The function y=40x describes how far from home Shu Ling is as she drives from Dallas to Miami. Graph the function. Use the graph to estimate how far from home Shu Ling is in 12 hours.

You can see the graph below.

To answer the question, you need to draw a vertical line from x = 12h up, until the line meets with the line.

Once the line meets with the line, draw a horizontal line from that point, and the value where this line intersects with the y-axis will be the distance from home after 12 hours.

The graph is kinda hard to read because the line is really steep, the green line is the equation y = 40*x

the red line is a line at x = 12

The black dashed line is the horizontal line that intersects with the y-axis.

In the graph, you can see that the dashed line intersects the y-axis at around y = 475.

Then a good estimate is that the distance after 12 hours is 475 (miles).

Now, we can compare this with the direct calculation, just replace x by 12 in the given line:

y = 40*12 = 480.

So our estimation is really accurate.

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
