5+....+99

.

Hence, the sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 100 is 2500.

Clearly the sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Hence the statement is incorrect.
