Answer:

x = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants from an external point to the circle, then

The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant, that is

2(2 + x) = 6(6 + 10)

2(2 + x) = 6 × 16 = 96 ( divide both sides by 2 )

2 + x = 48 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = 46

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it's kinda confusing b/c of the minus signs.. huh... but -5 is less than -2 sooo

start with

-2 1/2 - (-5 3/4 )

=5 3/4 - 2 1/2

=5 3/4 - 2 2/4

=23/4 - 10/4

=13/4

there you go... :)

if you want it back in proper fractions

Since 2010, when 102390 Cases were reported, each year the number of new flu cases decrease to 85% of the prior year. Predict th

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

20,158 cases

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $t=0$ represent year 2010.

We have been given that since 2010, when 102390 Cases were reported, each year the number of new flu cases decrease to 85% of the prior year.

Since the flu cases decrease to 85% of the prior year, so the flu cases for every next year will be 85% of last year and decay rate is 15%.

We can represent this information in an exponential decay function as:

$F(t)=102,390(1-0.15)^t$

$F(t)=102,390(0.85)^t$

To find number of cases in 2020, we will substitute $t=10$ in our decay function as:

$F(10)=102,390(0.85)^{10}$

$F(10)=102,390(0.1968744043407227)$

$F(10)=20,157.970260446597\approx 20,158$

Therefore, 20,158 cases will be reported in 2020.
