A piecewise function g(x) is represented by the graph. On a coordinate plane, a piecewise function has 3 lines. The first line has an open circle at (negative 2, negative 2) and it continues horizontally to (negative 5, negative 2). The second line has a closed circle at (negative 2, 0) and then continues up to an open circle at (1, 1.5). The third line has a closed circle at (1, 4) and continues down to (5, negative 4). Which functions represent a piece of the function? Select three options. g(x) = −2x, −2 < x < 0 g(x) = −2, x < −2 g(x) = x − 2, −2 < x < 1 g(x) = −2x + 6, x ≥ 1 g(x) = + 1, –2 ≤ x < 1

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) • (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 • 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 = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
