Answer:

Exact Length = 2*sqrt(30)

Approximate Length = 10.95445

======================================================

Work Shown:

(tangent)^2 = (external secant)*(whole secant)

(CD)^2 = (CB)*(CA)

(CD)^2 = (CB)*(CB+BA)

x^2 = 5*(5+19)

x^2 = 120

x = sqrt(120)

x = sqrt(4*30)

x = sqrt(4)*sqrt(30)

x = 2*sqrt(30)  .......... exact length

x = 10.95445 ............. approximate length

Which function is a quadratic function? c(x) = 6x + 3x3 d(x) = x – 8x4 p(x) = –5x – x2 k(x) = 2x2 + 9x4
Citrus2011 [14]
Easy
quadratic means 2nd degree

means highest power of exponent is 2
so like x^2

first one
we have 3x^3, that is 3rd degree,nope

2nd one
we have 8x^4, nope, that is 4th degree

3rd one
we have -x^2, yep

4th one, we have 9x^4, that is 4th degree

answer is 3rd one or p(x)=-5x-x^2
