Alonso went to the market with $55 to buy eggs and sugar. He knows he needs a package of 12 eggs that costs $2.75. After getting the eggs, he wants to buy as much sugar as he can with his remaining money. The sugar he
likes comes in boxes that each cost $11.50.
Let S represent the number of boxes of sugar Alonso buys.
1) Which inequality describes this scenario?
Choose 1
2.75 + S < 55
2.75 +S > 55
2.75 + 11.50S < 55
(D
2.75 + 11.50S > 55

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
