Answer: FIRST OPTION
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you must apply the Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem. By definition, when a secant line and a tangent lline and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point:

The total measure of the secant shown is:

If the radius is 7, then the diameter is:

Therefore:

You also know that:

Keeping the above on mind, you can substitute values and solve for x:

Answer:
2,973
Step-by-step explanation:
The black bear population B(t), in the park is modeled by the following function:

Where t is the time(in years) elapsed since the beginning of the study.
We want to determine the black bear population in 25 years time, t=25.

There will be 2,973 black bears in 25 years time.
If f(x) = -2x + 2, f(5) can be found by substituting in the value 5 for x in the equation:
f(5) = - 2(5) + 2
Our first step in simplifying this expression is to perform the multiplication as outlined by the order of operations (PEMDAS).
f(5) = -10 + 2
Finally, we must get our final answer by adding together the remaining terms.
f(5) = -8
