Answer:

22.96 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point of contact of the tangent with the circle be R.

Let the centre of the circle be O.

We are told that from Point P, the length of the tangent is 24 cm.

Thus, PR = 24 cm

Now, the radius will be perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact with the circle.

Thus, ORP will form a right angle triangle where ∠R = 90°

Since radius = 7 cm, we can use pythagoras theorem to find OP which is the distance of P from the centre.

Thus;

OP = √(24² - 7²)

OP = √527

OP = 22.96 cm

How does the graph of g(x) = (x − 2)3 + 7 compare to the parent function f(x) = x3?
sdas [7]

Answer:

Translation 2 units to the right and 7 units up

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the parent function f(x)=x^3 and the function g(x)=(x-2)^3+7

1. Translate the parent function f(x) two units to the  right. The new function will be

h(x)=(x-2)^3

2. Translate the function h(x) 7 units up, then the translated function will have the expression

g(x)=(x-2)^3+7
