Answer:

Both the parts of this question require the use of the "Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem".

Part A

The definition of the Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem is:

"If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment."

This, when applied to our case becomes, "The length of the secant RT, times its external segment, ST, equals the square of the tangent segment TU".

Mathematically, it can be written as:

Part B

It is given that RT = 9 in. and ST = 4 in. Thus, it is definitely possible to find the value of the length TU and it can be found using the Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem as:

Thus,

Thus the length of TU=6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

Side 1: 3x² - 2x - 1
Side 2: 9x + 2x² - 3
Perimeter: 5x³ + 4x² - x - 3

Sum of side lengths 1 and 2

3x² - 2x - 1 + 9x + 2x² - 3 =
5x² + 7x - 4

The perimeter is the sum of all three sides.

<u>The length of the third side is</u>

P - (side 1 + side 2) =
5x³ + 4x² - x - 3 - (5x² + 7x - 4) =
5x³ + 4x² - x - 3 - 5x² - 7x + 4 =
5x³ - x² - 8x + 1

Part A - addition

Part B - subtraction

What is MEAN ABSOLUTE DEVIATION and how do you find it?

Fynjy0 [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mean. Step 2: Calculate how far away each data point is from the mean using positive distances. These are called absolute deviations. Step 3: Add those deviations together. Step 4: Divide the sum by the number of data points.

Which ordered pair is included in the solution set to the following system? y > x2 + 3 y < x2 – 3x + 2 (–2, 8) (0, 2) (0,

I am Lyosha [343]

The ordered pair that is a solution of the system is (-2, 8).

<h3>Which ordered pair is included in the solution set to the following system?</h3>

Here we have the system of inequalities:

y > x² + 3

y < x² - 3x + 2

To check which points are solutions of the system, we can just evaluate both inequalities in the given points and see if they are true.

For example, for the first point (-2, 8) if we evaluate it in the two inequalities we get:

8 > (-2)² + 3 = 7

8 < (-2)² - 3*(-2) + 2 = 12

As we can see, both inequalities are true. So we conclude that (-2, 8) is the solution.

(if you use any other of the 3 points you will see that at least one of the inequalities becomes false).
