Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that 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.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) โข (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 โข x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = โโ = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12

i only know the sequence of arithmetic it adds the first is 5+4 then it goes up as it adds to then it is 9+5 then 14+6 then to 20+7 and so on. 5,9,14,20,27,35.
What is the value of the discriminant of the quadratic equation -2x = -8x + 8 and what does its value mean about thenumber of real number solutions the equation has?
Type the correct answer in the box. consider the system of linear equations below. rewrite one of the two equations above in the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, so that the sum of the new equation and the unchanged equation from the original system results in an equation in one variable.
