Answer:

The tangent intersects the curve only one point while the chord will intersect the curve at more than one point.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent will touch the curve while the chord cuts the curve.

The tangent intersects the curve only one point while the chord will intersect the curve at more than one point.

From the diagram in the attachment line BD is a tangent while line BC is a chord.

Solve for m 1/C+1/m=1/z

Answer: " m = zC / (C − z) " .
___________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________
Given: 1/C + 1/m = 1/z ; Solve for "m".

Subtract "1/C" from each side of the equation:
____________________________________
1/C + 1/m − 1/C = 1/z − 1/C ;

to get: 1/m = 1/z − 1/C ;
____________________________________
Now, multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides); by "(mzC"); to get ride of the fractions:
_________________

mzC {1/m = 1/z − 1/C} ;

to get: zC = mC − mz ;

Factor out an "m" on the "right-hand side" of the equation:

zC = m(C − z) ; Divide EACH side of the equation by "(C − z)" ; to isolate "m" on one side of the equation;

zC / (C − z) = m(C − z) / m ; to get: 24/8 = 3 24

zC/ (C − z) = m ; ↔ m = zC/ (C − z) .

The product of a number and 4 increased by 16 is -2

Art [367]

The answer is -4.5

To solve these types of problems it's best to work backwards.
-2 - 16 = -18
4 x (n) = -18
n = -18/4
n = -4.5
