Azucchini plant in darnell’s garden was 10 centimeters tall when it was first planted. since then, it has grown approximately 0.5 centimeters per day.
a. choose the rule that describes the function.
b. after how many days will the zucchini plant be 0.185 meters tall?

A) f (x) = 10 + 0.5x

B) first convert meters to centimeters
0.185 × 10 = 18.5CM
plug in 18.5 and then subtract 10 from both sides
18.5 = 10 + 0.5x
divide both sides by 0.5
8.5 = 0.5x
8.5 divided by 0.5 is 17
x = 17 days

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
