Answer:

XY is a tangent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

XY = 12

WY = 20

WZ = 8

Required

Is XY a tangent?

XY is a tangent if:

WY^2 = XY^2 + WX^2

Because XY should make a right angle at point X with the circle

Where

WX = 2 * WZ

So, we have:

WY^2 = XY^2 + WX^2

WY^2 = XY^2 + (2*WZ)^2

WY^2 = XY^2 + (2WZ)^2

WY^2 = XY^2 + 4WZ^2

This gives:

20^2 = 12^2 + 4*8^2

400 = 144 + 256

400 = 400

<em>Yes, XY is a tangent</em>

The average annual salary of the employees of a company in the year 2005 was $70,000. It increased by the same factor each year
dezoksy [38]
We can make use of the general formula for the geometric series to generate the function representing the average annual salary.
an = a0(r)^(n-1)

Or
f(x) = a0(r)^(x - 1)

Plugging in the given values for the year 2005 and 2006 to ge the value of r.
82000 = 70000 (r)^(1-1)
r = 1.1714

Therefore, the function is:
f(x) = 70,000 (1.1714)^(x-1)
