Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

The products of chord lengths are the same for the intersecting chords:

  AQ×BQ = CQ×DQ

  6×12 = CQ×(38 -CQ)

This gives a quadratic in CQ:

  CQ² -38CQ +72 = 0 . . . . . write in standard form

  (CQ -2)(CQ -36) = 0 . . . . . factor the quadratic

  CQ = 2 or 36 . . . . . . . values of CQ that make the factors zero

The minimum length of CQ is 2 units. (DQ will be 36.)

What is the 32nd term of the arithmetic sequence where a1 = -32 and a9 = -120? Choose one answer. A) -384. B) -373. C) -362. D)
Inga [223]
A 1 = - 32,  a 9 = - 120
a 9 = a 1 + 8 d
- 120 = - 32 + 8 d
8 d = - 88
d = - 88 : 8
d = - 11
a 32  = a 1 + 31 d = - 32 + 31 * ( -11 ) = - 32 - 341 = - 373
Answer: B ) - 373
