Answer:

Perimeter = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: when two tangents are drawn to meet at a point outside a circle, the segments of the two tangents are congruent.

Given,

CQ = 5

PQ = 10

PR = 14

Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR

CQ = QB = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)

BP = PQ - QB

BP = 10 - 5 = 5

BP = PA = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)

AR = PR - PA

AR = 14 - 5 = 9

AR = RC = 9 (tangents drawn from an external point)

✔️Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR

= 9 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 9

Perimeter = 38

How to factor this problem with negative exponents? -4x^-4-3x^-2+1=0

Nat2105 [25]

$-4x^{-4}-3x^{-2}+1=0\\
-4x^{-4}-4x^{-2}+x^{-2}+1=0\\
-4x^{-2}(x^{-2}+1)+1(x^{-2}+1)=0\\
-(4x^{-2}-1)(x^{-2}+1)=0\\
4x^{-2}-1 =0 \vee x^{-2}+1=0\\
4x^{-2} =1 \vee x^{-2}=-1\\
x^{-2}=\frac{1}{4} \vee \frac{1}{x^2}=-1\\
\frac{1}{x^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\
x=-2 \vee x=2

30% of salesperson in ABC Ltd are male. A random sample of 100 salesperson is selected. What are the possible values of X?

ohaa [14]

Answer:

x is 0.3 or 30 male

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is following,

30 percent of salesperson in ABC Ltd are male.

100 salesperson of random sample

Calculation,

30% x 100 = 30

It means 30 people are male

So,

Probability of men among the sales person will be

30/100 = 0.3

Therefore, the value of x is 0.3 or 30 male.
